  • @shotscience I'm 5'6", is there any hope of me dunking ever?

  • @rdrgz05 There is no way we can tell you will be able to dunk the basketball. It is possible if you commit yourself to Vertical Jump Program that you completely involve yourself in and work really hard. No guarantees, however!

  • I am 6 feet tall, and I can grab rim consistently. When I just off 1 foot, It feels weaker than when I just off 2 feet with momentum. Is there some way to improve single legged jumping?

  • @TheOneAndOnlyJZ We recommend our Vertical Jump Program t help you gain the inches you need. See it on our Shot Science Channel page.

  • 12 people cant jump higher and better haha

  • how many sets and reps on the power exercises?

  • @bigpopppaa92 All of this information is available in our Vertical Jump Handbook on our Channel page. Check it out. It is a three month program of daily exercises. Very complete!

  • I really want to jump higher and do these exercies, but i'm afraid of hurting my knees or damaging my kidneys by jumping too much, would that really happen?

  • Taller* i mean

  • Does those programs help me be tallet?

  • @Linhnguyen1995 They do not make you taller! They only make it possible for you to jump higher!

  • 12 people cant jump higher

  • @TheMjdancer1 Unfortunate for them!

  • @ShotScience are these two videos enough to gain enough power to do a vertical jump?

  • @pnwtree these two videos just show the demonstrations of the exercises we suggest. To really get the full benefit, you need to get our "Vertical Jump Handbook" (download link is in the description of the video) because it lays out 3 months of training.

  • i have school monday-friday so i cant really do the cardiovascular stuff...but if the weathers good I play ball after school, so does that make up ?

  • @flybOiizel NOPE!!!! Sorry!! No work, no gain!

  • i really want to dunk it but i dont want to buy the handbook.

  • @soldierlystew23 we made the handbook for people that really want to increase their vertical. We made it only $4.99 so that anyone could get it. That's three months of daily workouts for less than a sandwich at lunch would cost you. We worked really hard to make the handbook and these free demonstrations videos and any other program will cost you a lot more.

  • @soldierlystew23 Well, you probably don't really want to develop your vertical that badly then. It is almost free at $4.99! If you buy other programs they will charge you $30.00 and up for their program. Sorry!

  • let me get this straight, i can get all this information in your program, for $5 ? :O....im 6'3 16 years old and cant dunk :(..im hoiping your program will help me develop a strong lower body to do some good dunks like those guys in your video dunking(PART1 video)

  • @flybOiizel If you follow the program exactly as it is laid out in the outline you should be able to dunk the ball in three months or less. Hard work is the key here and not occasionally workout. You will also like how much stronger and explosive you will become as a result of this workout.

  • @ShotScience where can i get the foam from ? the thing you used to relax the muscle (calf glutes and thighs).

  • @flybOiizel usually sporting goods stores carry them or you can find them on Amazon

  • @DAmaN2Five we have no idea, but probably would be a major stretch. Do you have some more growing years ahead of you?

  • Im 6'3 and cant even touch rim woat should i try first being flexible or actually having strength? please help i should be dunking for my height!

  • @MrAlexisz23 All components are important. If you just focus on one area, you will likely not make much progress, or at least start to get near your potential. Check out our "Vertical Jump Handbook" (download link in the description of this video) for what we suggest as a vertical program. Good luck!

  • why no single leg squats on off days and is it ok to do the drills everyday?

  • @LilEpikBoii check out our "Vertical Jump Handbook" (download link is in the description of this video). It gives you a complete breakdown of what we suggest you do for a vertical program.

  • That helped me a lot in lay ups! Thanks!

  • @VIDEOgamerPRO504  You are very welcome. Glad we could offer some things that help your game.

  • I don't really feel my hamstrings work when I do squats, lunges, and even deadlifts, wat do?

  • @Roflbrowser Get our Vertical Jump Handbook and it will give you all the drills you need to improve your vertical and involve all of your leg muscles. It will explain the use of the foam roller and stretching for better explosion. You can find this on our You Tube channel.

