how often did you increase the weight for squat? I can do 275lbs 4-6x/set , so I'm thinking about raising it 295 next week, but I will be on vacation for two week, so I'm not sure if I should raise it 2 weeks later, I might get weaker in 2 weeks? and for the calf raises/lunges how much weight did you use? I lose flexibility when I do heavy on calfraises. I'm also not sure if that's better than lighter weight with more flexibility. btw, how's your progess?
@airbong23 increase the weight as often as you can! when your on vacation, do some single leg squats (pistol squats) to keep your strength up...unless you feel like your body just needs a break. then just take the time to rest. i've been battling some injuries the last few weeks so haven't been able to train (back and ankle). today is my first day back to training...so excited to get back on it.
I think 36-37" running vertical. I can usually hang on the rim on good days, but that's about it, and I think I jump lower when I try to dunk, but I think I will be able to throw it down once I reach 40" consistently. I have lower shoulder than other 5'11" probably close to 5'9" guy's shoulder height.
I uploaded another short footage, the camera angle was bad, but you can see that I'm jumping little higher than the other day. Still it wasn't my best jump, it was after 2 intense games (3vs3 semifinals, and I shot pretty good and long 3s to win :) ) but I think I got 2 inches higher than last time.
aboutt the core, I do about 2 min planks each sides 2-3sets, lower leg lifts (40-60times 3 sets sometimes with 20lbs ankle weights), and 30-40 crunches 3 sets, about twice a week.
thanks for watching. I do ATG squat with lower weights(<200lbs), and I try to go parallel with heavy weights. That squat video is from last year, and I think I already showed that squat video to Jacob, but he didn't comment much on it. I think I go lilttle lower now. I'm gonna play ball on Thursday, so I will try to take a footage after I'm warmed up. Not sure I will fully recover from yesterday's exercise tho.
@airbong23 yes, i think your technique is pretty good actually. would be interested in seeing your jumps when you are warmed up . i think on your running jump could be a bit more aggressive but could be due to not being warmed up. i didn't see any real obvious mistakes. are you doing much core work? on your squats, i would see about going lower...didn't look like you going to parallel and also try to explode up more quickly. i'd show those to jacob during next coaching session as well
thanks. yeah, last time I had a coaching session with Jacob was in April. I need some good feedbacks so I can gain few more inches soon. Ok, my video is uploaded.
yup, I do plyometrics. I follow most of the exercises from jumpmanual, and try to take 3-4 days rest with good protein shakes. I will post up my warm up std vert and running vert and send you the link soon. I think I have my old exercsise video that I showed to Jacob. Maybe you can give me some suggestions as well
@airbong23 cool. i'm certainly no expert but happy to watch and give you some feedback. i try to go to jacob's weekly coaching sessions as often as possible. they have been really helpful. i would definitely ask him for his advice if you haven't recently.
just came back from work out, my vertical wasn't good today, but I still tried to measure my standing vertical. I think I usually jump 2-3 more inches higher when I'm warmed up. I just watched all your videos and my standing vert is like your week6 vert, but I've been on this program for over a year now. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but on good days I can usually hang on the rim at ease. Just did 275lbsx5 squats today and rest of the workouts today. I wish my gains are consistent and quicker.
@airbong23 very normal to be able to jump higher on some days than others due to sleep, rest, soreness, how warmed up you are, adrenaline, etc. 275x5 is pretty dang good. how much do you weigh? i wish my gains were more consistent and quicker too! :-)
@The2cool2b I'd say its defiantly worth it! Check out my recent vid! It's of my friend, he's 6'1 and skinny. When he started he had a 25" vert and now he has a 32" vert and he's only 14!
Hey i am 14 years old skinny and 6ft 1" i can touch rim on some days idk if i should i get the jump manual Ive seen all of your videos and i think you improved alot but i dnt know if i can, i dnt have an access to a gym so all i can do is wrkout at home. Also i am a vegetarian and i saw in one of your comments you replied to someone tht you have to eat rite stuff like fish chicken and stuff and i cnt eat all that. I wnt to dunk so badly wat should i do??
@The2cool2b access to a gym is ideal but not required. i do most of the workouts at home. you do need to have protein after your workouts - but doesn't have to be from meat. i have green smoothies for breakfast every morning after my workouts and add sun warrior protein which is made from rice. bottom line - don't let access to a gym or dietary restrictions stop you. if you want to dunk, figure out a way to achieve your goal and go do it! good luck!
@kowy41 lol! i want new videos too! but waiting to post new vids when i have some new dunks!!! got to get 2 hand down! should be soon...i'm still posting info on my blog if you want to check it out. link is in video description.
@StevenDunks yep, still doing jump manual with a few modifications. for example, i'm lifting (squats, deadlifts, etc) 2 times per week instead of 1 time per week. also got my bodyfat tested and it's way too high, so being more disciplined on my diet. i've got to get a lot leaner!
@HyperSlam11 how much do you weigh? how much do you squat? how much do you deadlift? i would need to see a video of you jumping to give you suggestions.
@HyperSlam11 no way! been training harder than ever...will be posting new vids soon. just would like to have some new stuff. how is your training going?
I have a question. I'm 14 and 5'8" (I'm short), and I am about 2 inches from touching the rim with a running jump. I was wondering how many weeks of the jump manual it would take me to start grabbing rim, I have been thinking about buying it because I am going back to the states in March (currently overseas), and I would like to dunk or at least touch rim. Please reply, thanks!
@Random4UVids to grab the rim you probably need around 4 inches above the rim so that means you probably need to gain 6 inches on your vertical. impossible to tell you how long it will take to gain 6 inches. but it can be done through hard work in a relatively short period of time. i can tell you that it will happen much faster if you set some goals and consistently follow a program such as the jump manual.
hey keep up the good work! its great motivation im 5'10 im on my first week of the jump manual and i can hang with one hand hopefully dunking in about 6-7 weeks when do you test your vertical on the 7th day of each week? thanks great job

Just completed 2nd round of jump manual about a week ago only gained 2 inches max.
Touching the backboard of an official 10 ft
rim. Can grab 9 ft 8 rim
It sucks man, only an inch shorter than you and cant even TOUCH the rim.
Would it be possible for you to give me any tips on jumping form - as that may be the diagnosis.
Thanks
