My name is Isaiah Rivera and I have the highest officially tested vertical on the planet at 50.5 inches and am the co-founder of THPstrength, a company that focuses on vertical jump training for athletes.
What makes me a little different from most athletes that jump high is that I started with a pretty low vertical and documented my entire journey on this channel. Here is my journey in a nutshell:
14: Started working out to jump higher for basketball
16: Hit my first dunk and shortly after found out about the world of pro dunking
17: Trained like a madman and hit my first between the legs dunk
18: Entered my first professional dunk contest
19: Knee pain almost made me quit dunking
20: Met my coach John Evans, who helped me get rid of knee pain
21: Won my first international dunk contest
22: Tested a 48 inch vertical and started coaching full time
24: Tested a world record 50.5 inch vertical
The reason I make so much free content about jumping higher now is because it’s a resource I wish I would’ve had when I was in high school that would’ve prevented a lot of unnecessary mistakes and injuries.
My mission is to share my passion and love for dunking and training and to make dunking an officially recognized sport.
I hope that I can be an inspiration for your jump training and dunking journey,
Isaiah
Hey I can dunk 10ft at 5'7 and have a vert of around 40-42inch at 16, you have been a massive inspiration for me to reach this and helped me so much with all your information. Thank you
My build is very similar I'm 5'7 at 17 with around a 39 inch vert I can dunk off of a lob. But what is your standing reach?
@@esraeluzumaki2121 7'1
@@adenschaap9040 no way
@@adenschaap9040 probably like 7'5 no way is it 7'1 or you have trex hands

Love seeing the uploads. Been using THP for a while. Keep it up 👍
Glad you're liking them 🙏
Good work Man!!
Im 14 (15 in january) and 6ft. I live in Poland and when i jump i can almost grab the 10ft rim (its been like this for like 4 months). My fingers are a little over it, but i cant grab it. My problem is that i have way to much school to go to the better gyms at my area, and i need to go to the one nearest one. That gym is allright but its really small and i cant squat in there. Another issue is the weather, and the fact that there are no indoor courts where i live so im kinda isolated from basketball ( i can only play at tuesdays, when i have bball pratice at my school). But still, from watching your vids i improved so much and i wanted to thank you.
Bro was born in 2008
Awesome Workouts Buddy!
Another good training video!
I'd really appreciate it if you can do a video on rehab of ankle sprains, I had a horrible one more than a year ago and it still bothers me
I’m not an expert but I’d say start slowly working on mobility and strength on both sides so like calf raises tib raises and stretches or just full rom weight movements, also low level plyometrics like pogo jumps
@@curtisbrosious8360 I did all the basic and advanced exercises I could find, probably I need a doctor's advice to fix my tendons more than training sigh. I know Za had a sprained ankle for a few occasions, so I just need some story and experience sharing maybe
got a video idea thqt wud be intereting. cud u do a basketball shoe tier list, it would mean a lot coming from a pro dunker like u
I am a fan
Thanks for the video! I would like to ask a question about my jumping. When i try to dunk my approach speed is really slow (even tho i run really fast and practiced my jump technique for a long time). Do you have any tips or exercises that can improve approach speed?
I was training really hard for the last 2 months so I added a few inches to my vert, now I have shin splints and lost all the work I did. I was reaching 3.13m before now I reach around 3.04m, I keep training but I think I should stop because during training my shins hurt a lot.
Load management!
Do tib raises
Maneuver for life 🫡
I just got a 405 deadlift two days ago a 16
Good.
Hello! You have been a great inspiration for me, and I went from not touching rim to 2 handed dunking on 9'11 rims. The only problem I have is when I do isometrics before my lifting, it gives me pain during the workout. Is there any way for me to fix this, or should I just move the isometrics to the end of the workout?
That's really strange man! Watch out cuz maybe isos aren't ur thing so my advice is stop doing them and see if its better, remember we are all different
Or maybe put less weight during the isos, youre maybe overloading your tendons over their capacity ?
@@Ippomak26 Next time I will try putting less weight, hopefully it works. Thanks!
What’s your weight ? Bro you’re an inspiration, squatting 405!? Tall and slim. Getting my squat up is a goal of mines too. Stuck aT 325. But I can see why you be doing those crazy dunks. Squaring double your body weight!!
Thank you
In the beginning when your using the box,are you flexing your glutes and pushing hips forward?
I'm 6'3 and i can touch the basketball rim that's the max i can jump😬 but i'm trying to do my best
Like bro can u give me some advice when it comes to Achilles pain? I stretch, I stop playing ball, I dont heavy lift anymore. I also do plyos twice a week I've ran out of ideas. Anything will help please bro
Watch my knee pain video, the same principles apply but instead of doing squats you do calf raises, and achilles isometrics
I know it’s a vertical jump / dunk channel, but you ever train upper body. I think it would be cool to see every now and then.
I do actually! Might include one here soon, its a big part of of my progress recently
Isaiah I was wondering if you take any supplements as a lifter or just for dunking and health. Do you take creatine because it’s supposed to help with explosive movements and if you don’t I would like to see you try. You can do the research and make a video about if it is good and shows results. Love you bro
I just take creatine and protein
제자리 멀리뛰기도 동일한 운동인가요?
hi dear😊 Im 14, If i lift heavy weights, will my growth stop???
is there any balance tips for the pin squats?
Props
I just realized I have been doing pin squats wrong on my cycle 😂. I started from the pins instead of lowering to the pins so my first rep was extremely difficult lol oops. Yeah I felt it in my back a lot too so I used a belt, no pain, but that dead start from the bottom is toughhh.
That still might've been correct! This one was specifically focusing on the eccentric.
@@IsaiahRivera1 no it wasn’t these specifically but I was doing the pin squats at half squat starting from the pins/safety bars at my half squat position and pushing up from there instead of unracking from the J hooks and then lowering to the pins and pushing up for my first rep. Still got a great stimulus tho with the supramax load🤣 I made it harder than it needed to be.
Naw bro those are a type of pin squat that address that level of your squat progression,they are hard af. As long as no unusual pain your good to go. From my understanding where ever your weakness is adjust the pin to that height and rep from there.
@@justbreathe8835 yeah I understand what I did wrong now thanks tho
@@athletic_doc that's called an Anderson squat. Nothing wrong with it to be honest.
What excersises would be best for someone with a longer achilles
We don’t customize workouts based on that trait
We look at other qualities like current strength levels, RFD, elasticity, coordination, training age, and injury history
@@IsaiahRivera1 alright 👍👍
Why barbell squad make me heavy i lost my vertical
Bro said only 10’8 off Vert man I’m lucky to grab rim off Vert lol
👍
How about the insane amount of buttwink at 8:10?
Bro got some nice cakes.
Can’t take my eyes off the fact that he’s wearing Jordan’s to do drills in. Very unadvisable.
I definitely don’t recommend training in those shoes lol