  • Comment removed

  • @joellouis2 Please go to our You Tube Channel and find the Vertical Jump Handbook. It is a complete 12 week program with daily workouts. We have had many students report some really good progress.

  • Nice video , thanks.

  • @nostoll Thanks so much for your comment! we hope you will visit our other videos as well.

  • HI nice video I'd like to know once the 1st 3 months of the program(pre power) is done should i still do the 1st 3 types?

  • @aniwow47 we lay out the training in the handbook for the first three months

  • Hi, i'm italian while i did understand good the explanation, how many times to repeat the exercises?

  • @cameraman343 If you have our Vertical Jump Handbook it will give you all the information on this program for daily workouts for three months.

  • i just downloaded the handbook. what are the rests between sets?

  • @streetballa2 keep them as short as possible. About 1 minute max.

  • hey shotscience , if i have a basketball practice or a game sould i do this program after?

  • @passionguitar666 Do it after your practice or game because it should fatigue you pretty good if you are working hard.

  • Awesome videos, I'm 6'4 and the tallest on my under 16's team and they've all been pressuring me to learn to dunk, but the problem is I can't jump, lets hope this helps. :D

  • @ThatOneGuyNamedLouis If you work your butt off it will really help you. We believe that the whole idea of the dunk is over-rated in high School basketball. Focus on your skills as well as your jumping and let the vertical jump be the important thing in your rebounding and less on dunking.

  • @ShotScience

    Hey ShotScience,

    I´ve got a question concerning the workout.

    Why is it better to leave out the power aspect over the first months?

    Is this just better for the beginners, or also for the people that are a little bit more advanced?

    Because I think I already got the needed muscle mass...

    Thx 4 your help

  • @mxftw15 The muscle mass is not the thing that is going to make you a great jumper. It is all the things in the first few weeks that you want to ignore. You can ignore these, but do not expect any significant gains. Re recommend that you follow the program for best results.

  • @ThatOneGuyNamedLouis 6'4 and can't dunk?? i'm 6'1 and i can touch rim! if i were 6'4 i would be 360 dunking all day long ;D

  • @thomastum  well, it's important to understand that size alone "does not a Dunker Make!" He obviously does not have a big vertical. Let's not be too critical.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Chase. Im wondering... im 5'10 and dont have such high hops. I can probable get up 2-2.5 feet up in there. Do you think after this program... I will be able to Dunk.?? I mean not only that, but even for harder layups like reverse and all. How many feet you think my jump will increase??

    Thanks

    Oscar

  • @oscarloco2 Oscar, you probably need to get another 3-4 inches on your vertical, but you can easily do this with our Vertical Jump Program. It will be a lot of hard work, but you can do it! Find the link on our You Tube Channel and it is down-loadable.

  • @ShotScience  I already downloaded it!! LOL. so u think my vertical will increase by how much??

  • @oscarloco2 We have had players report 3-5" over the 12 weeks and one that said he reached 10".

  • @ShotScience That dosent sound like much. I dont think I can be able to dunk with 3-5 more inches

  • @oscarloco2 Remember this over 12 weeks and you can continue to use the same program for a year if you wanted to achieve something more. We are planning to have a new program that will follow up on the first 12 week program soon.

  • After the 3 months of your program are over, what else can be done to increase vertical?

  • @yepyepokay  Continue using the program!! It's not like it just ends there.

  • Hello!

    Is it true, that vertical jump exercises aren't good for your cartilage when you're growing?

    I'm 15 years old.

    Please answer.

  • @bineteran Probably not a real problem. What may be harder on them is to use heavy weights. At fifteen your body is still maturing, but most young players can do the Vertical Jump exercises without a problem.

  • @ShotScience OK, that's good.I have another question.

    During those 3 months of the program, can I also play normal basketball?

    I also have workouts in a basketball club.And during vacation in July and August I will also play a lot of basketball outside with my friends.

