thanks! hope you enjoy some of my other videos
Congrats on the progress! Its pretty interesting once I started getting my first couple of dunks clean I took off almost instantly. The same day I got a little rim grazer I was hitting back scratchers at the end. Dunking on lower hoops is a real cheat code for anyone learning.

Would you be able to post a full workout?
could I get your workout plan of what days you do the heavy and they light stuff pls?
yk what, lets put it down here, currently i am a 6'4 guy when i jump the top of my middle finger reaches above the rim, this means i need about 5 inches to have a comfortable dunk. the problem starts in jumping itself, i have a severe case of shin splints and intense pain in my shins, ill get past this ( often i ignore this pain and keep going till i can barely walk ) so learning when to quit and rest is a goal, as well as working more in the weight room compared to mostly on the court. ill update soon

Great vid! I did some body weight & plyos that helped me with vert in the past. I need like a good 2-3 more inches to dunk consistently & will start up with plyos again, as I feel out of rhythm on consistently working. I want to get into strength training, any advice for beginner using free weights (I usually use dumbbells), and is there much difference in dumbbells vs free weights. Also, my hip flexor & ankle flexibility is poor, so I am considering taking a couple months from working out to solely work on flexibility. Is that a good plan or can I still do training?
@jlaceybrand
Ай бұрын
Strength training is a great way to get some more inches but it's not the only. I know people that are far weaker than me in the weightroom but can jump way higher than me on the court. For strength training Aim for 3-5 rep range with deadlift, squat, power clean (if you can do it correctly) and take a long break in between. To me dumbbells and free weights are the same thing so I'm assuming you mean using a bar, if so yes and no. You can get great work in with whatever equipment you have but I found that barbell work increased my strength much faster. Fun fact I'm not flexible at all, can't even touch my toes. I do have good ankle mobility tho but flexibility isn't the most important thing to jumping. Don't take time off lifting to focus on flexibility that's a waste of time. If you want to get more flexible in the hip flexor and ankles do the ATG split squat exercise that I did. Pretty much focus on technique, continue to jump, and get some strength training in. Technique is so important and even people that think they have good form could do better.
@davidopoku-ware2183
Ай бұрын
@@jlaceybrand Thanks for the great insight! Will definitely put your advice to use. I will definitely make an emphasis to improve flexibility & mobility in my hips, ankles, knees, and shoulders but not at the detriment of strength training (especially hip flexors b/c of my soccer background). Also, I am a one foot jumper, so I will definitely put emphasis on exercises that isolate single leg and look to improve tendon strength. How would you balance plyomentric vs strength training or would you argue that you dunk sessions were essentially your plyometric workouts?

Did you do anything besides train and jump? For me who plays volleyball, it takes all I can just to maintain my 35, as fatigue plus injury risk due to volume is a major concern. It also took me 3-4 months to get from 32 to 35 while playing volleyball
@jlaceybrand
Ай бұрын
Great question! And the answer is absolutely! I played a lot of pickleball and I’ve taken months off of specific training before to come back and break new limits. Try new exercises, new activities, new stimuli. If you get too locked in on your volleyball form jumping you’ll miss the opportunity to learn something new by trying something else.

Cool training but to be honest I think you are jumping wrong if you want to maximize vertical, you are not supposed to translate so much. Try to sprint, redirect all the momentum into the ground and then explode up resulting in low translation. Basically if you push forward and up not all the power is redirected up. kzread.info/dash/bejne/laqcsM6Cdb3cg5c.html
