Dunk mix in Ethiopia... rim damage - 40 inch vert 10 ft

[mikehernandez25]

have you always jumped high or did this happen after training?

[freejumptraining]

@mikehernandez25 after training... I trained... jumped higher than this, got into bodybuilding for a stint... then trained again and here I am... about 2 inches away from my best.

[hughski0000]

I bet if he was black he probably be better than that..

[freejumptraining]

@hughski0000 lol...

[oneonly606]

i notice on your jumping form u take kind of a slightly longer stride before u initiate your 2 foot plant does that help u to jump off of 2 feet with more speed?

[freejumptraining]

@oneonly606 yes it does.

[oneonly606]

@freejumptraining thanks for the reply in a timely manner i will try to implement this into my 2 foot approach i use to take small steps then an exaggerated the first to last followed by the other leg



[alejandrothefader]

@freejumptraining how tall are you man??

[freejumptraining]

@alejandrothefader 6'3 and some change.

[quyenntran]

haha that jump looked so much cooler in reverse!

[freejumptraining]

@quyenntran hehe, thanks...

[MATT111MARTIN]

best to dunk out doors cus u can all you want but those rims mess up your hands

[freejumptraining]

@MATT111MARTIN very true...

[JackoxelMAtrixo007]

hey Mr.hiller whats better for me to jump off one leg or two?

[freejumptraining]

@JackoxelMAtrixo007 both can be great.

[ArtjomGlad]

Rim damage sounds like a gay porno.

[freejumptraining]

@ArtjomGlad Probably only a select demographic that makes that association.

[ArtjomGlad]

@freejumptraining Nothing wrong with it sounding like a gay porno. I can also bet my ass of that, somwhere, there is a gay porno, or porno, witht that name.

[kdeepSurma]

Hi Mr. Hiller, I recently came across another vertical program by Kelly Baggett. Was wondering whose is better. Also how long is your full program to reach one's potential vertical? Want to compare the two programs.

[freejumptraining]

@kdeepSurma my reply would surely be biased ;)

[NewYorkKnicksChannel]

I'm 5'10, 16 years old and i can grab the rim with one hand without any training. I'm just wondering is it really possible for me to ever dunk? Please reply!!!!

[Mrdiver8]

well...at the begining it was 10ft but after some dunks...don't think so xD

[freejumptraining]

@Mrdiver8 haha, that's exactly what happened. the rim started bending a bit, not a ton, but a bit. The other jumps though was before I started dunking at it was straight (other video)

[FLA3H91]

weight : that's personal lol ........btw man i don't think rim is 10 but too close ....MAJOR HOPS i gotta say , props

[freejumptraining]

@FLA3H91 word thanks man. MEasured it with a tape measure.

[jump12man]

It's so pathetic when people are so jealous or mad too comment and call it fake the man got ups instead of sitting and whining all day go out and do work

[freejumptraining]

@jump12man no breh... weak sauce... 315 lbs.

[Jumping871]

whats your standing reach?

[SuperMusclemaniac]

Now try dunking on a regulated rim height, your not foolin anyone dumb ass.

[freejumptraining]

@SuperMusclemaniac measured with a measruing tape... 10ft mang.

[freejumptraining]

@SuperMusclemaniac stop the video at 1:42-43 and you can see me standing diretly under it. I'm 6'3-4

[oneonly606]

@SuperMusclemaniac he jumps that high that u think its a low rim?

[jordanthetruth24]

My weight: thats personal....lol

[freejumptraining]

@jordanthetruth24 haha :)

[SignupAdvisor]

What's your height man?

[inmymind801]

very impressive jacob. appears that you are a strength dominant jumper. how come theres no uni lateral jumps?

[freejumptraining]

@inmymind801 just didn't do any... maybe next time :)

[HLanderos23]

You Need The OFfical Rims Cuz Dat Sucks Not Aloud To Dunk Hahha

[TheJwalk1234]

Nice dunks but that rim looks so weak

[logman135]

How much can you squat? you know just normal squat with athletic stance.

[freejumptraining]

@logman315

[logman135]

@freejumptraining What?

[freejumptraining]

@logman135 about 315 at the time... lot of fron tsquat going on.

[iHazStorKuk]

@freejumptraining 315 kg?

[Yiannis2313]

Does anybody still think that Jacob Hiller is all talks?

[freejumptraining]

@Yiannis2313 I still think he talks too much ;)

[11bknapp]

Dang man those were nice.

[k6mi]

Man when u try to jump max without the ball it seems like u jump higher reverse

[freejumptraining]

@k6mi lol

[jmaris4eva]

What is your max squat and deadlift right now?

[freejumptraining]

@jmaris4eva I can deadlift ~520 what type of squat?

[tombw]

@freejumptraining back squat

[nikpro27]

? for ya, i have a very slow computer that wolnt allow me to download files, would u be able to make a youtube video on ur dunk training? Thanks- Nik

[tutunaru]

What is your reach because it doesnt look that high?

[freejumptraining]

@tutunaru it's around 8 foot... pretty short... i have shorter arms and a long neck so my reach is a bit low.

