You're probably one of the few if not the only one people who explain really clear and in detail what you need to do to improve your vertical, I can see the experience in that field, I would appreciate a video talking about a schedule between lifting, jumping and resting, for example if we also should do plyos or only dunking and the best excercises to avoid knees or tendons pain (with weights or not), appreciate you 🙏

[@tinodeleon3237]

Buy the brothers program 💪🏽😅

[@stud_end123]

Plyos are mainly icing on the cake. Is is advised to squat 1,5x to 2x your bodyweight to have strong enough tendons for them. The biggest focus for jumping higher for majority of ppl is to get your squat high relatively to your bodyweight and jump atleast twice a week. You want to be fresh for your jump sessions to get the most of them.

[@CoachKRiLLiN]

Thanks for the good info. I was hitting my head on the rim in the 90s and early 2000s before I hurt my knee. I can still dunk at 42 but am nowhere near as explosive as I used to be since I also broke my back in 2007. I’m finally getting spinal fusion next month and once I’m fully cleared to workout again I plan on buying your program. My new goal is to be able to dunk at 50!

[@IsaiahRivera1]

That is an amazing goal man, we’ll do our best to help you reach it 🫡

Have you recovered yet?

[@CoachKRiLLiN]

@@Ace.Hoops1 For the most part. I was cleared to start exercising in December and I have spent the last few months working on base core strength, mobility and just started weight training this week. I've gone as far as doing a baby jump to touch the rim but I can tell that my back isn't ready for anything full force just yet. Hopefully the weight training helps with that. Thanks for asking!

Me and my friend would have hours of dunking/jumping on the weekend and then during the week we noticed jumping during games would be so easy and high. It really works

[@domidunks]

Yeah this makes a ton of sense!From ages 18-21 I was able to increase my vert by hooping 2-3 hours every day, max jumping between games, and only lift a little bit. Ages 22-25 I started running into injuries trying to do the same thing, got on THP and found the sweet spot for me is 1-2 times a week.

[@zergbong]

38 here. Used to dunk when I was 23, then 15 years of lazyness and fatness. Got serious this year, down 40 lbs, lifting and back to dunking. Two sesssions a week. Yeah my knees are hurting for a day after a session, but I am building up and I am not going over what I can do now

[@mrhuman5447]

Very insightful, great video.

[@joshuarwilliquette]

Had an elbow surgery a month back, haven't been able to hoop but I've been hitting legs and supersetting 3-4 sets of explosive quarter squats with plyos since the surgery... Yesterday I went to jump up and grab my friends rim and my vertical seemed mostly the same... Granted, I had went on a run earlier that day and may have been a bit fatigued but still, I thought that the sheer volume and intensity of, literal, legwork that I've been putting in would yield a noticeable difference in vertical when I came back, particularly because most of the vert training I did before my surgery was all plyos and dunk attempts as opposed to strength training, but it didn't feel much different. Anyway, I say this to emphasize the importance of the law of specificity, maybe the strength training I'm doing now will prove to be helpful when I can start hooping again, but strength training and plyos alone don't seem to do much. Thanks for your content by the way, when I finally dunk I'll have to give you partial credit lmao.

[@easybuckets9740]

Should my max vert be much higher then my vert when dunking with the ball in my hands? I think I have gotten so used to jumping with the ball in my hands that there is almost no difference if I take away my armswing.

[@IsaiahRivera1]

Yeah there should be a difference. Probably just need to rep it out more

Hey so I've been binging your videos and it seems I'm really close to where you were at my age. It's about to be summer before my senior year and my vert is about 36 inches and 6'1, I'm currently on a free vert program. But I have to ask how you recommend I learn new dunks, do I look up tutorials or just keep on trying on lower rims or what. One factor that's messing me up is I tend to get tired when trying to learn a dunk, and I'm trying to learn to 360 also and I get dizzy and almost lost in the air. Sorry I kind of just splurged about different things, but if you can give some tips on anything I'd appreciate it SO much.

Hey Isaiah , I just started playing basketball in the beginning of this year and i really wanna land my first dunk , I can naturally jump ´´high´´ and can grab rim without special training (just playing basketball). I,m planning to train my vertical with a mixture of plyos and strength training , so my question is: How long would it take from grabbing rim to dunking?? infos: 6 feet with shoes and a 7´10.5 standing reach

[@Mateen164]

Jump technique is a bit factor so you could dunk in the next couple of days depending on ur technique

[@Realserg]

@@Mateen164if your technique doesn’t change, u need to get your hand 5+ inches above the rim to be able to dunk so maybe 6-8 months depending on other factors obviously

[@pablodavid1908]

Nice, bro do you indicate jump atack tim grover progam??

