Let's go All we do is dunk don't tip Tuesday boy, you don't want to jump don't tip Tuesday No, my part is going up don't tip Tuesday. And I do it for the love don't tip Tuesday up don't tip Tuesday and I can never get enough don't tip Tuesday and I ain't never giving up What is good welcome back to dunk tip Tuesday every freaking Tuesday. We do this. Look my channel's all about making cool Shit, that's all I want to do. I just want to make cool videos. I want to make inspirational videos I want to express myself So if you're into any of that if you're into just living in the energy that you're creating every moment that you exist Subscribe and if you want to listen to this on my podcast I have a weekly podcast dunk tip Tuesday podcast tons of content everywhere So content king just watched bo bernum's thing and he's like, what does he say daddy made you daddy made you some content? That's how it feels. That's how I feel when I make content. I just feel like here you go I just want to entertain. I just want to have fun. I just want to do this And one of those ways I want you to live in a higher reality Physically tangibly, but also mentally and spiritually is dunking So today I want to give you the three Common mistakes that are holding back your progress that I'm seeing over and over again, especially Recently, so let's go number one something. I did for the first five years of my training, which is over Training jumping too much pushing too much not listening to your body and just jumping way too much But yes jumping a lot is the key to jumping higher. So how do you find that balance? Well over training A lot of times when you don't have a good jumping day, you're the this was my case I didn't have a good jumping day. I didn't jump high the next day I wanted to do it and I just kept having jump day after jump day until I had a good jumping day But I wasn't listening to my body. I wasn't recovering properly I wasn't doing other things that are accessory workouts like mobility for my ankles and my hips and Getting blood flow and just working on my range of motion. I wasn't doing any of that. So Understanding that over training is a very common thing and understanding your energy levels, which I'll get into in another tip This is one of the biggest things I'm seeing recently and I'm seeing people try to do They're trying to lift they're trying to get stronger. They're trying to get faster all in one And so the key for not overtraining is simply patience You have to understand that dunking just like anything takes time. There's a quick skit What there's a really cool feature of a human brain, which is how we learn we learn when we sleep Which I mean by that is if you ever try what I well what I mean by that is if you ever learned a new skill You're practicing. You're practicing it. I had this really cool feeling when I was doing skateboarding I was trying a trick trying a trick for hours hours hours And then I went to sleep the next day I tried that trick and I got it like first try And I could just feel like my body already knew the movement That's because when we sleep those patterns that we're carving with a new skill Get played in our brain as we sleep And I think there was a study that showed it gets played 20 times faster So you need sleep you need sleep not just for your body and your energy But to learn your body needs time to learn and I know no one wants to hear this But when you're studying or when you're reading something when you have gaps It's actually called ready for my my intelligence here my uh knowledge. What is it called? Not the placebo, but it's really close to that It was in the book limitless by jim quick It was called the para something one sec took me forever Pomodoro effect your brain learns better when you take breaks because it needs time to digest It needs time to absorb that information and use it so you can't cram It just physically doesn't work in your brain same is true for all training same is true for your body and breaking down muscle It just makes sense So if you're starting to dunk now Think very long term and you will understand this when you start training and you start to make progress You have to think long term so that way you do It's best for yourself today and not try to jump to those milestones because you're just going to be jumping and falling Jumping and falling and in a spiral that goes nowhere where we want to go up A big killer mistake. That's really hard to put into words again until you feel it is not max jumping So number two is not stimulating a max jump within your body So this is a very hard one to put into words But if you feel it you'll understand and an analogy I like to use is sprinting if you're running a 40-yard dash and you're trying to run faster Say your time is a five seconds flat. You're trying to break five seconds and you'd be blazing Trying to break that five second mark. You have to physically push yourself Faster than that five second mark. You have to bring full intensity and the reason I bring that up is because a lot of times I see people this is very common They go to get the rim or they even dunk and they get stuck there And one of the biggest things I ask them about their training is what are you doing to stimulate a max jump? Are you still reaching for something higher because a lot of times in our brain? Everybody has an easy time touching the rim for the first time Or if they can't touch the rim they increase to touch the rim and that's because they have a goal They have something to reach for to jump for but then once you're grabbing the rim or you're dunking You're not stimulating say this microphone might stand is this this microphone mic is the is the rim You got to reach for higher. So I say try to touch your wrist notice the freaking things in my wrist I was dunking yesterday. Let's go reach or something touch something on the backboard I'm a big fan of throwing a really high toss or a far toss and going for that You have to do things to help your body know You're trying to reach that next level and that leads me to number three probably the most progress Impeding factor I see in many people training and that is energy more specifically Lacking energy. So just like I was saying when you need to stimulate that max jump or you're overtraining A lot of times it's because we're not recovering But it's also because we don't have that intensity or that energy to push ourselves hard Now look you're trying to push yourself to a new level You're trying to push your mental capacity to get stronger and for me I'm trying to get more mobile So I have to go in these ranges that hurt that have to extend my body And they're really tough to keep the right position My patterns that I've carved in my body are incorrect Not only do I have to undo them, but I have to carve new ones So my body wants to be held into the known our subconscious brain doesn't want us to thrive It just wants us to survive. It wants us to keep us safe. So we have to fight that every moment Now here's the thing We need energy to do that If you don't have the energy to push yourself at a max level, you're not going to get to that stimulus of a max level So you need to sleep right you need to eat right You need to shut up and you need to live the dunk life in all aspects of your life If you really want to go to that crazy level And so that's why I'm huge on energy because everything I do I think to myself when I'm pushing myself super hard It's it's a mental war field. What do they call it? Oh warfare. I almost killed it Mental warfare every time I go to the gym. Oh, I got to do this again Boom and I'm making progress now and I'm proud of myself because I was able to stay in there And it's basically like staying in a fire. I wrote it on my story today. Everybody wants to get shredded Nobody wants to sit in a fire if you want to do these things you got to do it every single day You got to stretch hard. You got to lift hard You got to do it with the right mechanics You got to think about every single detail and you got to do it over and over and over again So That's what it's like. Those are my three keys if you could do that You can really make the most progress. You can't stick to the day It's day by day training design your life so you can have the training you want That's what I did with mine if you want my coaching in any capacity.
