 I'm going to train your dread. And it's Wednesday, AKA jump day. I almost said the wrong one, but we don't say the H word anymore. You know which one I'm talking about. It's the middle of the week, but it's jump day. Actually, I'm jumping today, warming up for tomorrow. Super pumped to jump today. Last time I jumped the day before my dunk day was actually better than my dunk day because of all the slippery floors and all the nonsense. But I was flying, but I'm going to keep it super short. Keep it extra short today and fly tomorrow. That's the plan. The only reason I dunked the day before the dunk days and other stories that I've worked this up. So it's like my pre-warmup days used to be very small, where I just do stretching or light dynamic warmup, but I built it up to box jumps, built it up to full dunk day. You get the point. That's another story. Welcome to Don't Clive Daily, the best show on the face of the planet and any other face of other planets. And where we talk about dunks, we talk about life, we talk about a bug and everything else. And I talk and you don't. And but we listen, I listen and we're blowing up soon. So I can't respond to all of you. So get in soon, get into the Ponzi scheme soon and you'll benefit almost as much as me, but not as much because I'm the top. I'm the peak, this stupid mic thing, this pop filter is covering my mouth and I don't like the way you can't see my lips move because I feel like some people that are deaf can't watch. No, I don't know. Anywho, I also wanted to start this one with fucking little wanes, wrapping and stuff. I don't know how to not get monetized. I've been bumping his old stuff. I gotta point something out because this is a place for me to express myself, share my opinions as well. We'll get to the dunk series. Today's the dunk series, episode one. Well, I'm not gonna say episode one because I start everything over a hundred times. This is part one of the five part series of the top five things of training that I think are good. Have I made this video already about all aspects of dunk training? Yes, is it 49 minutes long and nobody watched it and the thumbnail was terrible and I has no views on it? Definitely. Can you go watch that still? Yes, it's called how to dunk all aspects of training. It's a podcast same microphone, horrible lighting, all that type of thing. But, this won't be a little bit more easy to consume because as you can tell, I'm definitely on track. I'm definitely staying on topic. Now, I'm gonna keep you short, five part series. If you wanna know what the five parts are, they are as follows. Where is it? Today's gonna be how to start training. So it's gonna be how to get started in your dunk life career. How to assess yourself. Tomorrow, jump technique in plants. Next day, strength phase is how long each different phase should be. Fourth, fifth, whatever day, dunk diet and the last day, mindset, bro. Okay, so what I was gonna say. Little Wayne, bro, last podcast I think, or whatever I said, always sunny's better than the office. I'm not gonna get into it, done. The other thing I wanted to mention is that Little Wayne people, shit, not on him dude, but the thing is his past stuff, has anybody reached a higher peak for that long? Not maybe not that long, but as high of a peak as he was, he was at the top, bro. And then just because you fell off, it's like, yo, but what about his run? You just forget about it? Yeah, you wanna play his old stuff. Not everybody can make new stuff, but it's like, not everybody reaches that peak that he did and the stuff that he did. So God damn it, I love listening to his old stuff. And it's not even on Apple Music. I still have it on my Google Play from when I used to download music. The non, I don't know, I'm gonna say that, incriminate myself, but you know what I'm saying? The non, easy way. And so his stuff, bumps, it's so fun. I'm gonna try to make some dunk mixes with it. I think he's definitely inspired me because when I sort of listened to his old stuff again and I listened to what I rap about, I'm hugely inspired by Little Dicky, but there's a lot of little Wayne flavor in there. I gotta get my rap up. Should I have gotten it up already while Little Dicky's was still really hot on the internet? Yes, am I late? Yes, did I wanna make it too perfect? Yes, it happens when it's a creative thing is that I wanted to make it easy for you guys to read, put subtitles and pictures, and I haven't even recorded it yet. See, when you add too many things, you just gotta do the first step. I'm thinking seven steps ahead. That's what this is about. This is about learning what the first F in step is. And the other thing I wanted to talk about was, that's it, oh yeah. And have I practiced my rap a thousand times in the shower because the acoustics are good and plus there's nothing else to do and plus I yell at the wall like I'm like, hype? Yes, have I said it in Ubers? When I go out and I don't even drink, I just drink some water and I plug in the aux cord and I wrap it in the Uber and I give them five stars because they listened well. Yes. Okay, we'll get into the training now, let's go. How do you start your training for dunking? My best advice to everyone I meet because I get this question a ton, where