[tutunaru]

@freejumptraining we have the same reach and I an 6 feet 2, the difference is the mad vert you have.

[Cloud3205]

what song is this man? Your dunks make me feel like I am not a man.

[freejumptraining]

@Cloud3205 some song I bought from sony... lol, thanks

[Cloud3205]

@freejumptraining

it wasn't necessarily meant as a compliment, I think I need to see a psychiatrist about it, hahaha

[freejumptraining]

@Cloud3205 lol - no worries everyones got issues... I think maybe I can do a dunk mix that can be therapuetic as well.

[robiitis]

Jump - 8 Dunks - 7

[freejumptraining]

@robiitis Jump 7.5 0 Dunks 6.3... These are not neat dunks at all..

[brent6corn]

you need a better camera or something for slo mo shots

[freejumptraining]

@brent6corn yeah this is from the front facing vamera on itunes, but I'm doing some research on awesome slow mo

[chrapladm]

Jacob.......Where is the best place to send videos to for you to look/critique jumping approach?

Or should I just upload to youtube? I have been on the forum quite a bit but haven't gotten any replies from any of my threads. SO just wondering if there was a better place.

[freejumptraining]

@chrapladm Forum is for user interaction... coachins sessions are with me.

[Zaizas]

if i could jump as high for just one day...

[Mizzles240]

can someone explain to me why i gained 5 inches from the first workout please? its freaking me out

[fedec51]

0:25 You're fucking exploding off the ground man! I have a question though do I need to perform the almost full circle you do with your arms across the body or does it have to be a movement that goes simply upwards?

[freejumptraining]

@fedec51 more ROM is going to generate more velocity and upward momentum.

[fedec51]

@freejumptraining Thanks Jacob, I'll try it next time, BTW, nice video, must feel nice to shut up all the doubters...

[freejumptraining]

@freejumptraining yeah... it's my own fault :) but it's nice...

[stevelau1922]

@fedec51

I noticed the full arm swing too. I'm able to dunk off a raw vertical, but only get like 1-2 inches more with a running start so I guess throwing arms back might give me some added inches right away.

[fedec51]

@stevelau1922 It aint gonna give it to you right away, you gotta find your rhythm and feel confortable with it first, it's not like you throw your arms around like a monkey and all of a sudden you're jumping 10 more inches.

[myjumpmanual]

awesome Jacob! Keep the videos and dunks coming!

[2upack33]

yoo i been dyin to see you dunk

[chrapladm]

I have been doing your JM for about 3 weeks now I noticed a 2" increase the first week but the rest is slowly coming along. I am only in the 3rd week of training. I wonder though is getting higher have alot more to do with approach than just strength?

[freejumptraining]

@chrapladm Defintely has more to do with it than just strength.

[caveman15100]

in australia if u dunk as soon as the spring action engages you get a technical foul i hate it!!

[bcx27]

how tall r u? are you left handed? its nice to see a trainer that actually has nasty hoops

[freejumptraining]

@bcx27 6'3.5 with Kobes on. Not left handed.

[bcx27]

@freejumptraining i notice u plant ur left then right then jump, most right handed people plant right then left, is there any reason for that?

[Amarpreet23]

i know this question is random but how many inches can I gain in a month using the Jump Manual? I am 5'11" and turning 19, and weigh 165

[freejumptraining]

@Amarpreet23 Good question... too big to answer here. If you don't mind going here: freeverticaljumptraining DIZOT com and click on the ASK A QUESTION link... then ask it there. You can subscribe to the answers so you know when I answer it. Thanks!

[VerticalJumping]

love the dunk mix Jacob. Great stuff. Poor Andrew's backside

[adarqui]

@VerticalJumping gaped & bleeding.

[VerticalJumping]

@adarqui in your defence and to your credit Andrew you are definitely giving Jacob props for his hops. You and I know don't agree with him about a few things but there is no arguing JH is a very decent guy who has some crazy hops. I wouldn't mind seeing him and Link in a dunk contest actually.

[freejumptraining]

@VerticalJumping Thanks Jack... channel looking nice BTW

[paki123]

It's nice to see you do what you preach!

[freejumptraining]

@paki123 right on :)

[adarqui]

my anus is bleeding, stop posting videos bro.....

some nasty dunks in there, you are looking very light on your feet and in the air, looks really athletic.

good shit man, love that first dunk on the vid, really really nasty.

[freejumptraining]

@adarqui hahaha... thanks man.  August bro... the month of rim head injuries.

[adarqui]

@freejumptraining haha, that's definitely the mission.. looking forward to some head lacerations around august, or anytime in the future.. seems like you'll have to be careful about poking one of your eyes out, stay safe. lmao

peace

[freejumptraining]

@adarqui you know a head laceration dunk vid would go crazy viral... or eye gouge dunk mix.

[subxpert786]

when you did that thing in reverse, that was awesomeee, but your'e so modest to admit it, good work jacob

[freejumptraining]

@subxpert786 thanks man!

[DawgFL]

buy one for them then they cant complain lol
