This is a super silly take. Do you think runners just naturally have the best form?? No. Do you think swimmers just naturally have the best form?? No. There's no way your average hooper just have the best form for jumping down.

​@@maximuschapman7760Yeah, they just get up one day and say "Aite, time to stop pretending I couldn't walk this whole time" Even if you argue that they teach themselves, babies still have to _learn_ how to walk; it takes years of practice just for them to not fall over randomly. There may be a few exceptional athletes who would default to jumping in this way without any practice or study, but in a vast majority of cases this is a *learned* technique, not natural form. People who jump like this either learned, through repeated trials, what works best, or they adopted the form from someone else; it may be _easy_ for some of them, but that doesn't make it natural

Good advice. I’m a sprint coach and now switching my own focus to 800m. One of the things that I teach is that a bent leg can travel in the air faster than a straight one. And that’s why the best runners chamber that heel to the butt, so that the leg can cycle through faster for the next stride. This is the same principle, but with jumping. I’m gonna practice this for fun.

Everything you said is accurate, with the exception of the “Penultimate Step”. It’s actually the “Antepenultimate Step” (third to last step) that creates horizontal thrust, which the player will convert into vertical thrust on his second to last (Penultimate) and last (Ultimate) step.

Thanks!

Dude, I will never understand how some people can jump so damn high 😂 I feel like I jump fairly high but meanwhile I can only scrape the rim (I’m 5’10’’)

Great explanation of the penultimate step

Coming from a volleyball player it’s also helpful if you swing you arms back to the point where your hands are above your head.

Isaiah, can you do a video where you jump with your hands and ball at the HIGHEST REACH possible?! I’d love to see how high up the backboard (or over it(?) you can get! And then dunk it at the very last possible inch before descending to the ground. Thanks

Having a super strong lower back helps...the transfer from potential to kinetic translates there..Isiah is a CRAZY athlete... definitely

Already can almost hit my head on the ceiling with this jump, thank you!!

Bro that’s so direct!!! It changes you from dragging into a jump into a launch step

Great explanation, thank you!

Stumbled on to your page. Absolutely incredible. Keep it up, you inspire me to be better

Nice hops and great explanation we learn this on asphalt before figuringit out... dudes warming up always flying through the air , then in game when on D bumping them gums getting into the their head they weren't flying as high ...

Drives me crazy how whenever Isaiah posts a jump technique video like this, idiots who've never jumped in their life "correct" him and say it's gonna get you hurt. Sure it looks scary for your knees in slow motion but a simple slap also looks scary in slow motion. This is objectively proper jump technique that will not get you hurt. Also he's the highest jumper in the world, of course he's gonna have really intense angles and force in his jump! He's jumped 51 inches and people think they need to correct him 😂 Edit I've actually watched it now nice advice 👍 I've never thought about leading with the knee and THEN straightening my leg. I'll think about it later at VB practice

average MFs will try to copy a literal world record holder and then proceed to refuse to condition their bodies to handle the ridiculous angles and stress they're putting themselves under to maximize their verticals. Probably the same people in the gym who refuse to hit squat depth. You're asking for it at that point

His jumping technique can be easily analyse phase by phase & or broken down biomechanically. There is certainly some very positive aspects to his overall leaping ability with that said there are aspects of his jumping which could be more efficient which more than likely if mastered suggest his max leaping heights could increase. In term of injury let's just say this is not a suitable or ideal forum to openly dialogue on that point. Working with such as Javier Sotomajor, Derek Drouin, Milt Ottey & other athletes over past 30+ years given us a unique perspective on the jumps, & speed power.

It’s good dependant on your level if you don’t have strong legs you just gonna end up injuring yourself, and I can dunk from every plant so don’t start that bs with me

Omg I needed this last year. This is literally where all my PFP came from.

thank you brother!

The only problem is you can't do your arms like that when you're playing basketball. You must keep a dribble. So, in that case, you use the ball to help lift you.

This information is super cool to learn body musculature logic. Love it.

Besides the leg position, i keep focusing on the arms. Wondering about the dynamics of your arms throughout this motion. What advice would you say holds for upper extremities when trying to get that hight but also use the arms to score?

All that energy going into that step! I mean both feet off the ground like that seems insane!

I don’t know if you have already done this but a full step into dunking and increasing jump height would be perfect for you, how you did this short but longer would smack

As a highjumper, I have no idea what's going on here. Jumping with two feet is just soo different. In highjump at least, that penultimate step would 1) Be way to long. First, you're losing momentum while in the air - though admittedly not much. 2) you're putting downward force on your joints and thus increasing the load your have to fight against to get up. Though - that's not a big deal. 2) That landing, at least in the highjump, is 100% going to result in blowing through the jump. As you try to convert the forward momentum into upwards momentum, the whole body has to be in line. Meaning a highjumper will be leaning away from the bar on takeoff and you can draw a straight line from heel to head. Here - we have an angle at the hips. Meaning he'll be using muscle to stop his body from moving forward and also be losing force behind him. But - everything I'm saying applies to highjump where we're 1) Trying to jump over a bar and thus trying to get our center of gravity as high as possible, 2) We're only allowed to take off 1 foot - I'm not sure that two foot take offs would be better but tumbling makes me wonder. My whole point is that I just don't understand this advice as a highjumper - particularly as it relates to the angle at the hips.