do I start? What do I do next is learn yourself. What have you been doing? What have you been doing for the past couple of months? What have you done for the years? I always tell them this. This is what I tell everybody that I meet is a concept I learned from Jump Science, Daniel Beck. It's like you have a performance window, right? If you're looking at the video podcast, I got my hands up as like my index finger. You get it, it's like a little window, right? There's the top and the bottom to the window and you jump at the bottom of the window or the top of the window, right? But your window doesn't move. So say the top of your window is 40 inches and the bottom is 35 inches, whatever it is. When you're fresh, you're healthy. You've been working on elastic training. You're gonna be at the top of the window when you're trying to, when you're fatigued or some days you just jumped for the next day. You might be at the bottom of the window or in the middle of the window. The point is when you jump consistently and work elastically, which people don't normally do, they don't push themselves to jump higher. They're somewhere in the middle of the window. Some days they're at the top just because they're lucky. Maybe they played basketball over the weekend and now they're kind of elastic from that training so that if they freshen up, they'll be at the top of the window but they don't really stay at the top of the window. So I tell people, just jump consistently, push yourself because you might be able to raise your window a little bit because you've never trained jumping by just jumping a lot. And a lot of people hoop and they have some good days and bad days but it never pushed themselves jumping. And plus it's just, it's fun to get to the top of your window and that's that. And if you get to the top of your window and you're from jumping, keep doing that. See how far just jumping can take you but also health is a priority. Health, no matter what is a priority. So don't just jump, jump, jump. I say jump a lot and you need to but it's gradual. I wouldn't say just jump and push yourself till you get hurt if you feel any pain. Health is priority. So definitely start of every dunk life thing is push yourself to jump but then assess your body. See where it hurts, your lower back, your knees and really get that health because you're never gonna have long-term progress if you have a bad foundation. Foundation is first and that means healthy tendons, healthy ligaments, healthy bones, healthy skin, healthy cells, healthy mind. So go with health first and jump. And then the next thing to do is assess where you're weak. So some people are, some people are weak. Some people are, they're not, you have to figure out what plant you are, right? So that's gonna be tomorrow, what plant you are but what I mean by that is try different plants. See what you can work on all jumping based. So if you're all off one foot, see if you can do two foot, see what, just use this time to assess all the little things that you need so that way you can start from the ground up. There's not gonna be a secret and there's not gonna be a program that you need that's gonna just take you up to the next level. Who would say, what program do you follow? What exercises do I do? It's so variable, start with jumping and assess. Meaning if you're jumping and you feel super powerful and you are really good off a standing vert but you have no approach, work on your approach. Start gradual with that as well. Start with a drop step, then two steps back, then three steps back and so on. And if you're vice versa, if you're like me and you run full speed and you get a full jump and you're terrible off vert, work on your off vert. But just from a logical standpoint, the off vert has no speed involved. So obviously it's a lot of strength there. And obviously vice versa, if you have, if you can't do off vert and you're using all speed, you're using all your speed you don't have as much strength. So then you might need a strength phase but if you're jumping for a little bit and you realize that your off vert is better than you run, then you have all that strength, you just need to work on your technique. So I always say jumping and technique first because most people don't do that, assess your body for health and that's the foundation and go with that. And the last thing I gotta say is when you pick a program, some of them that I recommend are Bounce Kit, Air Strike with John Evans, Daniel Bax, Jump Science, PPA Tyler Ray, ATG with Ben and Connor. There's his more health. ATG I use for health, it helps my knees get healthy. The rest I've used different aspects of to get my bounce up. So it's up to you, I've used everybody. I've talked to all these dunkers, everybody, everything I've done. My own program works as well, very well. But if you want to work with me, it's gonna be like this. It's gonna be, I'm gonna learn what you need exactly and then we'll tailor it to you because there's just too many variables. I didn't wanna just dump a program on people because it's too tough and I wanna believe in what I train. So the last thing I'm gonna say is when you pick a program, it's not just gonna do it, it's how you do the program. You have to understand what you're