How To Become An Elastic Jumper

Спорт

Questions that I answered today:
I’m a very force reliant athlete. Tips for becoming more elastic? More plyos?
Your training is good for footballers?
Do you still do plyometrics?
What are your best tips on how to jump higher?
What kind of foods should I be eating when trying to increase my vertical jump and athleticism?
Can you explain more about cycles and micro cycles?
What keeps you motivated to keep working on your vertical?
How many THP plans are there? Is it just the 99/month one?
After which cycle do you get the most vertical gains?
Conventional deadlifts or sumo deadlifts to jump higher?
I get rid of knee pain but it always comes back. How do I get rid of it forever?
What are the only three exercises I need to jump higher?
How do you get comfortable pushing high weights when cleaning? I limit myself.
Whenever I train harder I get sick. I can’t figure out why
I jump high enough to dunk, but can’t when I have the ball in my hand. Why?

Stopped that and did powerlifting strictly for about 6 years.

    2 questions 😂 1. Can you go over what to look for in a shoe for squatting / powercleaning? 2. Can you explain the biomechanics of how a power clean can help you improve your vertical more than a Deadlift or squat? (I find the upright row part so counterintuitive and can't understand how it could translate to jumping higher🙃)

  • @TR-cg1qv

    @TR-cg1qv

    2 ай бұрын

    You're looking for explosiveness when training to jump higher aka force*speed. When power cleaning you need to produce force very quickly to get the bar high enough to catch it on your shoulders plus the movement kind of mimics a jump. Of course pure strenght training will help (you will see isaiah squatting very heavy sometimes) but heavy squat and deadlift won't teach high power input the same way as power cleans do.

  • @TR-cg1qv

    @TR-cg1qv

    2 ай бұрын

    And for shoes you're ideally looking for a hard sole to have a good power transfer, although i don't think it's a must have, isaiah usually trains in jordan and simple running shoes work just well for me, but maybe it's not ideal idrk. Also powerlifting shoes have an alevated heel for people with poor ankle mobility.

    Also he says in the video, we wanna surf the force-velocity curve. That is the amount of force you can produce at differing velocities. He’s actually referencing the FV-curve constantly in this vid. For power cleans its between lifting and jumping - faster than lifting but slower than jumping. The motion is actually also very similar to jumping, especially how THP likes to coach it. There’s more stuff depending on what sort of framework you like to view it in but that’s the main gist of it!

    No pro at this, but maybe limit your plyometrics a lot cuz your jumping ALOT in game, and only try to do max effort jump sessions once-twice a week. You might not be able to do strength and max jump sessions at the same time with basketball games due to fatigue. But maybe you could limit sessions to something like 1-3 days lifting (don’t forget upper body), 1 jump sessions. Then the rest you have as “recovery” and you play basketball on those days

    A bigger muscle doesn’t alway equal stronger. But a bigger muscle does have the potential to produce more force than a smaller muscle when trained correctly. That’s why you just do short hypertrophy blocks. Add a little size at a time then make sure you get the most strength and power from your newly added size. If you just did hypertrophy work year round like a bodybuilder you would get much bigger but wouldn’t get more explosive. Plus hypertrophy cycles are good for joint health and recovery. Can’t just go heavy year round.

    Your definition of "plyo cycle" or "hypertrophy cycle" IS a mesocycle within a larger macrocycle, and is made up of typically 1 week microcycles. So typically 4 weeks or around that range for the whole "plyo cycle." Also i would suggest thinking of cycles as focusing on qualities of the force velocity curve, in terms of volume and intensity, and in terms of specificity rather than just Hypertrophy, Strength, Power, Plyos

    700/month is such an interesting price point to be marketing to teens (prob your main customer), since I doubt many can afford that and still play competitive sports and afford a gym membership. But I’m probably just out of touch with how much parents are willing to spend on their kid’s sport training. I’m curious on what your main selling point is, since being a savage 2 foot jumper is cool for bball, but probably sprint speed is more important, but sport skill is even more important. Like why would someone sign up for your program? What is it going to give for that value? Is it only for maxing out your two foot jumping? Or do you tailor the training to the persons goals? Do you have any Isaiah Rivera equivalents in terms of speed transformation, from ok in HS to near Olympian level speed (which is arguably the most useful trait for all sport)? Or is it all two foot jump success stories? Do you have similar 1-foot jump transformations that your program made?

    Pricing is based on demand. When we feel like we are at our limits with what we can handle coaching wise while still delivering a good service we will raise the price back up (at the moment it’s 99/month). And our focus is athlete’s that are obsessed with jumping higher, whether it’s for a sport or just for the love of dunking and jumping. We are strength and conditioning coaches first though, so we can coach strength, speed, and endurance for any sport. And most recently we actually have an athlete who we took from being a subpar sprinter in HS to now earning a D1 track scholarship (check out @camydunks on IG) running the 100m amongst many other success stories.

    Love and obey the word of God, as Christ will love us. Christ did not come on this earth to lift up those who were already lifted, but to forgive those who were in dire need of lifting. If we plead for forgiveness in true faith for Christ, and admit with our mouths, spirits, and minds that Jesus Christ is our lord and savior, we shall be saved. Follow the commandments of God, but not so he will follow you, but so we can follow him. Gods plan is perfect no matter what we believe, so have faith my friends. The Lord shall return soon. God bless u all.
