@FieldBoy111 I have your answer. copyright laws result in the soundtrack being removed from a lot of videos. youtubers can replace it with one of the songs that is licensed by youtube, but all those songs are just awful. this is pretty much the best option, and in my case I was actually paid by the record label to use it
HI I am in training, and I have started working nightshifts, my energy levels and performance have dropped. I know you have experience with this. Any advice?
@clarkdef wish I did, but I had no success when I worked nights, so I don't know what I would advise. One idea would be doing 6 weeks of mostly explosive training and then taking 3 weeks off. Hopefully you could still improve your rate of force development with that approach. But I just don't know know if gaining strength is likely at all
would you say cardio, along with jump training, would be detrimental towards my results? I'm planning on doing all my strength/plyos in the morning with regular cardio at night and either regular cardio or HIIT on the off days. thoughts?
Those are some beneficial exercises when it come to increasing your vertical jump. Especially the weight lifting. Take a look at my channel to see more weight lifting exercises that will increase your vertical jump.
no offense but... i was expecting the guy to dunk. when i was third year high school '92 i could touch the rim i was a member of our soccer varsity from 1st to 3rd year high school but I played basketball most of the time and was hit by the 'jordan' fever-- i wanted to dunk. I was 5-5 when I could hang on the rim but not dunk. i didn't have all the trainings of the guy in the video. all i did was jog 10 rounds in the track and field oval every saturday .. do stretching exercises. jump rope.
@jumptrainee1 wow im pretty behind. I never really worked on increasing my vertical before. Do you have any suggestions at to where i should start? I'm about 5'7. Although I'm short, i enjoy fighting for rebounds so i am looking to jump higher. Part of the reason i enjoy fighting for rebounds is because i have a wide body. Currently 200lbs. I see the guy on this vid is 130 WOW. Super light. Looking to be more explosive. Any advice would help. Thanks again!
@mikesports256 1-leg squats 1-leg stiff-leg deadlift are strength exercises that can be done with no equipment. also a lot of plyos require nothing. check my videos
he did all those things but he cant still touch the rim lol..im 5'5 6'11 standing reach and i can grab the rim and almost dunking without doing those things
@Clifton100 they cant accept the reality that white man cant jump haha..ONLY SOME OF THEM lol....well my point is u dont have to do all those things to jump higher
"SupremeVerticalJump,YouTube Everyone was amazed at the incredible leaping ability and agility! UltraVerticalJump,YouTube, 4 feet vertical! Really soon I'll be eye level with the rim! SuperVerticalJump,YouTube,Amazing!4 feet vertical elevation, my head almost touches the Rim & By itself the video cam is magically following the incredible vertical movements! SuperNaturalJump2012, YouTube, Over 5 foot vertical! My Head by a 12&1/2 foot ceiling! Super Magical Elevation!
i wanna ask you something...im doing squats with 50 pound on my shoulder...i do atleast 300...100 each 3 repeatition...ive been doing this for two days now...how long can i see results?
I'm 6'2 and i weigh 170 and i can hang on the rim with two hands. I have dunked it. I just can't do it consistenly. I can only do it i guess when i get an adrenaline rush.
@jumptrainee1 i love bothering you. another question. i dont think ur site said. when lifting deadlift or squat... do u do 5 sets of 5? and no more? for the fact of fast twitch muscle fibers... ? so like doing squats like crazy to failure wont help with my vertical at all? : )
@dgarver1992 there's a thousand different strength training strategies. 4x10, 5x5, 10x3, pyramid, max effort, dynamic effort, grease the groove, the list goes on and on. Bottom line, if something makes you stronger it will help your vertical in the long run.
@jumptrainee1 alright thanks! better to hear it from you then trust internet sites. so 2 more questions... does running a mile or 2 for cardio every week hurt ur vertical? and whens the best time to static stretch after a workout when ur sore from DOMS? ill keep u updated with my gains in like a month! see how good i am at training myself.
@jumptrainee1 well put brotha...bottom line is drive those lower body core lift numbers(eg squat), throw in plyos, strengthen the core glutes and hamstrings just for stability
@MultiGrateful your kidding me right?im like 58 or 9 and im like 1 inch away from touching the basket....the problem is that any execise is not working to improve my vertical lip i just hope this one works
@MultiGrateful you should invest your time in the gym (if u do lift that is) on three major forms of lifting, 1) squats: this is known as the king of lifting because it will seriously work out a lot of major muscle groups, also it's really good for vertical jumps. 2)deadlifts: this will strengthen your thigh muscles give you that good support when you do squats. 3) cleans: these will work out your arms and legs, your arms are also used for vertical jumps so you would need that kind of strength
hey im 13 and 5'6 about 135 lbs and i cn dunk on 9ft but i get rim stuffed on 9 and a hlf..i can also get my whole palm on the backboard on a 10 ft hoop..wht should i do to increase my vertical ??
@ka100ak you can increase your vertical instantly like 3-6 inches. Check out adam linkenauger's jump technique tips, they really help. And long term doing a lot of what this kid is doing works great i.e. improving your squat, deadlift, clean and snatch. Combining weight training with plyometrics properly will help you increase your vertical dramatically. Focus on strength, movement efficiency, flexibility and technique
@victorNBA36 If you are young it will probably stunt your growth. Meaning you will not grow as much. If you are older it will not make you short and will probably have no effect.
@aznman240 idk but in my powerlifting class we did the BFS program and we remaxed every 4th week...we would do 3x10 the first week 3x5 the second and 3x3 the third and just repeated that....in the first semester i went from a 185 max to a 235 max
if you are still growing and your bones are still stretching it can because your body begins to focus on rebuilding those muscles you work out more than building your bone structure.
i waited till i was pretty much done growing to really start hitting the weights
man i wish i had that kind of equipment lol i dont even have the jump manual i just put a back pack with books in it and to heel lifts on the back poarch lol how ghetto is that but great job man
all leg presses do is strengthen your quads. It's important to have balanced legs (ham & quad), but you won't improve your vertical leap what so ever doing heavy weight. Do behind that back squats and make sure ur legs are at least parallel to the ground. Really emphasize exploding up in all drills/exercises, push your self harder everyday, and you'll most certainly see results.
@dgarver1992 chris got a 40-inch vert but he never dunked. still hoping it happens eventually. leg press is really just a quad exercise. It will make your quads stronger, but as far as all around strengthening it's pretty worthless
@dgarver1992 JUST all about? that's a lot of stuff to be JUST all about. Stretching is another key component, and I like strength/flexibility hybrid exercises like overhead squats. then there's minor stuff like abdominal work, lower leg training, proper warmup, etc...
@mrlakayna thanks for all the encouraging comments. 2 or 3 workouts a week is what I use and recommend. If it's 3 per week, one of the workouts will be a little easier
It's smart, it's very effective. It will allow you to run faster, jump higher and kick farther.
But be very careful with this, for it is a dangerous type of exercise for your joints. Especially your knees. Make sure to follow a specific training program authorized by a professional heath specialist.
I'm a Punter so I know what I'm talking about. I tried doing plyometrics by my own without any guidance and I almost busted my knee. Fortunatly all is well now :)
@Justinle97 try doing basic, elementary explosive movements involving your thighs and legs.
For example, from a standing position, try to do fast-paced, knee movements. As if you were giving someone the concussion of their life.
That is a pretty harmless plyometric exercise. But make sure that you don't overdo it and don't do plyometrics more than 2 times a week. Also, do seperate workouts.
Eventually you will feel your legs lighter, like they have wings and that will greatly affect punting
let me think what is a good way to jump higher..... o yeah just jump lol.... you want a higher bench then bench you want more money work more lol.... you want to dunk keep trying to dunk bam i did all that for free =]
dude are yu serious only 28 inches with no training???? that sucks, i have a vertical of 32 inches with no training all god given and thats when i was last year. im 17 years old, hispanic, weight is 134 pounds, and lately ive been doing squat jumps with a squat bar with 45 pounds on each side, and im doing 3 sets 20. with 100 crunches. my vertical is now 38 to 39 inches depending on the streching. and ive only been doing this for 3 weeks (weekends off). all that training isnt needed seriously.
Ok thnx because I couldn't find any info on that