doing with those exercises. Are you pushing yourself 100% and are you creating the right stimulus? So learn about that, take the first couple months, think long term, think five years, think 10 years. Don't think I'm gonna dunk on somebody's head this next upcoming season when it's the end of summer. You know what I mean? You're not gonna get 10 inches of vertical in a month. That's how I started my training. Eight years ago with Jump Manual, it was said I can get 12 inches in 10 months. No, 10 weeks. So I'm like, oh, that's sick. I'll be fucking head at the rim in two and a half months. That's sick. But it didn't happen, took eight years. I'm still struggling to dunk and gain. I caught up with that the other week, but I didn't film it. So here we go. Here we are, fucking make it this. Anyway, super pump for this. Hope you guys liked this one. If there was anything I missed and what you will have questions on how to start your training, health first, diet first, foundation first, that's it, foundation first, jump day. Perfect time for jump day, but everything's lining up. Everything's aligning. This video is gonna blow the fudge up. I'm almost at 30K next week. I'm gonna be at fucking 90, bro. It triples. It tripled on Tondra because I'm honing in on the skills, plus the title for this, bro. Those that know, oh man, I learned the algorithm. We're gone, dude. Whoever's in the Ponzi scheme with me, let's ride, dude. All right. Okay. And of course I'm gonna do on this day in history because it's everyone's favorite. Everybody raves about it. I'm not gonna read them beforehand. I'm refreshing the page. It still says the seventh. What's today? Today is the seventh. Okay. 1461. Ming dynasty, Chinese military general, Cao Qing stages a coup against the Tainan Shan Emperor. Well, there's something to learn. Oh, this is cool. I don't know if it's cool, but 1955, Tokyo telecommunications engineering, the precursor to Sony begins selling its first transistor radios in Japan. Now that's kind of cool. When was that? 50, 64 years ago. And now look at this. We got a high quality professional video camera with a rapping type road expensive mic coming to you live from my fucking studio apartment. It's not, it's a one bedroom, but studio apartment, the studio part stands for it's my studio. But, so that's cool. Now that's only 64 years ago. That was the first radio. 1990 US deploys troops to Saudi Arabia becoming Operation Desert Shield. I forget who they were. Okay. Today in film, 2015 US presidential hopeful Donald Trump says in a CNN interview that news anchor Megan Kelly had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. What am I reading? That was four years ago. How was that a fact in history? I don't even know what that means. I didn't even want to go into it. 2009 TikTok single released by Kesha, Billboard's song of the year. I don't remember that song. Oh, weird. 1929, New York Yankee slugger, Babe Ruth ties MLB record by hitting grand slams in consecutive games for the second time and 13 to one win versus Philadelphia A's. Man, Babe Ruth, imagine watching that guy swing. Yeah, a sweet crack out of bed if I've ever seen one. Okay. And now, Dunk Life of the day. Let me get to my videos. Oh, by the way, compounding experience type things. Always sunny, best show. Little Wayne, best of all time, baby. Coffee tomorrow, bro. Tomorrow for a Thursday classic. We're brewing the Colombian coffee. I got my grinder, hand grinder. Gonna make the best coffee I've ever made in my life. I'm really excited for that. And comments, let's see what we got. I think I've responded to most of them. Ooh, Josh D'Amalante. D'Amalante, can you make a video about how to get a higher vertical? Huh, huh, are you tuned in? Are you tuned in? Obviously you commented before this, but I'm saying, you happy now, dude? All right, what's up? Mindset is huge, this is Corey Gregory. Certified dream chaser says, I love you, man, positive energy. Let's go! Yo, by the way, another compounding experience, which is just gonna be better if you follow along. New font for the Dunk Life logo. New gear, I'm gonna make fucking gym gear, like high quality, you know. Like, I don't even wanna get into it because I'm gonna keep it secret, but I'm trying to make really good gear that you're actually like to wear over your other clothes. So, like, you put on another shirt, you're like, God, this is not a Dunk Life shirt, it sucks, bro, I'm not gonna even jump. Well, yes, that's what I want you to think. All right, thank you for everything. Man, this is a little bit of a long one, hopefully it's okay with you, because it's okay with me, because I can keep going all day, because it's okay with me, and if it's okay with you, then I would love to do even more. Can't wait to explode and only do this every single day better and better and better and more. I got my rap coming out, I can't, I gotta post it. But, this has been going so well, I don't wanna fuck up my YouTube, but Dunkin' Today, Dunkin' Tomorrow, check my Instagram for little highlights, but I do like to show my Tube first. YouTubers first, Ponzi scheme enthusiasts always. Let's go. Toodaloo. That's Dunk Life. Oh, that's the anthem right there. Trying to make an intro, ended up making an anthem. Oh, hey.
