[@AlteredState1123]

Echoing other comments: follow a structured program, don’t just pick from the top tier. I see many of the lower tier as warm up exercises and preparatory. I like this continuum: single effort, multiple efforts with sticking the landing, multiple effort with double hops in between, and multiple effort without any interruption. Great video!

[@josephdittrick4008]

Honestly idk why there’s not more ppl following this video is great for those looking to make their own program and teaches a lot great content would recommend 10/10

@@Ace.Hoops1so on my plyometric days I do high pogo hops for 1 minute and 3 sets(total 3 mins) -then I do maximum height jumps where I just jump as high as I can(30 reps in total I don’t usually do it in sets) , -after that lateral bounds but it has a mix,I explode to my right side and as soon as I land on my right leg I jump high and when I land back down I lateral bound to my left side and repeat the same (10reps each sidex3 sets) -broad jumps to high jumps,I basically do a broad jump but instead of landing/stopping I instantly pop up and do a high jump and then again a broad jump(10 X 3 sets) -in the end I just do hurdle jumps (10 x 3 sets) -and then I finish my session with 1 minute single leg pogo hop But before you do this ,start with once or twice a week otherwise u might overwork your tendons or injure yourself,. If u are already playing your sport a lot then 2 times is more than enough , I do these 2-3 times a week ,hope it helps :)

[@archsys307]

The physics of a vert are very insightful. Work = F*d which is generated while jumping, from your lowest point to when feet leave the ground, equals potential energy at the top = mgh. And F is just the average force you are able to push with during that .2s window, a % of your max squat (80% is decent) while d is the vertical displacement from lowest point (crouching to jump) to standing height, 15 to 20 inches approx range. So Fd = mgh means h = your vert = F/(mg) * d. And mg is your bodyweight in lbs (because lbs is a force unit not mass). That’s gold, it immediately reveals everything you need to improve your vert. Increase F or decrease your weight because d is mostly fixed depending on your height. And to increase F you can either increase your max squat or increase the % of your max squat force you can exert during the .2s jumping window. For example: a 200lbs athlete w a 400lbs squat but only 60% utilization, and lets put d=18”, will have a vert of 400*60%/200 * 18” = 240/200 * 18” or almost 22”. If he bumped his % up to 80, now we’re looking at a 320/200 * 18” = 29”. And if he cut to 180 while maintaining the 400 squat, let’s just imagine no strength loss, now we’re talking about a 36” vert.

[@archsys307]

It also backs up the rule of thumb that every 10lbs on your squat gives you an inch on your vert, because you’re adding a bit under 10lbs to F and dividing by your bodyweight which is likely a bit under 200, so you’re increasing the F/mg ratio by about 5% (10/200). And 5% of d = 15 to 20 inches is right around 1 inch.

[@assanethiaw6442]

Great explanation, appreciate it a lot . How do you improve your strength output in a limited time frame tho?

[@blueleader392]

@@archsys307 what does utilization represent, how can I get more of it?

[@archsys307]

@@blueleader392It’s just what percent of your max squat you can output during that .2s window when you’re pushing off the ground, thats your explosiveness. Players with elite verts both have a high squat to bodyweight ratio and high explosiveness, they translate a ton of that total force potential into that .2s window Plyo and any other explosiveness oriented training will improve that

I was a swimmer all my life. Graduated college 5 years ago. Earlier this year I decided to begin training for a popular adult league. I know it’s not “smart”…but I just took the high-tier exercises (and reps from the other video), and organized them into different workouts alongside sprints, strength training, upper body plyo, etc. Definitely helped my dives and flip turns.

At least as a first goal (if i may dunk after 6 months pratice great!).

Great video bro. As a 17 year old with a natural feel for the game and natural talent but average athleticism for a hooper at 6 foot which has been holding me back, how often do you recommend doing these and what tier to start at for someone looking to improve their overall explosiveness and their vert?

I think you're supposed to do them every other day. At least that's what a few other guys have said. If you want, I can drop a link to the workout I use.

[@TheRealTomahawk]

I feel like you’ve thought about this, but maybe you wish you would have mentioned it: jumping from heights is called haijutsu in Japanese, a skill for evasion and landing safely in jumping from heights. Also, barbell squats, the long and high jumps.

