[mistahJung]

Does anybody else think those squats look like they could be bad for your knees?

[Lo0o0nG]

@mistahJung since it's just with a ball it should be okay. if it was with heavy weights you don't want your knees to pass your toes.

[xHostile818x]

[JeffzsProductions]

[WheresObama]

I have a bad knee that prevents me from squatting that low on the 5-5-5 squats, are there any other exercises that can replace that? I will indeed run through the others; does anyone know what pound ball he is using?

[grymmatarmar]

very good training.

I used 2, 2kilos weigths holding one in each hand and did this, i really felt it was hard!

[Whatshouldmyuserbe]

Does power clean help vert?

[SFO14]

@Whatshouldmyuserbe it can, if you do them properly

[MrHeadwolf]

@Whatshouldmyuserbe Yes, anything that works the muscles in your posterior chain, will help your vert. I wouldn't  say it's the best way to help your vert, but it does help

[dbrageagainst2]

just squat to jump higher, use decent weight.

[23willbb]

check out my vertical workout, it will leave you hurting baddd! u can do it at home

[VerticalJumpKing]

There are alot of cool plyometric exercises to do to increase your vertical jump. Some of these I wouldn't agree that they help, but there are some real good ones. I do a lot of unique stuff to increase and maintain myself and my clients vertical jumps.

[alejandrothefader]

@VerticalJumpKing to mantain vert you just jump in the sport you practice man.... the problem is getting a vert that deserves being mantained :P!

[spiralmetal]

IProbably just some common sense exercises are enough. But if you prefer using a medicine ball.....

[Tiagor0drigues]

first exercise is plain stupid.

[ballwizard6]

@Tiagor0drigues its in the vertical jump program acually. But i agree i hate doing it

[blzfir21]

[jannik1409]

what is the name of this song at 6 seconds?

[aHaronMontes]

@jannik1409 i just know its a immortal technique song but cant remeber the title

[xxNtGxx]

@aHaronMontes Its called "Crossing The Boundary"

[yungS12]

this isnt all that good when you jump yo feet should point down not stay flat

[woopla]

hi guys, may i know, if your thighs are already quite big, as in semi muscles and semi fats, will doing workouts for thighs slim them down or make it even bigger? Please answer me, thanks =)

[TMVNDD]

@woopla Your thighs will increase in size, however if you jump rope a lot, do sprints or cardio, you will also lose the fat, so that way your thighs will look better and perform better :)

[spiritring]

@TMVNDD cardio is bullshit. If you wanna lose fat, just squat heavy a lot , work out a lot etc. Highest is 10 rep.. fuck cardio!

[TMVNDD]

@spiritring cardio is the only alternative for people who don't practise other sports.. :p

[seros2010]

Hi, SuperJump2010, on YouTube, Im jumping 4 & 1/2 feet in the air. The video is amazing

[jannik1409]

what is the name of this song ???

[belingafred]

jayz ft ja rule: gangsta shit, in DJ clue the professional vol1 1999 i was a youngster enjoy andf jump higher

[speedo713]

this kind of exercises fucks up your knees!:|

[20musicfreak20]

any vertical exercise or jumping in general fucks up ur knees. u gotta ice em and make em stronger

[seros2010]

Hi, Check out, SuperJump2010, video,

I am 5-9 tall, jumping 4 and a half feet in the air, it is very funny

[destine4hope]

I wonder what this guy's vertical is.

16 in.

Kidding kidding!

[pumaguy21]

Plyometrics can be really bad for your knees make sure when your done your work out you ice your knees. Most videos of this nature forget to mention the steps you need to take after your workout. No point in setting yourself back with an injury!

[kaiserine]

How to take care of knee? Can share?

[pumaguy21]

takeing care of your knees is pretty easy... after your workouts make sure you elivate and ice your knees.. 15min on 15 off.. if ur feeling discomfort then take it easy for a couple days. I realise ur workin out often to increase ur verticle but a few days off wont kill you. its better to take a few days off then to severly injure your knee and lose all that u worked hard for

[thefuture067]

dawg... seriosly tho , it doesnt matter what leg exercises your doing ,if your getting stronger in the lower body areas then youll be able to jump , ask for the knee injury , dawg .. just do leg curls or any other exercises that strengthen the hamstrings and you wont get injuryed i promise . injurys for the happen because becasue there hamstrings are too week in comparison to there qauds

[aliallamiK]

i did the 5-5-5 think and my knees is killing me :S is that a big problem??

[Ammaculate44]

Nope, means you did good. Just stretch before and after workout, and if that's not enough, Epsom Salt is the best natural muscle-relaxer you can find in this world.

[NewWorldSavior]

depends on how old you are... if your under 18 then I really suggest you hold off on serious pylometrics. the 555 is more body weight but if its giving you problems I would stop.

