Nate, I can help you. I played ball. I did so much weights and ployometric training that it's not even funny. Your methods are helpful, but they could just use a little more plyometric like you mentioned. And there are quite a few that can give your body that muscle memory, simulation to perform like you were born to leap. I do like your box squats and step ups. They will add POWER to your leap that can help you jump against other competitors enduring contact from them and in a crowd. So, they are good to keep doing. ...real quick cause I don't want to make this a book : - do one legged squats, alternating each leg ( 12-15 reps if you can ) this will help your hang time you'll be able to do up and unders quite easily. - Squat jumps Nate like you were doing with the bands but just do them with dumbbells..helps stability - Hip flexor jumps..gotta bring your knees high up towards chest. While holding light dumbbells is fine ( 15 lb/ 20 lb ones) - Jumping rope cause this will help your fast twitch muscles allowing you to jump multiple times...like a Shawn Marion did. I'll stop here, but I have a whole lot more. I'm a trainer also.
EVERYONE, this guy is legit. All of these exercises are useful to total lowerbody development, especially all the single leg accessories. With only half of these exercises, I already increased my vertical from 14 inches to 31 inches
Any hope for a 66 year old basketball player 2 years out from quad bypass? My best vertical at 5-10.5 in tall player was touching the rim. Strangely, back in 1977, at the Coast Guard Academy, my standing broad jump was ~9.5 feet. After recovery, and the pandemic, in a new state, I have been playing basketball twice a week 2-2.5 hour session with no one else over half my age. I have been doing tibialis raises with weights and noticed significant dorsiflexion improvement, my vertical now is probably 10 inches. At 33 I obtained a Nautilus biceps machine and after reducing to once a week I could curl the the entire stack, amazing myself - key was allowing the full rest period and using the burnout feature rapidly alternating arms while keeping the weight stack under tension. Alas, I left the machine behind in 1998. Anyway I appreciated the aporoavhbif your training technique. I would really like to feel like I am jumping. Just getting to 18 inches would be miraculous, even 12 inches would be a significant improvement. I can still shoot a turnaround three, at least. Great jump training video - much better than others I have seen.
Definitely hope! Very inspirational. The key for you will be slow progressive overload with a handful of exercises that you want to improve. Strength training plus a few plyometrics. As you probably know, as people get older they tend to do plyometrics less and less. Hardly anyone jumps or sprints. It’s already awesome that you are playing basketball - the next step is to add in some light jumping, sprinting, and other plyometrics and work your way up slowly. Strength training is also huge. One of the biggest indicators of longevity is muscle mass, as higher muscle mass is associated with lower risk of mortality. I would also add a squat, hinge, calf raise, and split squat at low intensities and work your way up through progressive overload as well. You may already do all of this, but there’s definitely hope. Strength training + plyometrics are not only great for longevity, but also your vertical. You could definitely get to 12-15, probably even higher! 66 is the new 46.
If you are weightlifting on Monday and Thursday, what would be the best days to do plyometrics or to practice jumping? I've been doing the knees over toes guy workout 3 x per week but will definitely add some of these... but not sure how much muscle recovery time I need. Goal is to increase vertical and dunk for first time at age 34
Best video I've seen in a while. You got a sub. At 58 I don't expect to get much vertical but I love the ideas for different types of leg training. I am already doing some of this or similar, but you gave me some great ideas. One thing - I don't understand the box in box squats. I do the same thing without the box. Down to roughly parallel, then explode up, even jumping at lighter weight. What value does the box add?
Appreciate it brother! The box helps break up the eccentric and concentric (down, pause on box, explode up). You can 100% do that without the box, but the box does allow you to sit down and take the load slightly off of your legs, allowing you to contract those muscles more quickly and aggressively on the way up. It’s great to teach your neuromuscular system to contract quickly and explosively. BUT - not a huge deal if done normally without the box.
I've been doing this workout every day this week making sure to make deep eye contact with the nice looking ladies at the gym. I have run out of gyms in my city that I am allowed into.
Thanks for all the free advice bro! Just wanted to ask two things, number one, if i have a 21 inch vertical right now, how long do you think it would take me to get to 30 inches if I am completely consistent? And number two, should I be doing plyos and strength training on the same day or should I split it up?
Larry Hughes air alert 2 what up haha. That’s what I did as a freshmen. I don’t remember all the exact reps but I designed one for my kids based on it. They are younger so no weights or anything for them yet but I did add some of the banded stuff. They don’t like listening to me but they love UA-cam. Thanks for the video!
Yup, that’s not a bad option. Plenty of ways to hit glute medius/hip abduction. You can do sprints before you hit your strength work in any given workout, as a plyo workout with other plyometric exercises, or with your jump sessions.. all viable options!
Power cleans? Fan or not a fan? I'm personally a big fan as I've found big improvement in my vert as I've gotten my power clean to 225 (I'm 6'6 so its extra difficult) I'm dunking everything now. Also, the technique is actually very easy to learn in my opinion.
I’m a fan for athletes who WANT to Power Clean. It can be very beneficial for vertical jump. But athletes who don’t want to Power Clean can also get some great results without it.
