Bit biased here because I play volleyball, but it would be cool to see how much harder you could spike a ball after x amount of days. You could work on your technique and do strength training so it could be a good challenge.

I think it'd be cool if you did a sort of "check-in" with previous challenge results if your current challenge had any overlap. Like after all the Vertical Jumping, you include another 100M sprint to check and see if your time improved as a small snippet in the video just as a way to show continuity from previous goals.

My 14 year old (at the time) son undertook the VertShock plyometric program last summer and gained 4.5" on his standing vertical jump. He went from consistently touching the bottom of the 'box' that holds up the rim to grabbing rim regularly. Now at just turned 15 and continuing the 'maintenance' workouts nearly every week he dunks pretty consistently just after warming up. To be fair he is now 6'2" and plays in AAU Select or Elite tournaments pretty much every weekend.

just work on your explosive movements more but also get in the weight room either barbell squat or heavy squat start off light and spam the hell out of the squat aka hit it 8 sets of 4, and gradually every week add 5 pounds to what you can squat, i went from plateau 205 to 260 a year later but it takes time especially if you don't workout consistently, defiantly rest ice and stretch work on your mobility as well

Love to see you grind brother ! keep it up !

Plyometrics are amazing! My max vertical, from my junior to senior year in HS, went up 5.5 inches. My level of quickness was helped even more than my jumping. Plyometrics max out your performance and they were extremely valuable for me. They helped me get a scholarship to a good university. Thanks for the video.

Couple inches over the rim at 5'9 is pretty damn good

Really cool and well made video! One thing I really would recommend you to implement is squatting. Especially quarter and half squat. Works amazing to improve vertical jump.

You should also consider working on your run up form! At the beginning of the video, you ran up on the basket and there is some tweaks that could really improve your vertical! Your cinematography has been improving! Looks great! Keep it up man.

Congrats man! I am gonna try this thank you so much for the help!

Disappointed that your personal trainer shaun didn’t prepare your joints for the plyometrics which caused your knee pain. He should’ve also taught you proper jumping technique. If you did some isometrics and joint health the first few weeks and you learned the proper jump technique, you’re results would’ve been significantly better and pain free.

Love the video! However, as a physical therapist, I would say that I definitely recommend doing plyometric/agility/explosive drills on real grass. Artificial turf gives you a much higher chance of serious injury to your ligaments, tendons, menisci, etc

This was absolutely fantastic! Now that you've spent some considerable time doing this, please can you confirm that jumping up onto those foam boxes is a completely different type of jump when compared to the hand reaching up type of jump you did at the start and the end? Also, which one do you rate as indicating how "springy" a jumper is?

Jumping technique would have helped so much in this. Most specifically applying dorsiflextion as you load up, most effectively using your lower bodys range of motion to spring up.

Thanks for the info 👍

Nordic and Reverse Nordic Curl progressions (only the eccentric parts), forward and backward sprinting, and Tibialis raises. These can all be done at home, the eccentrics help with knee pain/injury prevention and they are probably a bit more effective than any nba player inspired routine. NBA players have worse verticals than other athletes like NFL players and Olympic lifters

Nice video!

That was a really cool video

A thing you should try is using volteren and wear a small knee brace for support it works for me I think you should try it love the vids 😁

Love your videoes

You missed your calling bro, Comes from genetics & starting early but commend you on keeping in shape at such an old age !!

The knee thing happened for me during a basketball season, I just wore a patella band it helped a lot until I could rest

Thanks for share your challange, I love basketball, and I have a similar challenge, and I found these video looking what are doing others and what are the new technics. I am 46 years old, I want to dunk again as I used to do 23 years ago. At that time my vertical jump without steps was 24’’ and máximum jump 33’’ now 24’. I going to try to share my advances and nice to know than others are similar targets.

Good job 👍

if you have knee pain relating to your tendon what ive found to be really useful is too put apply heat to that area, The heat promotes blood flow to that area of your knee which doesnt usually get that much blood flow. That combinedwith any tendon strengthening exercise should both heal and bulletproof yoour knee

I think a vertical is highly important in basketball not just for dunks but driving to the basket for layups…it is important to be able to get around and above the tallest defender on the team

Nice work I'm trying to bounce back after torn Achilles

inspiring!

Deadlift and cleans help your vertical lots of pro dunkers recommend it I can dunk and it only took me a month to get from grabbing rim to punching it

Performing depth jumps with less than one month of jump training experience definitely increases the probability of developing patellar tendinopathy. Tendons do not respond well to sudden changes in load intensity, loading rate, and load volume.

Great, respect

you gotta keep doing this and get to the point youre dunking , would love to see that

I think if you want to get better at something, you just have to do that something regularly. I started playing volleyball about 4 times a week. Before I started I could just barely touch the ceiling in my garage with the tip of my middle finger by doing a running jump. Now 4 months later of playing vball, I can lay all 5 fingers on the ceiling from a standing jump alone. Perhaps I can improve even more with specialized training, but just jumping alone will give very nice results.

ITS DUNK TIME! you got this

Bro can you share your week to week schedule on your over all body workout?

Continue and better pls

Increase shot % from different areas of the court. From both inside and outside the three point line

This is cool and all but you should do something that serves the greater good like do a 90 day cycle of ‘hims’. I’m sure a lot of your subscribers would love to see that

You could get on ATG for cheaper and healthier results. They focus on health first and performance second. Ultimately what you want is consistent improvement with even healthier feeling joints (in particular knees).

Dam lol I still remember while a teen, I could grab the rim (only 6.1) and never did specific training, was only kids playing ball for fun. Now at 35 after leaving the gym (going for 5 years) to stay more time with my kids while they r so young, I can barely touch the net 🤣 This gives me a goal for later on, thx 🙏

Finally a nice goal

Inspiring

I wish jumping made more sense, I have been able to dunk since I was 14 and I’m only about 6’0”. I never trained jumping it was always just natural to me. I have friends with similar builds or even taller than me who have worked for years to try to train to get it but no luck. Love the videos as always! I’ve been dealing with serious knee pain lately too.