[buildmusclequickly]

Thanks for the information!!I love your video!!! Its a great learning I received from you!To watch video about Vertical Jump Training System just enter my channel and watch videos!!

[jannik1409]

what is the name of this song????

[fadetodeeppurple]

obnoxious - immortal technique, but this is just the instrumental

[KingDMB12]

im 5'10 and 13 and im gettin rim how much more inchs i need to dunk?

[Baconbits32]

Get your hand a full 8 inches over and you beable to dunk 1 handed.

[boggy257]

@kingdmb12 you will need about 5 more inches to make it a real dunk but you can let go before putting your hand on the rim at about 3 inches

[cbhadha]

can any of you guys commenting actually dunk? Probably not and that medicine ball thing may increase his agility a bit but its not gonna make him dunk either

This wont do anything major unless it complements squats and calf raises

[69amdirk69]

he was squating

[DrEdwards4]

for the record yes I can jump

[Deathrowhiphop]

Does jumping rope work????

[atinnovate1]

google Katapult Training Shoes

[gmckan33]

Heavy squats make you stronger I agree, but stronger doesn't always mean you will be more explosive. Plyometrics are better, in my opinion. Plus, if you don't have it in you genetically, there is a limit to how much you can increase your verticle. If heavy squatting works for you cool, keep doing them. If they don't work, add plyo's and see what happens.

[richstr]

what he is doing is right, he useing explosive movements while working out, that how to improve explosive movement, seme type of why rugby and rowers( ithink rowers not too sure) would work out, they'd do stuff like throwing he barbell into the air wen doing bench presses, it all works on the explosive movement and that what this guy is doing will defernetly improve his jumping height. :) no offence lol

[gmckan33]

I agree, plyo's are great. I was commenting on someone else's remarks that squats are the best exercise. It's been my experience that plyometric workouts will improve your verticle over just doing squats. I think the video is good and there are a ton of other plyometric type workouts to do.

[richstr]

ok cool mate

i wasn't questioning what u sed, just adding to it :)

[montasmob69]

I disagree. Power and plyometrics are about how quickly you can use your muscles. If you have more muscle, then the potential increase is greater. Generally, an athlete needs to at least squat 1.5x his body weight to have a good vertical (30 inch) and 2x his body weight to have an elite vertical(40 inch). Usain Bolts for example, can squat over 450 lb.

[gmckan33]

Yeah, squats do help, but I think plyo's teach you how to be explosive. You have to be explosive when jumping or sprinting. Bolt squats 450, but I garauntee he is doing some type of plyo workout as well. I just think for best results, you have to incorporate the two. I could play with bolts max all day, probably rep out about 20 easily, but could rarely dunk and definitely couldn't run a 4 anything 40 LOL! So, genetics play an important part too. I just think you need more than just squats.

[BbaLLBoy727]

these are gay!!!

[ooblasnoobladoobla]

at 0:38 when he starts to lean I was like oh shit he gona break his jaw

[Keyboardbeatz]

Heavy barbell squats over that bullshit.

That workout isn't very effect.

[xbx360lver]

@Keyboardbeatz How the fuck did this answer get 3 thumbs down?

Are you people fucking retarded? Heavy squats are the BEST leg workout known to man, now stfu and do them.

[Keyboardbeatz]

These guys are just ignorant. Barbell squats 3-6 reps and some box jumps is the best way to increase your vertical jump IMO.

[billysue2]

at some stage max strength fails to further your vertical,thats when lighter more explosive methods work better.The very best jumpers dont have huge squats.

[lethalzaza]

@xbx360lver its bad for your knees. really bad for your knees... and also can do damage to your back if you accidentally come up or go down awkwardly.. just a little slip and your back is done. they are good but they will mess up your knees over time..

[spiritring]

@lethalzaza

Erroneous! Fulls squat is healthy. Also research all your shit first. Add heavy weights rather than a puny ball if you're not doing plyometrics. Plyometrics is just for quicky warm up or speed in reactive strength. It will not get you far in leaping without lifting. Lifting involves the prime muscles in jump!

[EdBlackmail]

@xbx360lver

The best way to jump higher is to practice jumping higher.

[SFO14]

@xbx360lver what about heavy deadlifts?

[eMTycominup]

haha i can see me throwing it up and tripping and having the ball land on me and kill me.