even if you already do this.. jump technique is everything. Where can I learn (in the simplist way) proper jump technique for dunking? i'm 5'10 and can touch the rim but a lot of times its way off. or maybe not even doing it right
I’d check out Project Pure Athlete - they have some really good stuff on jump technique. Other than that, you really just need more reps of jumping. Jump technique refines and organizes itself over thousands and thousands of reps, which is why a ton of elite young athletes are dunking without any ‘jump technique advice’. Not saying this is you, just pointing out something that might be a missing link.
Good video for a rather small channel you seemed to cover it all , as a trained athlete should I wait some weeks or months to start to try for some nooby gains ?
Appreciate it! But no, don’t wait. The gains that you will gain from coming back will just be negated by the loss of gains in those weeks and months that you didn’t train.
Right out of high school in the late 80’s I worked in a hospital as a janitor. With my Walkman on and blasting shitty music I’d do calf raises all shift until I could barely walk. That’s the only exercise I did…just thought I needed bigger calves. It didn’t work, lol best I could do was dunk a softball…so worthless. Basketball, of all the sports I’ve played, is the only one I’ve ever dreamed about even now in my 50’s. Weird. Wish I had knowledge like this back then.
Question. I found pistol squats work my glutes better than hip thrust/RDL. In my training I like to do a single leg movement with Nordics. I feel like I round things out with power cleans/hang cleans but I also have a body weight sandbag and found that while doing a one movement to chest height involves a lot more upper body it feels like a more similar feeling to jumping. What are your thoughts on heavy sandbags?
this would be a routine for just one of those two days a week? or is there any way to order those whole 12 exercises+plyometrics+calf raises in the two days of workout? thanks for the video! +1 sub
Yes: Monday or Tuesday: - Warm Up - Plyos (whatever you plan to do) - Squats - Band Squats - Band Goodmornings - Step Ups - Single Leg RDL’s - Hypers - Banded Walks - Standing Calf Raises Thursday or Friday: - Warm Up - Plyos (whatever you plan to do) - Squats - Band Pull Throughs - Step Ups - Single Leg RDL’s - Reverse Hypers - Banded Walks - Seated Calf Raises Keep in mind that this is a TON of volume, so I would break it up into 3 workouts if you can, or at least do the banded walks/calf raises on Wednesday/Saturday.
Yes for sure. You’ll still want to go heavier to build more maximum strength, and use between 50-80% of your one rep max to build more explosive strength/power. Try to progressive overload in weight and bar speed as well.
i have a question so i have a personal trainer at a gym but they have me doing certain things mainly squats and what not they kinda let me choose but the point im making how do you recomend i get em to have me start doing these things cus i dont wanna look disrespectfull or whatever cus its a good trainer yet they trainin me on more of a full body focus not the only reason i come to the gym focus 💀 so how would u tell/ask the trainer to change your workout to something of the sort to get better results by the time summer starts without looking disrespectful
@@NathanaelMorton my goal is vertical jump i really want a 40 inch vertical cus im the type of player who is 6'6 and 16 181 pounds and i have a long wingspan last time i checked 6'9 but i think it is 7'0 now or more it has to be like at least 6'10 but if i had 40 inch vertical id be able to do so much more easily and score how i want to than having to do all this complecated stuff to score plus id be able to dunk on people
@@peterfazekas9552they are not, they are just hard to do teach and a lot of coaches say they are not worth it. But they are. They are some of the best exercises for overall athleticism exercises with sprinting
This will help with one foot jumping as well, although you might want to switch out the Box Squats for Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat (won’t matter too much though) and make sure you add sprints, single leg hops, power skips, and reps and reps of single leg max approach jumps.
Definitely a machine as long as it can get heavy enough. The issue with a barbell is that normally you do those on flat ground and don’t get a full stretch in the calves. If heavy enough, machine is by far the best!
Why wouldn’t I recommend my own 🤷🏻♂️ but other than mine, Vert Code Elite, Jump Science, THP Coaching is good, Christopher Spell’s program is good.. that’s off the top of my head.
Hey I’m 15 years old on a small varsity team averaging around 15 5 5 5 but I want to get recognized and exposure to college coach and to be honest I’m about 5’10 5’11 I can touch the middle of the net consistently now sometimes I can grab rim because of adrenaline but not consistently. To the point I was told not to do weight until my sophomore year I was trying to see if I can get a free body weight workout plan or somewhat cheap I seen some online but haven’t seen on that goes week by week I have access to a lot of thing at my ymca but just don’t want to do weight hopefully you can help
You can become an independent trainer immediately. There are no real certifications or degrees that you NEED (of course you’ll want to learn as much as possible in some regard). All you need is a place to train and clients to train.
On the box squats, when you give the %'s , is that % of your box squat or % of your squat max? I think I need to focus on this exercise RFD seems to be the aspect I need to train the most.
@@NathanaelMorton one more question about this exercise: how much forward lean when standing is permissible? I notice when you perform the demo rep, you do move forward some. Is the answer as much as needed, or should you really be working to stay erect? I notice that if I don't lean some even standing without weight is tougher than I would expect.
Only son? God has more than one son. David the begotten son, Adam THE son of god,Israel the first born. Read John 17:3: you will see who is THE ONLY true God. Peace