  • @bineteran The program will be tiring if you do it as directed by the Handbook, but you can still play. You will recover in a couple of hours and be ready to go.

  • @ShotScience I meant like first I do the Vertical jump program and then I go play basketball.

  • @bineteran  Not a problem! Yu will need to rest for a while and then go for it!

  • @bineteran Thats awesome! Thanks for the answers :)

  • @bineteran You are very welcome.

  • Subscribed

  • @AndrewNINJAHvids awesome to have you!! Thanks!

  • @AndrewNINJAHvids Thanks a ton!!!!!

  • årh derp, just read the comment below ;)

  • @JoenneGee haha! No worries ;-)

  • how tall are you mate ;) ?

  • thanks for the pro advice :D subscribed!

  • @bulbolator A special thanks top you for your sub!  Please stay tuned and "Spread the Word!"

  • if i use the jumpsoles when i do this work outs how soon do you think ill be able to dunk cause i can touch the rim already

  • @dmanblackman We must tell you that we do not believe in the Jump Soles!!!  Sorry!

  • @ShotScience

    Dont you use your cavs when your jumping?

  • @warfighter1988 You sure do use the calves (Gastocnemius muscles) in all jumping. The larger quads, hamstring and gluteus muscles are the major jump muscles.

  • @ShotScience how tall is the guy dunking?

  • @7lojames  That guy is 6'2".

  • Hey you said these strength exercises should balance out all the muscle strength and kick out any imbalances...

    But if you don't tell us how much of each one we should do, how are we suppose to keep all 3 muscles balanced?

    Doing same number of times per exercise isn't accurate, because these exercises may work at different effectiveness. For example, the glutes squeeze isn't that intense, so you may need to do more of that than the hamstring bridge etc.

    There must be a ratio or some sort right?

  • @itsMUSICY this is all included in our "Vertical Jump Handbook." These videos are just demonstrations.

  • Comment removed

  • Hi,

    Sorry if I'm being dense, but I've watched the videos and bought the manual and I can't find the "X" or Zig Zag drills anywhere. Hope you can point me in the right direction.

  • @Grapplebats If you go to the "Chase Curtiss" channel you will find his video on Dot Drills.

  • Hay if u only have two muscles in stead of three working would u still get some jump increase

  • @TheUsername330 Do not really understand what you are asking.  Try again.

  • I am 5'7 and I can touch the backboard how long will it take for me to to dunk using all your exercises daily

  • @chapiz35 You are asking a question that we have no answer for. There are so many things that can make it possible and so many that make it impossible. If you were to use the Vertical Jump Handbook and WORK HARD you will make nice gains. How much we cannot tell you.

  • Thanks for the great video! What gains should we expect to see after doing the first three pillars for 4 to 6 weeks?

  • @SuperBigone99 IF you were to work really hard and get all of the exercises called out in the Vertical Jump Handbook you could be around 2" and maybe a bit more.

  • This is great thanks guys. How much gain should we expect to see just based on doing the first three pillars of the program before power

  • how long should u do the first 3 before doing the power?

  • @YellowFlash5566 You really need to get the Vertical Jump Handbook that you can find on our You Tube channel. It is a complete three month program with reps and all the exercises. It is a must for your vertical.

  • @ShotScience I cant get the book cos you need a credit card or something right? Im only 14 and my parents never uses their credit card online unless if its for buying medicines lol

    I guess these videos will do!

  • @shotscience am I suppose to squeeze my glutes when Im trying to jump to the rim ?

  • @Jael1625 YUP!!! It is just another Large muscle set to develop for improving your explosion to the rim.

  • what are the dot drills?

  • @happyday1230 There are several videos on our channel that describe all the drills, especially the Dot Drills. Check it out!

  • Big thanks for your nice how to videos.. really helpful videos, thanks!

    I hope with this Workout i can dunk in the next couple month.

    by the way, 186cm are 6'0f right?

    regards from germany.