The whole point of this video is explaining how to be explosive off 2 feet. I believe a better description of how to jump higher is to run and about half speed and when you go to jump make sure your last 2 steps are planned and when you exploding off your feet its best to not squat 2 far down but to be about half bent at the knees so no momentum is lost. The hardest thing is learning timing, it takes good timing to get a real spring off your feet.

@bryant475

Ай бұрын

It's much easier to jump higher off two feet, since you're using the strength from both legs rather than just 1!

@supermankent1041

Ай бұрын

This has NO Relationship to "High Jump". This is about how high can you jump with NO RESTRICTIONS. In "High Jump" you MUST take off on ONE Foot and CLEAR a bar. At one time someone was able to back flip over an 8' high bar. It doesn't count because he took off on TWO Feet.

This translates well to a lot of sports, commonly called blocking out. You're trying to get good forward momentum, and smoothly redirect as much forward momentum into upward momentum as possible while losing as little as possible. Throwing your hips forward (and shoulders back) puts your center of gravity behind the angle of momentum, which is a super important preperation. Leading with your knee and waiting until the last second to extend helps you bring your back leg at least part of the way forward before landing, letting you absorb and redirect that energy with both legs. You can achieve a similar effect by jumping onto both feet with your center of gravity behind your feet (look at how gymnasts/tricksters perform front tucks), but this method allows a much greater transfer of energy. Gymnasts/tricksters get away with it because the springfloor helps redirect the energy.

This is exactly what I needed, thanks bro!

Fantastic.

I love it. How tall are you ?

Thanks for this breakdown. Just for curiosity sake, could you get the knee over toes guy to comment on this?

Much of the height in a good jump comes from forward momentum turned upward

It's a change in momentum and the straight leg acts as a lever for change of direction. The other leg adds power to direct the the momentum shift in direction. Just can't go backwards so I bet you gotta jump earlier than you think.

Arm swing is also underrated part of the jump.

My knees hurt just watching. 😂

Super cool video

Landing straight like that will destroy your knees, hips and back in no time though. Awesome height, but that landing needs work.

Great stills- how do you develop the penultimate step?

First time I actually understood the steps with it broken down like this.

Mikan Drills folks. Quickness, Height, Musclebuilding and doing it with the ball in your hands. Game time useful drill. Great hops though and i hope the floor has no moisture.

Make sure no sweat on the floor!!

You have been doing this technique so many times. Did your standing jump also improve because of this process? Did you gain additional muscle that made you jump higher while standing and no momentum from running?

Could be ahell of an outside hitter in volleyball with that vertical

I learned this watching Michael Jordan doing his "Kiss the Rim" dunk. I'm 5'6 and was dunking and blocking shots afterwards 💪🏾

Pls keep making these types of vids

1 strong core 2 make sure you core is stable

i kinda get it now, you just get as much energy as you can forward, and then you just redivert that energy upward with the last 2 steps.

I wish I knew this when I played Basketball. I still was regional champ. But my high jump was the lowest of my team, although I was between the ones with better endurance to run the whole game. I've noticed that you also use your arms to leverage your body weight into the air. The highest jumping guy of my team, once hit with his ass on the face on another high jumping guy while in mid air. The second guy was so pissed not believing how could he jump so high.

Fun fact, springs and cushions in shoes have been tried before and were found to be generally unhelpful

That's a great way to cause a meniscus tear.

So it’s like instead of having your weight directly overtop of you on your approach, you throw it from behind you forward, and then transfer that momentum upwards

Genetics plays a huge role guys

(In the example with the red Kobe’s) Are you talking about your left foot or right foot? I feel like this que has helped a lot, but it’s always unclear for me which leg you’re talking about. Like in this video, it sounds like you’re talking about the knee of the plant leg.

I used a modified version on this to get the pop I needed, he's right on this..

Bro seriously did “The Mario”

How are you not snapping your ankle, look at that angle

i cant do that penultimate step when my gym floor's grip is shit

Bout to win every header no- oh wait- I’m still short

This will be good bragging rights for a few years before the chronic knee pain leads to a downward spiral of addiction to prescription pain killers as you slowly become a shell of who you once were.

Same thing in volleyball 💯 step 1 2 POP

That was cool

To jump high you need a really good PDHDHBYNEN step. Thats what i understood after hearing it 10 times

do the chicken flop move like this guy

I have been dunking with forces for the past 2 weeks lets see what I can do with proper shoes cuz does bricks are really taking away all of the momentum

i know you do this a lot but it had me concerned when your front leg was totally straight hitting the ground. easiest way to get the triple whammy

this heel to butt motion happens reflexive anyway. Would you say it's better to still focus on in? I don't think so because it's such a fast/reflexive motion. And all such fast movements must happen reflexive not voluntary to be that fast.

Don’t forget genetics.. that’s the most important step

You must be really good at qwop

Bro forgot the part where you need a higher ratio of fast twitch muscles

This actually changes the way I and many other people will jump, this knowledge deserves money!

You should learn to dunk taking one step from a stand still, if you have to run and bounce your self off the wood floors it doesn’t count. Also you’ll eventually dislocate or hyperextend your knee with that type of step, I’ve done it 3 times.

Instructions unclear Im still gliding in the air 💀

Thats SO much trust in that surface and those shoes wtf

To each his own

Instructions unclear, I dislocated my kneecap and am now in the hospital.

My problem is swing my arms. Any tips? Lol no diddy

You also got to bet sure that the place you’re jumping has enough grip to handle all of your weight otherwise you can fall, injure yourself or worse