[@JalonLovesJesus]

Does doing jump rope 6 times a week help with that?

[@IsaiahRivera1]

Hell no.. it needs to be max approach max effort jumps. Specificity is key

[@selda2528]

it helps adoption and endurance but u dont train enough force output... its not specificly building towards max output. its ebdurance vs hight. ... jump.roping barefoot or in minimalist shoes can help the foot. aka heal taps on those can up to a point, strengthen the shins. but other than that. u need to train for peak output. and it wont do that.... its the difference between marathon running and sprinting.... u need to sprint... u arent sprinting.... u are marathon running. barwfoot dunking is kinda like making u be less suported. that can negatively impact dunk performance... padding helps u to have lesser stress on the tendents. but if they are strong enough... thou more padding just alows for more frequency couse tendents are lesser the issue... thats why i use those shoes outside of dunking.. i dont dunk a lot so for one day out of the week. i try to increas my hight but i am not that interested so i am not optimised and thus much slower at it.... wich is the tradeoff... and if u do it frequent. u need to manage load... u can get more jumps at the same intensity. or the same jumps at that intensity if u have padding

[@selda2528]

also. low intensity. short time jumproping for bloodflow... sometimes. 6 times. hell no. jumproping adiionaly after dunking can increase tendents. but dunking often is enough. thou it can help to do it low intensity 2 x a week is what i found.. as foot strengthening exercise.. not as dunking.. and u could as easily do death drops in the gym...also if u get to strong. jump roping wont do shiz... so no... u can also not just be a dunker and sacrefice some gains there. but... its up to u

[@selda2528]

at that point it becomes like walking.. just deconjesting the foot with lower stressing stuff.. but yea.. its ... a thing.. u can either find apropriate levled foot strengthening exercises or do deconjesting low stress stuff.. jump rope can be both.. and to get footstrengthening out of jump rope.... u either have to be weak or u have to do it weighted with weight vest or u use barefoot shoes .. or both.. but yea... or u use jump rope to deconjest with low impact stuff to get bloodflow and all.. but yea.... not as your main training stuff

[@fusogaming2520]

I disagree jus do jump roping for 10 mins 5 times a week I have been doing that for the last 3 Months but obviously with max jump approaches and being in the weight room helped my explosibeness

[@shakenbacon-vm4eu]

Tips on knee pain on my penultimate leg, feels like PFP? The pain is specifically from the landing on my heel for the penultimate, I think cuz that motion sends all the force to my knee. If I jump rope, do depth jumps, sprint…basically do things where I land on my toes, I have no pain since my ankle takes a lot of the force absorption.

[@IsaiahRivera1]

Here are notes I have on my phone about PFP: PFP PAIN NOTES - Couch stretch - Dorsiflexion stretch - Abduction work - Seated calf raise - Load management - Proper ramp up - Knee extension strength - Positive mindset - 3 or less during rehab ok - Next day pain should return to baseline - Pain should decrease week to week - Load every other day

you gotta do isometrics for your knees. stretch out your hips, strengthen your ankles and stretch your calves to fix your knee and achilles pain. this is basically 100% of what you need to do to fix your problem. now you should go research on the internet and use my advice as a guideline and learn from ppl smarter than me and get to work and get healthy. good luck

I had sinding larsen, instead of the bump on the tibia it was on my kneecap and it took until I was 18 for it to fully heal. Im not sure if theres any other way to get rid of it without resting/ managing it or just letting your bones mature. I tried some physical therapy but it didnt help that much.

[@rapzombie5720]

@@prodTenzer try keep pain at or under a 3 out of 10. I'm not an expert on avulsion fractures so I'm not sure but Osgood shlatters happens from your tendon tugging on your bone too hard because its tight from growing and your bone is weak from growing. It's safe just to keep pain as low as possible until your body matures. My guess is it wont lead to a avulsion fracture as long as peak forces dont exceed your limit. You could try some type of physical therapy like isometrics or slow lifting if it doesnt aggravate it. When I had sinding larsen I wasnt really worried about an avulsion fracture but for some reason it caused my knee to suffer from horrible tendinipathy, my whole tendon was diseased and my main worry rupturing or tearing my tendon. I wasnt sure if I would ever recover but I somehow did over 3-4 years later. I am now doing vertical jump training so there you go.
