You would be surprised. Once you see gains whether in jumping or other things, there's a positive feedback loop to raise the bar. Could be the same reason I plateaued at 36 inch vertical after a couple years of training and couldn't even do a simple windmill at 6ft, around 8ft standing reach. Nowadays there's so much more information online one these kinds of things to create a more effective program

​@aahmad1939ify I healed up from tendonitis and a partial patellar tendon tear by doing 4-5 sets of 45 second holds of a spanish squat with resistance bands behind the knees (I prefer this over other isometrics because it mimics a take off position and angles for a 2 foot jump the best), I supplemented with 15g geletin/collagen and 50mg Vitamin C (or more) an hour before the holds to augment collagen synthesis and boost the regeneration process. This is backed by (Shaw et al., 2016). I'm now fully recovered from it and it's as if my knees were never injured in the first place, this is my alt account so whether you believe me or not is up to you but I am 5'6" and can dunk on 10ft.

In this video you spit absolute facts, I was jumping for about 2/3 years now, and realized how big of the problem is knee/shin pain is. I had ocassional pains in the knee so I thought I can train harder, now because of the pain I just jump lower and have to put extra time to the recovery, and injury healing, instead of training. Hope lads will train smarter instead of training stupidly harder. Keep up good work!

Monday: Jump Day Tuesday: Hard Leg Day Wednesday: Active Recovery Thursday: Jump Day Friday: Leg Day Where do your basketball days come in? Or do they count towards Jump Days? I play volleyball myself and the days I play volleyball are quite harsh on my knees too, so I'm curious if there's enough jump training + leg days in my week for gains.

Use your practice days as a jump day. If you feel like you aren't getting enough jump practice through practice sessions, you can just do extra jumps whenever you have free time in that session. (e.g. jump and touch rim when you're waiting for coach, or after training is over).

Thanks for the good advice. I was practicing my dunking intensely for a few months, jumping mostly off my left foot for a couple of times a week. It resulted in achilles tendonitis and having to rest and rehab for a couple of months. It’s hard to know when to set the limit as the pain pretty much appears out of the blue and not successively, at least in my case

@RiqB

10 ай бұрын

Jumping off 1 foot is a lot more intense than 2 foot jumps. Maybe you had too many jump sessions or played too much sports or didn't keep track of the amount of jumps and the amount of time spent jumping. There's a lot of factors but right now, looks like you gotta go through load management

I'm old. I've learned the hard way about overtraining. Now I take day(s) of complete rest after playing basketball, and after training legs hard. Do absolutely nothing. Even though I may have felt a tingle, twinge, weakness etc in a knee tendon or Achilles, having that rest day or two, heals it right up and I can continue.

Can you do a video on how you warm up before a dunk session ?

This is so true. I jumped and lifted weights so much that I strained my calf.

Stop playing basketball, leg training, jumping, any of that. Jus stop for a month. Let your knees rest until you no longer feel pain, and then do isometrics for a few weeks. And when you feel absolutely no pain, no matter what you do, you can ease back into training. That's what worked for me.

Wellllll you don't wanna be doing endurance training and also vertical jump training because they contradict each other. One of them encourages the recruitment of more slow twitch muscle fibres while the other encourages the recruitment of more fast twitch.

My heart dropped as I was watching this realising I overtrained, I’m having this pain in my right calf which when I do calves I usually don’t feel as much pain as this I can tell it’s different, how can I recover from this while playing basketball?

thanks for the video!

Jump training and then playing basketball is hella tough. I was like that too. I was very fortunate to not have a major injury but thinking back at times when my Achilles were cooked 😟😟😟

Great tips! This is my training schedule during the season. Plyometrics/explosive on the same day as basketball practices, So I would do them both in a day so that I get a full rest day the next day. Then upper body on my day offs. How does that sound?

how often should I train my legs and ploys and what should I train?

I am confused though, I have 2 legs days, one plyo and one strength. I find that I feel pain in my knee consistently after plyo day but its better? Am I doing something wrong

I think proper diet and rest would also help with dealing with over training. Also would 10 lbs pogos be a good start if im already fairly athletic ?

Have you ever thought about just not squatting or deadlifting? Or maybe doing only that once per week max. How much do those exercises even carry over to vert?

Is It fine if i do an High intensity lift day in the middle of the week (4/5 ex. Of 5x5) For example: squat 80% of max., squat Jump 40% of max., calf raises 90% of max., single leg back squat 90%. Starting the week i do a plyos day and at the end of the week a dunk session, I also do 3 trainings with my basketball team and the game on the weekend

First of all, cut down on how much you're doing. Specifically take out any intense plyometrics. These are what will cause the most damage to your knees. Do Isometrics. They are low intensity and great for building strength in your tendons. You can also do moderate weight very slow squats. Search for "isaiah rivera knee pain" on youtube. He's got plenty of videos that should help you with knee pain

Start doing squat jumps and Running approach jumps then you need to strengthen so go to a gym or start doing Bulgarian split squats at home advancing to a pistol squat when you can do those

@bigpapi1058

9 ай бұрын

You can absolutely do jump training, however you need to ease into it. I recommend you start doing weight training, not plyometrics. This is because you are far more likely to get injured in plyometrics, and weights will allow you to build a strong foundation. You should also definitely do mobility/flexibility training, which will help performance massively across the board.

Did you change your diet during recovery from the injury?