Women can definitely jump higher as well. In the past, not many women have dunked, which made it less of a focus in women’s basketball (or sports in general). Now that more and more women are dunking and improving their vertical, it is getting a bit more popular. But traditionally not many people talk about women improving their vertical because WAY less women actually want to improve their vertical than men.

Just be careful with any weighted squats they can damage your spine with improper precautions
hi nathaneal! do these also apply to two footed jumpers / volleyball players?
how does this workout plan sound,

- Plyos (whatever you plan to do)
- Squats
- Band Squats
- Band Goodmornings
- Step Ups
- Single Leg RDL’s
- Hypers

- Warm Up
- Plyos (whatever you plan to do)
- Squats
- Band Pull Throughs
- Step Ups
- Single Leg RDL’s
- Reverse Hypers
- Banded Walks
- Seated Calf Raises
Keep in mind that this is a TON of volume, so I would break it up into 3 workouts if you can, or at least do the banded walks/calf raises on Wednesday/Saturday.
Da pra você traduzir mano ?? rs
Gotta get back to dunking definitely going to do these but also help my youth get gains too
Does jumping rope work the legs enough to make it an exercise?
Yes, great for Achilles tendon to become nice and springy
Does weight matter on the barbell if im doing box squats?
Yes for sure. You’ll still want to go heavier to build more maximum strength, and use between 50-80% of your one rep max to build more explosive strength/power.
Try to progressive overload in weight and bar speed as well.

Not back in the day, nope. Never did those. Excellent exercises though!
It was said to me that they might be bad for young/inexperienced athletes
Ha! You said "snatch" 😂😂😂 (sorry 🤣)
@@peterfazekas9552they are not, they are just hard to do teach and a lot of coaches say they are not worth it. But they are. They are some of the best exercises for overall athleticism exercises with sprinting
Very overrated..
How tall were you at 15 and now?
I’m 6’1 right now. At 15 I was 5’11-6’0. Only ever grew about an inch more than that.
Is it for 2 feet jumpers only? I jump with 1 foot , give me exercises pls
This will help with one foot jumping as well, although you might want to switch out the Box Squats for Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat (won’t matter too much though) and make sure you add sprints, single leg hops, power skips, and reps and reps of single leg max approach jumps.
Is this workout for in season?
Nah a little too much volume for in season. I have a few videos on in season training though!
For Calf Raises i got a machine in my gym. Should i use that or should i do it with a barbel
Definitely a machine as long as it can get heavy enough. The issue with a barbell is that normally you do those on flat ground and don’t get a full stretch in the calves.
If heavy enough, machine is by far the best!

Use the exercises in this video lol. Also add some plyometrics
Plyo first, before any other exercises
Its jump session 2x a week reactive strength work once a week and weights once a week too much volume?
Are those all separate workouts?

Yes email me at nathanaelmortoncoaching@gmail.com and I will send you the body weight program 💪🏼
How long did it take you to become a sports performance trainer?
You can become an independent trainer immediately. There are no real certifications or degrees that you NEED (of course you’ll want to learn as much as possible in some regard). All you need is a place to train and clients to train.
Was that first dunk the dunk u were talking about the other day on ur other channel? how did u get the footage
We had to get another team to say they wanted it and then they sent it to us. Connections with other coaches go a long way.
how tall were you when you first dunked
5’11
Air support?
Nah wasn’t air support! I remember that though
should i do banded plyometrics daily?
No - 2-3x per week
On the box squats, when you give the %'s , is that % of your box squat or % of your squat max? I think I need to focus on this exercise RFD seems to be the aspect I need to train the most.
Percent of your box squat 1RM! So definitely a bit higher than normal 1RM.
@@NathanaelMorton one more question about this exercise: how much forward lean when standing is permissible? I notice when you perform the demo rep, you do move forward some. Is the answer as much as needed, or should you really be working to stay erect? I notice that if I don't lean some even standing without weight is tougher than I would expect.
Facepulls?
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
Only son? God has more than one son. David the begotten son, Adam THE son of god,Israel the first born. Read John 17:3: you will see who is THE ONLY true God. Peace
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, least any man should boast.” Accept the free gift of salvation today! Trust in his death burial and resurrection, his pure righteous blood that covers all your sin and his victory over death and you will be saved.
@@zbalart6895 watch @InspiringPhilosophy’s video on John 17:3 and read John 10:30, John 17:5, and John 8:58.
Amen
Amen❤
Was that first dunk the one you talked about that you almost didn't get the video of it? (you forgot your tripod)

It’s better to combine, but you can separate them, just be sure to have a really good warm up for both.
OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH. That first dunk was NASTY 🤮

Why do you verticle jumpers never show if women can jump higher?
Women can definitely jump higher as well.
In the past, not many women have dunked, which made it less of a focus in women’s basketball (or sports in general). Now that more and more women are dunking and improving their vertical, it is getting a bit more popular.
But traditionally not many people talk about women improving their vertical because WAY less women actually want to improve their vertical than men.
Terrible video .!!! Unfortunately
How so