leg press is good for your hops, so are squats, but mostly calf raises
most importantly if you wanna dunk, work your fucking ass off, even jordan worked on his hops

jumptrainee1 ! are you gonna get a vid up of chris dunking? and why does doing leg press with heavy weights not make you stronger ?
dgarver1992 9 months ago
@dgarver1992 chris got a 40-inch vert but he never dunked. still hoping it happens eventually. leg press is really just a quad exercise. It will make your quads stronger, but as far as all around strengthening it's pretty worthless

@jumptrainee1 how tall is he? and so for improving vertical and strength ur just all about compound lifts and olympic style lifts and plyometrics?
dgarver1992 9 months ago
@dgarver1992 JUST all about? that's a lot of stuff to be JUST all about. Stretching is another key component, and I like strength/flexibility hybrid exercises like overhead squats. then there's minor stuff like abdominal work, lower leg training, proper warmup, etc...

@mrlakayna thanks for all the encouraging comments. 2 or 3 workouts a week is what I use and recommend. If it's 3 per week, one of the workouts will be a little easier

Jump Manual would do wonders for this guy if he is really dedicated to gaining inches on his vert.

@mapleasura he was 19 and full grown before starting, but weight training doesn't stunt growth anyway. I have a page on my site about that

has anyone heard fo teh BOINGVERT program??? it's suppose to be nasty!!!

This is called Plyometrics.
It's smart, it's very effective. It will allow you to run faster, jump higher and kick farther.
But be very careful with this, for it is a dangerous type of exercise for your joints. Especially your knees. Make sure to follow a specific training program authorized by a professional heath specialist.
I'm a Punter so I know what I'm talking about. I tried doing plyometrics by my own without any guidance and I almost busted my knee. Fortunatly all is well now :)

@mtavares92 What type of Plyometrics help with punting?
Justinle97 9 months ago
@Justinle97 try doing basic, elementary explosive movements involving your thighs and legs.
For example, from a standing position, try to do fast-paced, knee movements. As if you were giving someone the concussion of their life.
That is a pretty harmless plyometric exercise. But make sure that you don't overdo it and don't do plyometrics more than 2 times a week. Also, do seperate workouts.
Eventually you will feel your legs lighter, like they have wings and that will greatly affect punting