  • @liketheusp  we hope so too! Regards from the U.S.

  • why don't you guys put out a video on jumping technique...you can have all the strength in the world but if you don't know the proper technique you wont maximize your jump.

  • @MrWiz514 We will consider you suggestion. Thanks.

  • @ShotScience no problem!

  • @MrWiz514 GREAT!!!!!

  • How tall are you chase? 

  • @locksndoors Chase is 6'2".

  • Lol okay thankyou for your patience and tips!

  • @HardWorkPays0ff You are really welcome.

  • Chill man I didn't relize tht YT was the short for YouTube

  • @HardWorkPays0ff we weren't upset. Just saying that it is us on Youtube ;-)

  • *what channel that is

  • @HardWorkPays0ff this channel! ShotScience!

  • Chill I'm just curious and Idk what tht means

  • @ShotScience YT?

  • @HardWorkPays0ff  YES!!!!!

  • @ShotScience can u put other athletic videos up I need help finshing lay ups over big men whiteout getting blocked

  • @HardWorkPays0ff We already over 70 videos up and especially those that you mentioned. Just go find them on our YT channel.

  • coach is basketball good for foam rolling?beacause i dont have anything what it is like that in video

  • @BazhoFromTheHood Bazho, tennis balls, baseballs and even a short section of PVC pipe will do the trick for you.

  • @shotscience can u put up videos of other athletic drills also? And I have trouble getting blocked when I drive I need help finishing layups and when to use certain finshes

  • @shotscience also I thought it was fast twitch muscle that made someone jump high can that be improved as well?

  • @HardWorkPays0ff that's part of the equation, but many things go into your jumping ability.

  • @ShotScience What about quickness and speed and body control overall. And then why are there certain players in the NBA like russle Westbrook, lebron James and Derrick rose that are more athletic then everyone else?

  • @HardWorkPays0ff you can definitely develop all of those aspects of athleticism. Guys like the ones you mentioned were probably born with natural abilities, but we can assure you that even they work really hard on developing their physical abilities.

  • ok i bought VJP and i dont know how to do the "X", zig-zag with one and with two foot

  • @BazhoFromTheHood there's a link in the video description that will take you to videos for that

  • @ShotScience yea but people say there born with it that it's in your genes and u can only improve it a little

  • @HardWorkPays0ff The people saying these things are off base. It is definitely possible to improve the strength of your muscles and therefore develop more vertical leap!

  • Can you guys subscribe to my channel im new to youtube and im trying to do basketball videos .

  • @WATCHTHATBANANA sorry! We get lots of requests to sub. Best way to get lots of subscribers is to make great videos on a consistent basis. Good luck!

  • @ShotScience Thanks

  • Y do people say athleticism is natural and if u can't do something you never will be able to

  • @HardWorkPays0ff that sounds like people who never accomplish anything...

  • coach,.. do i do this everyday for how many mins??

  • @MrGalactoseify For all of the pertinent information you need to purchase the Vertical Jump Handbook on our YT Channel page for $4.99. It' gives you all of the needed information and exercises for each day.

  • hey coach i'm 5'8 and i'm turning thirteen would these exercises help me dunk since i'm still growing taller at the same time say if i grew to about 6'0 as i mature?

  • @jumpinghoarse999 We have no possible way to know if you will be able to dunk. Our program would Probably would help you dunk! Most of the possibilities are on you. You must follow the program and wrok really hard. Most of our players who get back to us say they have improved 3-5" in the three month program.

  • hey coach was wondering how long would it approximately take for a 5,8 guy to dunk and how often will he have to work out and for how long

  • @votix10 We have no idea how long it would take or if you even could do it. Using a good jump program is essential and then follow it to a tee and see what the results are. We cannot forecast this for you.

  • @ShotScience

    are you going to be releasing a tutorial for how to physically jump. I have been doing the training program for weeks and my vertical is increasing. However, I'm not sure how I should be jumping because I already have my basic foundation and I am ready to start jumping but how should I be jumping in the air. Is there going to be a tutorial ?

