Yeah I fell into that trap you mentioned. I started trying to jump higher in 2016 I made a lot of progress the first 2 years just lifting and jumping randomly. From Late 2018 to 2022 I just spun my wheels, I would just cycle between jumping my highest and getting injured. Once I joined THP I learned a lot about load management, training progression, and what works best for me. I've been doing it for 15 months and I'm jumping my highest ever consistently at age 26.
Hey isaiah would you ever make a video going over the types of dunks, ranking their difficulties and explaining the major techniques behind hitting them?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! So many things from this video applied to me, I've been doing the same thing over and over, my body has not been exposed to new experiences for a while, I haven't been following the law of specificity, and mostly been just doing random plyos while playing volleyball and lifting heavy. This was working for me last year, as I did notice some improvements, but I have hit a plateau. I will try to change my intent when doing plyos, and be more specific with my training as I never really have specific jump sessions. Thank you again!
Thanks for the vid, I used to be over weight when I was 11 and in got into basketball and jumping higher by watching your videos. I am 14 now and have a 25 inch vert and I m trying to dunk and these videos help.
Body Fat level on an athlete is a big deal. The best of the best are 5-6% bodyfat. But certainly under 10% is where you want to be. Lower body fat means your hormone levels will be better too. Body Fat converts testosterone to estrogen, so if you are 20% body fat you are converting a ton of testosterone to estrogen. By getting your body fat under 10% you will have your highest natural testosterone levels also it's less dead weight to carry.
no wonder you are the highest jumper in the world, you have excellent habits , introspective / self reflecting tendencies, and precise, methodical way of improving 👍🏻
As someone who trained benchpress 3 days a week having a crooked back that has brought my shoulder forward I can say for certain do not ever have only one specific training for months and months end my left shoulder got pain out od nowhere and is now damaged for 1 and a half months and my right had been for even longer cuz I went out and injured it again now it's been 2 and a half month of not being able to do anything even bicep curls are hurting my shoulders.
FYI, a new king shoe for dunking has been released, the li ning yushuai 18 ultra x. It is basically the wow 10s with more consistent traction, much better lock down, and better bounce. Honestly, I would bet you could hit a 51 inch jump in them.
hey isaiah wanted to ask if you know a way to help with acceleration i think and pain. i don't know how to explain it but i feel i cant like accelerate or like move fast, but not even because im not fast but its like the feeling of slowness like i have to really really exert to do it and i can only do it for a min idk why but i was wondering if you have tips for that and with pain. when i try jumping max effort i get a pain on my right big toe like im scraping it almost and its been killing to know why that is and i feel like i cant make no progress bc of it and i looked everywhere for info but i haven't seen it anywhere. if you can share some tips or anything i would appreciate so much! (i have right left plant)
Im 18, turning 19 this year. Ive been training consistently having two strength sessions a week, one plyo a week and one volleyball session a week with a 25" vert. I'm still young so should stop going to the gym and just start playing volleyball as frequently as possible?
How to you throw yourself down into the ground on the support step? Do you drive the penultimate leg forward or just push really hard on the support step?
Thank you for sharing these insights. I have a question about the jump training. You said training max effort jumps and you mentioned time periods of about 2-3 hours when you were younger and more like 30min-1h nowadays. How is the pacing for such a session. Is it like you are jumping non stop with only a few seconds pause between each jump for the whole time or more like, you do 10 jumps rest for 2min or something like that?
Hey man love your vids thanks for the tips! PS: bro the Philippine flag behind you is symbolizing times of war because the red side is on the left Hope that you could take time out of your day to change it the other way around
@@SP3XTRO You need perfect balance in your workout to be most effective and safe simple as that. Also isaiah just said in this vid that doing exacly the same things for longer period of time causes higher chance for injuries and you need variety.
@@IsaiahRivera1 omggg you replied!!!! by the way, what pylo would you recommend in training your horiz (like what we said vert hahaha) , like standing broad jump itself, maybe bounding...sprints? And what is your broad jump distance record
HJ is a lot more than a running single leg vertical. It’s a ton of skill and precision (like dunking), along with being brutally fast (which he said he isn’t). With how dedicated he is to training and his consistency, I’m sure he could be great though!

