[TheGutiargod]

I'm the exactly the same as the guy below me I'm 15 nearly 5'10 and about inch and a Half from the rim what's the best way for me to get my jump better ?? Thanks

[chasecurtiss]

@TheGutiargod Make sure you are FOAM ROLLING! and really focus on getting warmed up with a good stretch! Have you checked out our vertical jump handbook?

[zingGodin]

hey im 5'10 1/2 and an inch away from the rim. is this good bad or average? and do you think i'll be able to dunk. btw im 15

[KhristovAnimations]

Hey, I am 5'6'' and 15 years old. Do you think I'll grow to 6'0''? I play basketball everyday, I lower my hoop to 8'8'' and practice dunking. I will try the Vertical Leap Program

[Billy2silky]

The program has really helped me out. Especially when stretching and activating muscles. Great job guys

Chase, I brought your program PDF a week ago. I dont understand the workout sheets schedule. It has 3 sheets for weeks 1&2 and same for other weeks. Your video is missing lying foot raises and videos are not in the same order as your pdf sheet. Can you please help? Thanks for your time and response.

Hey Chase, first off, your vids are great! One question, im about 5ft 9" without shoes, give a couple inches with shoes, i have been doing diferent excersises to improve my vert. (squats, calf raises ect.) I can get about 2-4 inches above the rim, but still cannot dunk. I am able to palm the ball tho, any tips on how to get my last few inches? Thanks!

[GreenTheVideoCritic]

There's a psychological side to jumping too. My brother and I tend to tense up when we jump, and I imagine a lot of other players might too. Instead of thinking about jumping really high or jumping at all, think about flying. I've found I jump half an inch higher; not much, but it could make a difference. My brother said if you relax right, you naturally exhale a little bit.

[phillyasnballer]

hey chase did you play in the nba d-league before?

[gangstar1011]

hey chase just wondering should i do squats everyday or everyother day ? O and good tips.

[chasecurtiss]

@gangstar1011 You want to give your muscles a chance to rest and recover so at least one day is good. Check out our shotscience main page for the full vertical leap series!

[buffussss]

thanks for all these tips

[mambaized]

The squat thing is great! I do it right before I play basketball and now im like 1 inch from touching rim.

[chasecurtiss]

@mambaized AWESOME!!!

[TheBTownBallers]

check us out

[janjua8]

hey i watched the video but only when u say "comment rate and subscribe" wts up with that it wont start from the beginig.

[chasecurtiss]

@janjua8 I am not sure what you mean... the video works fine for everyone else! Must be a Youtube issue!

[w1ngwangwong]

can ya dunk chase

[chasecurtiss]

@w1ngwangwong: Yes, I can dunk. Not like Taylor and Chris though! Those guys can get up!

[mambaized]

i tried to do the bridge and my hamstrings began to cramp almost immediately. what should i do to improve this?

[chasecurtiss]

@mambaized  You really need to focus on the flexibility of the hamstring. Try stretching the hamstring then doing the bridge again. The fact that the hamstring cramps shows that you are either very weak in that muscle or it is severely dehydrated. Drink more water and try the bridge again after stretching!

[exchamelot]

@chasecurtiss is there a right way dong the bridge?thanks chase..

[chasecurtiss]

@exchamelot yes, you can find detailed videos anywhere on the internet, but the important cues are dont over arch your back , squeeze your stomach muscles and focus on glute/butt squeeze when you raise the hips up.

[lov3R100]

Hi ! I wanted to ask some qouestions .

1) what exercises do you recommend for me in power gym to do?

I want to my legs be stronger and my arms strong for basketball.

or u can recommend something else to me?

Plz help !

[chasecurtiss]

@lov3R100 I recommend being a master at flexibility, stability and strength before you even think about Power exercises! Once you have worked for 6-10 weeks on these things you can move to power exercises. These will be detailed in the upcoming vertical leap video.

[mambaized]

by squeeze do u mean just tighten? what other exercies can i do for the same effect?

[chasecurtiss]

@mambaized Yes just tighten the muscle to engage it so it is ready to fire! The Vertical leap video will detail more exercises and will be out soon!

[lonewolfKY]

nice video.

[redeye780]

hello, shot science k im wondering if u will put up post moves deeply

[chasecurtiss]

@redeye780: We have a post moves downloadable that we are working on. It will be out in the near future.

[dannyych]

i heard tat working out on gym could make our vertical jump higher compared to normal exercise...

[chasecurtiss]

@dannyych The only thing different in the gym is weights and you dont need weights for the first 2-3 months of a training program or if you are younger than 15.

[joshsherrod1978]

very cool video

[chasecurtiss]

Thanks, Josh! Love your dunks ;)

[LiLBasketBaller]

hey i just wonder how i can get faster ???

[chasecurtiss]

Check out my video on dot drills to improve your quickness and we'll try and get some videos on improving your speed up soon!

[akiontube1]

Hey I am 5'7" I want to ask that can I touch the rim with this height ??

I know I need to increase my vertical leap but how much ??

Plz reply

[chasecurtiss]

It's impossible for me to know exactly how much you can increase your vertical jump because every person is different. There are guys that can get up and dunk at that height (they do have monster verticals though). So with a lot of hard work, you might just be one of them. Good luck!

[therockbottom2]

great video thanks!! :)

[chasecurtiss]

Thanks for watching!!

[elpelon3404]