  • @Jael1625 Jael, there are several videos on our channel that are about the development of your vertical. They will answer many of your questions.

  • Thanks coach. I'm thinking about increasing the reps of the exercises to make it more harder. I'm not giving up. Thank you so much

  • Hey Coach, I've got a question, I'm 15 years old and I'm around 6'4-6'5, now, I'm 209lbs and I play Center, I can from time to time touch the rim, but barely. Should I still follow the program?

  • @MrMKFAN If you are asking about our Vertical Jump Program the answer is yes. And follow it exactly as this program was put together to help you reach your goals. It is difficult, but nothing comes to us that is good without a ton of work!!!!

  • Hey coach, I followed each exercises well. I amazingly increased vertical few inches after a month. I can grab the rim now with my both hands. But, when I try to dunk I get a rim stuffed. I'm confused and discourage. pls help me

  • @FrenzyLine Be patient! You will get there and begin dunking the ball. There are some techniques that you will learn to go along with the vertical that will make the dunking easier.

  • will jogging and calf raises help me jump higher?

  • @CopEmRetros Possibly a tiny bit!!!!!!

  • Yuu are right! No other jump training programs focus on a full foundation nor focus on activation. Theres activation then warm-ups then yuur workout.

  • @Jordan5583 we really feel that this program will help anyone who wants to put out the effort to develop their vertical. The key is to get the Vertical Jump Handbook as your guide. Find it on our Channel page.

  • I just don't get it I have been strength training my quads and trying to jump higher because im plenty tall...... I just can't seem to get any higher off the ground no matter how hard I try.. ..... any advice shot science?

  • @austinandersonkid Get our Vertical JUmp Program and you will FLY!

  • when i did the glute bridge excersize my muscles began to cramp is this normal?

  • @kdxj5 That's normal! Make sure to foam roll the glutes to help relax the muscle tissue.

  • Thank you guys

  • @mmi5572

    you are very welcome.

  • this thing works perfect.!!!

  • @Gunso5 Yup! It does! It does take a lot of hard work, but the results are there!

  • A helpful and informative vid. Although I'm unsure on how to structure workouts with how to order the exercises. Like do you do 3 weeks of mobility, strength and stability before starting power exercises.

  • @Hymenoptera117 Go to our YT channel and you will find a complete 12 week program available. Check it out as it will answer you questions.

  • The guy showing how to lung doesn't show a great example of good form in either close of wide stance. He dosen't have his back straight and you can tell that a lot of the pressure that he is applying is being transfered to his knees. That is a quick way to screw your knees up. Lungs are a very dangerous exercise if not done properly.

  • I am a trainer, and you are giving a very good example not only how to activate the glutes and hams, but also the way they should be trained in the gym. I rarely see trainers teach this method of training in most of the gyms that I've been to. Also, the people you have showing the actually movement use very good form. I didn't hear the importance of form expressed, but it was definitely show. I do have one gripe though. I don't think that lunges should be done in the in close fashion. Great Vid!

  • @JaPhA12 thanks! Always a different opinion to make us think! Thanks.

  • @ryanchang10208 The football would probably work fine or use a tennis ball. It varies with each person based on how hard you work. We have found that most player who report to us that 3-6" seems to be the range. One player reported 10", but there is no way we can predict how much you will gain.

  • I know it helps but I need something specially for speed. I'm probably going to buy the jump handbook but I need more speed.

  • @bcb243 Speed and acceleration are direct result of added leg and abdominal strength. Check out Chase's videos for two videos on this topic.

  • Hey sorry for all of the questions but you guys are the only ones who seem to help! Anyways what can I do specifically for speed?

  • @bcb243 Surprisingly, our Vertical Jump Program is awesome when it comes to working on speed and acceleration. Check it out. YT Channel Vertical JUmp Handbook.