@@dennisrobinson8008 athletes are NOT 5 % bf lmao. Professional bodybuilders are around that bf on stage. Most athletes are around 10ish %
I said top male sprinters, and some basketball players and defensive backs have that body fat. @@jetrouski76
Keep up that grind! You're so young that if you stick with it you can achieve some incredible results.
@@theheebs100 thanks
we are so lucky to have the wr jumper to be willing to share knowledge like this
I been watching your videos since I was 11 years old dunking on 8ft I’m now able to windmill at 15 from just trying to dunk. Thank you
Wow that’s amazing!!
Thanks for the content. This content should be paid for.
Glad you like it!
19:14 I think he was asking if high calf insertions make you jump higher
Ahhh I'll address this in a future video
no wonder you are the highest jumper in the world, you have excellent habits , introspective / self reflecting tendencies, and precise, methodical way of improving 👍🏻
I think the one question was asking about calf insertions like higher or lower and then Achilles length too

Thanks for the advice

You are a good guy.
how would you do a jump session if you can't touch the rim yet 😭would you just work on technique and keep trying to touch it?
In your programming for helping people jump higher do you incorporate alot mobility work?
Is standing reach and height measured with shoes no or off? Great video by the way
With shoes
@@IsaiahRivera1 thank you, now I can say when someone asks I’m 5’11 not 5’9 and a half
Hey Isaiah how do I fix issues with my patella
Im 18, turning 19 this year. Ive been training consistently having two strength sessions a week, one plyo a week and one volleyball session a week with a 25" vert. I'm still young so should stop going to the gym and just start playing volleyball as frequently as possible?
How to you throw yourself down into the ground on the support step? Do you drive the penultimate leg forward or just push really hard on the support step?
I focus on pushing hard with my back leg and throw my hip/knee forward
@@IsaiahRivera1 thanks!
im 14 and have no experience doing anything jumping related. i run track and want to improve my vert (24in rn). Where do I start?
Check out my free jump training course in the description. Watch every single video on there and do the week of jump training 💪🏼
What’s the difference between a power clean and a hang clean? Too many cleans lol😭
Power starts on the ground, Hang starts in your hands
How much can you deep squat and why do squats transfer so well to your vertical?
405 ass to grass last I tested, prolly around 420ish now
New to the channel, what does THP stand for?
Translating Human Performance

I rest about a minute in between jumps
When you say you jumped for two to three hours, about how many jumps is that? IE, how much rest between jumps?
100-150 jumps with about a minute rest between jumps
Thanks!@@IsaiahRivera1
When jumping , is focusing on getting off the ground as fast as possible a good thing ?
Yup!
On the pain scale you guys use is no pain a 1 or a 0?
No pain is a 1
Low body fat, high lean muscle, and plyometrics and sprints
Thanks
Legs are actually insane
Hey man love your vids thanks for the tips!
PS: bro the Philippine flag behind you is symbolizing times of war because the red side is on the left Hope that you could take time out of your day to change it the other way around
It is above the red it's just vertical instead of horizontal like the other flag, rlly doesn't matter
Dayum the most I squat was 455lbs. I still can’t dunk 😂 but I’m not giving up
Bro you are a absolute Top G…..thank you for all.👍🫡🤝
What's the point of barbell jumps?
Sup dummy.
Is doing plyometrics 3 days a week + squats, RDLs, calf raises, etc enough to see a significant change in your vertical jump?
For sure your vertical will go up this way but it won't be the most effective and safe.
@@firehydra6204what would you recommend
@@firehydra6204why not?
@@SP3XTRO You need perfect balance in your workout to be most effective and safe simple as that. Also isaiah just said in this vid that doing exacly the same things for longer period of time causes higher chance for injuries and you need variety.
I think you'd also want a hip dominant movement in there like glute bridges or hip thrusts
Does how far you can jump horizontally affects how high you jump vertically?
Yup
@@IsaiahRivera1 omggg you replied!!!! by the way, what pylo would you recommend in training your horiz (like what we said vert hahaha) , like standing broad jump itself, maybe bounding...sprints? And what is your broad jump distance record
@@mushroommushroomm Broad jump is the best exercise for improving broad jump, not bad for vertical either
@@Qerti100 okay, noted, appreciate you
hey isaiah, how much do you weight?
What’s your broad jump boss
Dude you need to try out for the Olympic team for High Jump
You definitely gotta be over 8ft fairly easily
He jumps off 2 feet, not 1. You are not allowed to jump off 2 in highjump.
HJ is a lot more than a running single leg vertical. It’s a ton of skill and precision (like dunking), along with being brutally fast (which he said he isn’t). With how dedicated he is to training and his consistency, I’m sure he could be great though!
@@malachitisch7494 100%!! I'm highjumper myself.
Im 5,9 at 16 and i can get my hand over the rim and dunk a tenis ball wish me look
