For sure man, mental health plays a huge role in training and life

I really appreciate that you keep uploading workout programs or tips. You made 50inch but still humble. Respect u. I can be soon known by many people with 45inch vert thx

yeah man I'm glad you talked about this at the start of the video. I somewhat experienced this after I deadlifted 300kg because for months before it I was solely focused on it and thought about it constantly. After I did it the weeks after were exactly how you described. Thanks for explaining this though it was super informational :)

Connected with what you said at the start. The weight of gold and the dunk camp hangover. I achieved all the goals I set out last year even the ones I thought I couldn’t achieve. Instead of feeling satisfied I’ve recently been demotivated and distracted, kind of forcing myself to workout. What now? Just got to keep showing up.

Just show up 💪🏼 Motivation will come back up with time!

Love these workout videos, I get to learn and explore new perspectives, great video

I think because dunk camp was my first and I was also injured for most of it, when I got home I was superrrrr motivated and ready to get training again, I hadn’t seen people with the passion for dunking like that so it was super motivating to me and I knew the feeling of wanting to be better as I watched everyone else and before I even left Utah I wanted to train

Working out in the fours is insane.

Awesome video!!! Super inspirational stuff man, Congrats on 50! #JustShowUp

Falling in love with the process is the key. Hitting a goal is awesome but the feeling is fleeting.

Also you can use a trap bar Deadlift, with a split stance for more unilateral work

Never really work on unilateral...proceeds to reverse lunge 275 for reps and then reverse lunge 315. Haha what a monster. Nice vid! Would love to see the knee pain breakdown

People always think unilateral weight training is specific to sports but it is not. The only reason I use it is because it utilizes more abductor throughout the movement.

On my pr on power clean I had so much trouble idk if this would help cuz u are way more skilled than me but on my pr I decided focus on getting my hands really under it so it would make a really good platform and then just let my squat do all the work, and that’s how I finally hit my pr. My arms were really holding me back I just couldn’t hold the weight on the way down as well

use a SSB for the unilateral exercises. it's definitley a gamechanger

im jc i can only touch the rim but im following all your programs you really insipire someday i hope i can dunk like you ❤

thanks

Noticed that 50 tat right at the start haha nice one.

Hey Isaiah, if you want a heavy load for a unilateral lift use a safety bar, and place a Barbell on the inside of the rack and so you have something to hold on to. Like have the j hooks facing away from you so you can pull against it

They are called Hatfield squats and they are a great alternative to smith machine. In fact I think Hatfield squats are better than smith machines because of the unforgiving straight line you have to press

I want to go to dunk camp so bad next year I want to do the vert tests. My goal is 40 inch standing vert and 46 inch running vert. Im pretty much right there already but I’m grinding until then 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

thats why you use safety bars and smith machines to really load up that unilateral work.

Look at your feet as you progress through the power clean, you are jumping forward AKA chasing the bar. Make sure when you pull, you fully extend up AND back, the path of the bar shouldn't go straight up but rather up with a slight curve towards you. Hope that helps...

yo isaiah great vid! I got 1 question..How is your volume and intensity when you train for Maximum strength ? and how is the volume and intensity when you train for power work ?

@IsaiahRivera1

Жыл бұрын

Volume varies a lot, and intensity is hard to measure with power cycles because it’s not just dependent on how much weight your lifting, intent and range of motion play a role in intensity as well. I would say they are around the same however, with power cycles having slightly lower volumes and slightly higher intensities.

Can someone answer this for me, rn my vertical is 32 im 5’9 193 pounds im pretty flexible but im also around 20-25% bodyfat i have decent knee strength and my max squat is 190 but im stuck on what i should fo first lose the bodyfat do plyo or do isometrics and continue getting stronger im 16

@curnon4230

Жыл бұрын

I'd drop down to sub 15% body fat as the first goal. You don't need that extra weight on your joints. Your vert likely will go up just from losing 10 lbs of fat and getting down under 183lbs. You can concentrate on strength and power more than jumping volume while you're body fat is high. Then when you're leaner, you can jump more with much less impact on the joints. I definitely wouldn't do plyometrics until you get your body fat down.

Dude take it from someone who had a 46” vert. Wear knee pads and whenever possible don’t land. That’s bs they make you land when testing. They should have you jump into a foam pit. If you don’t well enjoy it while it lasts cuz it won’t be long.
