 J plug the jumper Barth CJ Yeah, where's the video there is teeth smiling sunshine and look at that boy First of all been measuring hoops for 10 years. You can call me the LA Fitness Dunk God I also go by two legs Let's settle it once and for all or all the LA Fitness's rims low Short answer. No, why are they low? Let's get to the myth. Why are they low? Have you heard? And do you know why and why are they low? I know the myth Because people don't measure when they construct the gyms. What do they do you do? Uh-huh I am I am the CEO That's exactly right Well, you're gonna have to watch my video then The myth is the story I've been told is sometimes they put the hoop on the wall When there's cement and then they put the floor of the court there So that's a couple inches right there. That's what I've been told But are all of them low? No, I've actually measured some rims that are high I think the highest one was at least 10 to maybe even 10 3 are all LA Fitness rims low Popular belief some are actually high right no Are all LA Fitness rims low I Think it's gonna be in this video actually that I recorded it So what does this matter? Why do you care? First of all three inches is nothing But at the same time it's a lot. So which one is it? Is it nothing or is it a lot? Let's get into it If you're part of the dunk life if you've ever tried to increase your vertical if you've ever tried to dunk and Live out a dream that some of us have You know that every fraction of an inch counts and you could say pause at any time throughout this video So we're just gonna get that joke way out of the way because every inch matters every fraction of the inch matters What what's the difference between 9 9 and 10 feet? We shall pause Same thing three inches, right? Big difference or small difference Essentially, I would say small difference. All right, but if you're at your limit, right? Here's the difference when you're trying to get your first dunk Of course every fraction of an inch matters and 10 feet is the goal Does it matter if it's in a gym doesn't matter to me my first dunk was actually 9 9 But I had no idea so the life-altering mind-shaping perspective shifting event that it was was still the same now All my goals are of course 10 feet, but there is benefits to the low rims now You can ask any pro dunker they will tell you low rims are fantastic and there's two main reasons low rims Are they good low rims you like them you love them hate them. What's up? And tell me about a downside Nothing wrong with them as long as you post the rim high low rims. Are they good or bad good? And what's the downside? Right But if you if you're at a challenge challenging enough rim height that shouldn't be an issue there is none what is there any downside Dunking is repetition. So if you get comfortable dunking on a low rim It's gonna change their technique and a transition to a higher rim. Well said Okay, one for the dunk technique and two jump technique and yes, they are different You can practice your dunks whether it's spinning reverses finishing or your jump technique and the reason I like jump technique as well In addition to furthermore as dunk technique is jump technique for me on a low rim super aggressive How would you describe the way I dunk on 9 9? Now how would you describe me on 9 9 and you now when you go on 9 9 How does that feel? To someone that says when you measured at 9 9 and they're like that's 9 6. What would you say to that? Because I've had someone I've measured at 9 9 and I fly so they're like that's gotta be 9 5 9 6 What do you say to that? Super aggressive when I don't get too high when it's a 10 1 10 2 and I'm just trying to put one down It's hard for me to get that same adrenaline Do I still have it coursing through my blood? Of course, but when it's a little low and I know I can just get my freaking neck by the rim and destroy it It's a different level of mania. He's a maniac. Okay now That being said all my goals are for 10 feet when you're first increasing and getting your first dunk a one-hander on 9 9 from 10 Feet it may not take you that long because you're only increasing 3 inches and when you're first starting out like I did at a 28 inch vertical you're increasing a couple inches so 28 to 31 is not that big any Rim that's low is really helpful for this dunk technique all the way down to 8 feet So I definitely advise going out getting a rim that's adjustable use them as a tool just like working out You want to use them as supplemental exercises for yourself. Are they a lot of fun? Yes, fun should be the part of the journey Maybe the priority if not the number one priority should be the most fun If you're saying I'm lifting 10 pounds, then you add another 10 pounds Then you add another 10 pounds every 10 pounds gets exponentially harder yet It's still adding the same increment of weight That is what I'm saying about these three inches pause because if you're starting at a 30 inch vertical and you're increasing 3 inches, that's a lot easier than having a 48 inch vertical and trying to get to 51 Going from a 30 inch vertical to a 33 inch vertical compared to what's yours that right now? 48 to 51 I actually use that as an example same thing three inches, right? Can you sum it up in a sentence why it's different? I'm giving them the hard ones boom So does it count on 9 9 no nothing's official unless it's 10 feet Kind of a random thing as well because why did it start at 10 feet? We use the friggin What do you call our system not the metric system the other one? I don't even know what mine's called and 10 feet is 120 inches so random, but that's what it is that's standard That's what the pros play on so that's where your goals should be That's what my goals are to dunk in games. Do I still get insanely hype when I do it on 9 9? Yeah, because it's more about the journey and the progress. I'm not saying all right completed my goal No, it's another goal like that if you're trying to climb Mount Everest and you climb something It's less high but still challenging you still scream So I love when people say it's not nice it's not nine I put 9 9 why would I lie first of all been measuring Hoops for ten years. I literally pioneered measuring hoops and someone says that's it. That's gotta be 9 5 9 6 Do you know what I would do on that height? 3 inches below the 9 9 3 inches below regulation from 10 feet to 9 9 is Absurdity I'm literally a God. I'm the LA Fitness God. You can call me the LA Fitness Dunk God I also go by two legs So so if you lower that three more inches. Good night. Just good night Just good night. Just go to sleep because we're lucid dreaming now. I Might have taken that title already in this video I'm making Now how would you compare 9 9 to 9 6? Yeah, silly goose Yeah, do you believe in the big bank theory if I believe in it We're like depending on how low the rim is don't forget to actually work on your jump technique when you go into practicing trick guns So so when you're training, don't cheat yourself measure the rim every fraction of the inch really does count Shoot for that 10 feet use the low rims as practice have fun. I can't stress it enough and go nuts What else did I want to say about it when you're at your limit an inch is a mile But bars if you're you're progressing and you don't believe in limits, it's the same thing Do you believe in limits, sir? I do not believe in women. So we don't do we don't do that at all here now the single one Oh, yeah, the tweets where it's at Yeah Have fun you can feel it too once you jump enough especially for 10 years You can look at a rim and tell if it's higher low and that's actually a fun thing a random thing when you're having a good jumping day Everything looks lower. I'm 5 10. Okay. I'm not like people say that's not short anymore. Okay, 10 years ago I was short. I'm the same height and I do a crazy distance smash dunk and they're like, can you don't come 10 feet? I'm like, it's three inches.