[EagleDrumma]

@eMTycominup LOL

[xklevin1]

@eMTycominup hahahahahahah yo u had me buggging

[rae4sasuke]

@eMTycominup LMAO



[lightsw0rd]

@eMTycominup Me 2 ... Too dangerous for us :P

[Schroeder3422111]

Is this at University of Platteville in Wisconsin

[sandiegotos]

.........sometimes you will be injured - it's necessary , your mind slowly , step by step , will be activation more and more of your muscles , an obstacle must be from a concrete , no mattress and so on , but a painful a concrete !

good luck - its work

[sandiegotos]

dont forget :find a concrete's an obstacle,tall obstacle , take off , and jump on it ;

an obstacle must be tall - you must to feel a fear

, then you activation more muscle's fibers , with a fear's help ! if you active more muscle's fibers , you will use more of your muscles later , it's very important , b/c we use only a small part of our possibility, you must feel fear ........

[gianosorio]

nice work, but i need to know how much does the medicine ball weights, please answer me

[TheAtomicGod]

i use 6kg

[gianosorio]

thanks

[bwb92]

I've always been in great shape and my legs have always been strong but this summer I used Strength shoes and my vertical went up 5 inches

[Herzyelke95]

Well i'm a basketball player and with my experience i agree with the other u need to ge explosive when u go up, because is when u get the power to jump if u go down your working for nothing. well i'm 168cm i'm 14 years old i'm guard on my team i need some advices, and a big train to dunck... i can only pull the net xD

[TheAtomicGod]

Your pretty average for your height but I know many people in grade 9 who can dunk. First find out your flexibility, strength, and your vert. I'm also 14 and I have bad flexibility so I can't go all the way down when doing squats. I suggest you do lateral cone hops 40 a day maybe split into 2 times and do as many squats as you can in perfect form. If you want faster results then exercise your toes and form a 6 pack.

[SillyDuck2]

is it necessary to do the reg squats and up slow quick downs? can you do lets say like 5-10 reg squats and the rest of your squats will be like 30 jumping squats? and do you do these exercises daily or every other day?

[xxlhcoo122]

that would fuck up your back big time

[topdog781]

This workout look like they would do a number on your back.

[unknownasss]

i think trampoline is the best trainer than others, what do you think?

[mrturner513]

trampoline?? that does nothing for vert

[YUNISUN]

lol

[pointzeroblack]

why slow up thats just going to like decrease your vertical...u should be exploding up.

[angrygunsmith]

ye better go up fast and down slow, maybe its just variety or something, but eplosivem ovements make you explosive, and tahts what u want with vertical junmmp

[dandandabadmintonman]

to strengthen your quads - its alot harder to go slow than really quick

[oogp]

it's better if you go down slow then up fast :) try it and you will see what i mean :)

[nbafinals100]

well do u do the thing wen u have the ball in ur hands and just jump with it itts way better plus the ball i use is way havier

[Technique9109]

immortal technique- crossing the boundary

[BigAD46]

sHer66 are u really that dumb cuz u can do all of those workouts outside so yes they are very PRATICAL idiot!

[Lolercopterz]

not really i recommend you do depth jumps and lunges

[BigAD46]

Not really what?

[sher666]

most of these exercises are not practical, I don't have a gym where I can do that.

[liljaypee24]

thats a light ass medicine ball

[Newkorfiean]

Well, I don't have a ball and a big space to throw it

[POLlyy23]

Get two kettlebells and do swing squats work your way up to 24 kg and you will fly like Kobe ;-)

[15zg]

thats a good core workout except on the squats, i would take a rest between each of the 5s because without resting, you're training your endurance, not explosion.

[iceymanjack]

so you must rest between each exercise?

[yousify]

thank you man ... I'll do this ......it look likes good

[MontrealBaller1223]

we hav to do this how much times per week?

[hotsuma4]

wuts name of song?

[BlackDragon37]

[Stigrunasa1]

lolol

[awsomedudes5]

Jumpsoles works for me pretty well but they are kind of expensive

[tmjones212]

Don't use jumpsoles. They are bad. All you need to do is barbell squat.

[fattcatt4321]

what is that?

[LifeIsUnstable]

How heavy was the ball ???

[sportsfreak44444444]

I'm a 5 feet 10 inches and am 5 inches away from hitting rim. Anyone know about programs that can help me dunk?

[trinimon11]

do serious ups by otto ruesban or sumthin like that , i forgot the guys name. ive been on it for 1 week and my vertical incresed by half inch.

[Dizzleballa]

if you want to increase your verticle eat lots of poptarts

[DOOMOFD]

[junmae808]

LOL @ his dive

[iitachifries]

in 1 weeks of trying to jump, my vertical improved like 4-5 inches :) I wasnt working out for it either, just kept jumpin every now n then...Jus wanted to share that...Cause im pretty happy with that..

[wahur300]

what kind of jumps did you do?

[iitachifries]

[Mordax14]

good exercises

[daMigez]

[chanzy360]

your knees are going over your toes and thats incorrect form who are you and what are you thinking

[Jacumbrella]