[@flix.8098]

I wanted to ask, if i dont have a high object to touch can I just jump high with aproach? Anyways really great vid keep it up!

[@winstonsol8713]

There’s no hoop? If you’ve got a hoop, aim for a spot on the net. Tree branch, preferably a large one whose height is constant. Taught string tied between two points. Tape different colored pieces of paper of varying lengths right next to each other on the string. Run the string so that it’s tight and straight between two high points…a house gutter and a tree, two trees, etc. Many neighborhoods have phone poles next to sidewalks and there are metal bars hanging across the sidewalk at about 9 feet. There’s almost always something. You DO want a visual spot to aim for. It’s not the same exercise if you’re not aiming for a specific height.

[@supermax5000]

What are the tiers we should be focusing on applying throughout our plyometric training for best vertical jump results?

[@NathanaelMorton]

Really you should focus on Minor plyos as a beginner, Good as an intermediate, Great as Intermediate-Advanced and Major as an Advanced athlete. Thats a great way to look at it for most of these plyos. Not sure if this answers your question.

[@midse.1300]

Are all of these excersisen plyos? Cause in another video you said that beginners and intermediate athletes should do mixed training (1. warm up, 2. plyos, 3. power, 4. max strength, 5.hyperthropie and then static stretching) and you explained that power is moving weight fast and strength is moving more weight slow. Plyos are fast and power training gotta be fast too, so are exercises like dumbell pogos and dumbell squats power or plyo exercises? And how much percent of my bodyweight do i have to use doing power exercises?

[@NathanaelMorton]

Yes all of these are plyos. I made another video on strength training exercises. Dumbbell pogos and squat jumps are both plyos and power exercises. Between 30-80% of your 1 rep max is considered power training - that is, heavy enough to improve force but light enough to improve velocity. For dumbbell pogos and squat jumps, work from 5% of your body weight up to 20% of your body weight.

[@madhumalabp6346]

Does agility ladder foot work drill increase fast twitch muscle fibers which help to increase vertical jump

[@NathanaelMorton]

An agility ladder is great for the central nervous system. Yes, you'll be working more to improve fast twitch than slow, but in terms of that transferring to your vertical jump it would be very minimal. Great to do for the nervous system absolutely - but vertical jump gains would be minimal.

[@tomcramb9309]

GOOD DRILLS

[@watunki]

if we're starting out with plyos and balancing them with resistance training for muscle growth as well as basketball, which exercises from these do you recommend?

[@NathanaelMorton]

Starting out as a beginner? If that’s the case, I’d take 1-2 months of doing only the ‘Minor’ plyos. Then do the same with Good, Great, and Major. This list is laid out in a way that the more intense exercises are higher up on the list (although it’s not always the case because you can do Sprints at any level, same with High Object Touches). However, adding the plyos from Minor for 1-2 months and then going up tier by tier would allow you to see great gains on your vert without getting injured. Also - this is a hard question to answer when there are 40 plyos lol. If using that strategy that I mentioned - pick 3-5 plyos and progress them each week.

38 inch vertical is definitely advanced, however each exercise is different. It’s possible for you to be a beginner in certain plyometrics just because you haven’t done those before. Let’s say you have a 38 inch vert but you’ve never done drop jumps. I would not start you on a 30 inch box - I’d start you at a 12 inch box. So as far as vertical, you’re definitely advanced - just be sure to do regressions of each exercise before diving all the way into the intense progression of that certain exercise.

[@monkeydan2258]

How do you know you are advanced in your hops?

[@NathanaelMorton]

Great question - it doesn't have as much to do with you actual vertical jump like 35 or 40+ inches (although that definitely plays a role), but more to do with your training age and what your body has been subjected to before. An advanced athlete (in terms of plyos) has a training age of 3+ years of consistent exposure to plyometrics and jumping. At the same time, if those 3 years have been lacking in a certain category of plyos (Rate of Force Development plyos, Reactive Strength plyos, repping the actual skill of an approach jump, etc) then they could squeeze more gains from the category they're lacking in. Tough to say exactly when an athlete is considered advanced, but the higher your vert, the more advanced you are. The higher your training age, the more advanced you are. The higher an exposure to a given plyo category, the more advanced you are in that category.
