Good group of exercises, and your point about doing the concentric part of the exercise as explosively as possible is crucial. People should realize that, for something heavy like the DL, you may not actually move fast, but your intention is to move fast and your neural system will fire a lot of muscle fibers at once, which is really what will help the VJ.

Also if you are carrying extra weight it can hold you back, i was 5’ 4” 185lbs and I had a good vert according to my friends now I’m 5’ 7” 150lbs and I jump significantly higher.

Here is a video that can show you all of those (kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZICHtbOpprLXnKg.html), but you may be able to get away with just the stretching and icing. Hope this helps.

Is it a good idea to do some of these workouts in basketball shoes? Just asking because I have a pair of Kyries and people say you're suppose to lift with flat shoes (Van's, chucks).

@NathanaelMorton

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Tyrone! There are plenty of studies on this topic. Some people say flat shoes, some people say NO shoes, and some people say basketball shoes are fine. Check your Kyries and see if they have a flat bottom. If they are flat (meaning no bubbles or elevated heel in the back), then you are fine. Flat shoes may be best for stationary movements such as squat and deadlift, but not for movements like walking lunges, running, jumping, etc. With all that said, your Kyries should be fine.

It's okay! Tight muscles are not necessarily bad when it comes to performance, but they are very bad when it comes to risk of injury. Tight muscles lead to more ankle and knee injuries than flexible muscles. So for anything, do it to prevent injury, because if you get injured then you DEFINITELY won't be jumping high.

Practice jumping more often. Increase the strength and explosiveness of your muscles. That will help you jump higher - there's no substitute.

In order to dunk it’ll be way easier if you get rid of all the excess weight. I was 5’10 185 pounds now I’m 150. Can’t dunk yet but I can touch the rim now. Definitely gained at least like 6 inches on my vert no joke.

@NathanaelMorton

I would start with body weight or 5lb dumbbells. Increase the weights very slowly (5lbs every 2 weeks) because tendons adapt to stimulus much slower than muscles, and your muscles may be getting stronger and more explosive but your tendons will need some time to catch up and grow stronger. You should start with 2 sets of 4 reps, then go 2 sets of 5, and so on. Once you get to 2 sets of 8, go back down to 3 sets of 4, then 5, etc. Then 4 sets. Progressive overload must be slow or else you put yourself at risk to hurt your knees.

You're in a good spot my man. With you doing basketball training every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, you can schedule your plyometric workouts twice a week on Monday and Wednesday. If you have the ability to use weights, I would do weight training + plyometrics on those days. You already get a lot of plyometrics during basketball training, so what would help you most is getting stronger in your legs, posterior chain, and core by using weights.

Unless your bball practices are super lite, ALOT of what you are doing on the court is psychometric work if you are going at moderate to high intensity...doing plyos twice/week on top of practice and weight lifting will lead to injury especially given that you are still developing. Not bashing on NM but I dont think he is a licensed trainer. I'm not either but I have been coaching JV bball for years and have seen over training lead to injury.. Do your plyos and weight lifting off season and focus on your bball IQ and conditioning during the season. My 2 cents

Hi Jade! I know that you will make a full recovery. You sound like the type of person who is willing to work hard for what you want. What you can do is plyometric jumps that don't focus on hard landings (Box jumps are a great example). You could also focus on moving the weights fast (with good form) during your exercises, which will also train your fast twitch muscle fibers. To answer your question directly, you can hold dumbbells and do weighted box jumps onto a soft box.

I’m 5’7 can hang on rim all you have to do is keep jumping train now I’m aiming to dunk my uncle is 5’4 during he’s time he can dunk so mostly it’s genetics but if you train consistent you will get there

I’m 5’6 and 15 yrs old. How long will it take me to increase my vertical enough for me to dunk?

Too hard to say my friend. It could take 6 months, it could take 3 years. You are still growing and getting taller and stronger. What you need to focus on is getting stronger and more explosive every single day. Weight Training + Plyometrics two times per week, stretching on all the other days, eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, and drinking enough water. That will get you there as fast as possible.

How do i increase weight if i only use dumbbells? and the gap between dumbbells is 5lbs, which is not reasonable, i can’t add 5lbs each time i go to the gym

@NathanaelMorton

Only increase 5lbs every month, or increase reps. Eventually your progress will slow down and you won't be able to keep increasing weight as quickly. Only increase when you are strong enough to do 12 reps of good form with any certain weight.

How tall are you and how many sets and reps for the exs?

I'm 6 foot 1. I would do 5 sets of 5 heavy once per week to build max strength, and I would do 8 sets of 3 reps light but explosive to increase rate of force development. For lunges, I would do 4 sets of 10 steps each leg - start light and increase weight slowly as you get stronger.

I am 6’4 and I can’t dunk. This exercises can help me increase my vertical jump. Because my vertical jump is 24 and I can touch the rim with two hands

These exercises will help you. But you should also add in explosive exercises like dumbbell box jumps and dumbbell jumping squats.

How’s that progress coming along? I wish I was 6’4” lol

I'm 5'7" I started working on my vert in a month or 2 now, first i cant touch the rim, now i can touch it like 2 inches of my finger is above the rim. How long should i train to be able to dunk? My training is just at home, doing deadlifts and squats once a week, should i weight train more often or what should i be working on now?

@NathanaelMorton

You should train with weights twice per week, with 2 days rest in between. Monday and Thursday for example. You should practice dunking a tennis ball or touching the rim (with 1 foot, two feet, right foot, left foot - all approaches) two times per week on any day. Glad you're seeing progress!

@@NathanaelMorton I have a question bro i saw one of ur vid u saying that training ur core is a big factor in dunking. How big is it then? Coz i rarely train my core coz its effing hard lol do i need to train my core too?

@NathanaelMorton

You should definitely train your core. It is not the most important, but every bit counts. Your top priorities should be: 1) Weight training Legs 2x per week 2) Practicing Dunking 3) Stretching & Foam Rolling 4) Training Core

Can these exercises be use for weight loss?

Absolutely, but they should be supplemented with proper nutrition and cardio. Check out this video here for weight loss: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmF1k6Wsm5mdYqg.html
