He's not kidding about deadlifting getting rid of back pain. It's been the only thing that's helped me
a good deadlift base and then turning that into cleans for power (I only do clean pulls though. no catch). totally transformed my vert by getting my core involved.
I stopped doing deadlift for a bit due to knee and ankle injuries from playing competitive ball. Then I started having back pain now LOL Guess the pain made me wince whenever I try perform movement and cause my form to detoriate, whether it be lifting, jumping or running etc..#truesstory Gotta get back into it, work on the weakest link and start power cleans.
If you don’t want lower back pain don’t deadlift
yup if u workout and have a strong back and core u honestly will get rid of most back pain and problems in ur legs/back
You probably have back pain from the weak core or your abdomen is just heavy compared to your back that's why it's pulling forward. Same pain pregnant women experience when they are at 6-9months.
No sleeves, no straps, no belt. Just good technique, bracing and understanding your limits.
Bro your mobility is on point too - underrated factor for strength and longevity! Especially for the squat, you're in such a good bottom position man. Crushed it.
That is a tremendous front squat. I have little doubt that very few D1 football players below 205 pounds can handle a 365 front squat with that kind of depth and form.
Holy shit
I know front squats are tough. Man is a legend
Finally a workout video! Thanks for posting! Congrats on the PRS.
You the best thx for your training videos !
I can’t wait to start the thpstrengh training this month !
Keep grinding you a legend 🔥
Love to see these training vids back!!
Great video. Super informative and inspiring. Thank-you 😊🙏🏼🔥🔥
He’s Back with the workout videos! Miss it.. thanks bro!
Man the workout videos are awesome I prefer them to the park vidoes ngl, keep going legend
So happy for you man
Don’t know you but you popped up on my feed. Those are some solid ass lifts bro! 💪🏻
now that school sports are over i'm starting my jump journey! super excited to begin lifting!
Same here
Should’ve been lifting during the season too. Can’t only lift in the off season
@@bendunksdpt fr , some people think you only gotta lift a few months outta the year and expect to keep that strength 🤣
don't stomp your growth, though, this way, I say. use moderate weights only. overall, calistenics might be better till one reaches a certain age, I think, - about 18 )
@@yehor_ivanov you realize that’s a myth right lol weightlifting has been proven time and time again to potential help growth since heavy weights elicits a huge hormonal response and boosts testosterone which will cause growth
Finally a new vid
Sorry for the wait.. call me Drake
Damn for not the biggest guy (bodyweight wise) you sure put up some impressive numbers in the deadlift and front squat!
This is the most important thing for jumping. It’s not about the numbers, but the numbers relative to your bodyweight.
@@sirkiz1181 like the stronger you are and the lighter you are the higher you jump right? Cause I used to jump pretty high and ive kept about the same lower body strength if not a little more but I’m probably 30-40 pounds heavier. My workouts now are probably not as explosive as they were either which could play a part in different types of leg strength maybe?
@@iamjstew___4473 Yes at the end of the day it’s a physics problem. If a 200 kg man can squat 500 kg, that’s 2.5 times more than he weighs. But if a 150 kg man squats 450 kg that’s less, but more when compared to his body weight, 3x bodyweight. So he would most likely jump quite a bit higher.
Too much non explosive weight lifting can transition your explosive twitch muscle fibers to regular fast twitch.
@@sirkiz1181 There’s more to it too. I feel like I’m pretty weak relative to my vertical jump. I’m 160lbs and only squat about 220lb and front squat 195. Deadlifts about 385, which is comparatively a lot better. But I feel like my squats very low for a 31 inch vertical.
Glad to see people using weights for their sports
I train mostly baseball players and boxers using weights heavy enough to promote explosiveness since that's what every sport is about
But as of lately I trained several basketball players over 6'5"' and have them deadlift from blocks and do explosive Olympic lifts
I helped a kid start dunking that had trouble touching the rim before with a 12 week program that included jumping trap bar deadlifts
nice man!! keep it up!!
Your form is very impressive!
Looks good, just a short recommendation: try to "attack the ground" when you're doing your snatches. Instead of doing that wide stance catch that you're currently doing, think of attacking the ground in an athletic stance when you catch the bar at the top.
Ok I'm impressed. Subscribed.
Solid bro👏🏾
respect man, pr deadlift without straps thats so cool to see
You different bro 💯 good fucking shit
Double overhand grip on the deadlift PR damn. Beast
Great hookgrip strength!
Dunk Camp gonna be scary
I have goosebump just thinking about it
Damn bro great technique and numbers
Hi Isaiah, I appreciate the training videos. Would you also mind doing a nutrition video. I'd be really interested in seeing what it takes to dunk from a calorie and macronutrient perspective.
You must be kidding. Nutrition has little to do with jumping high. Although it does have a lot to do with building muscle, even big bulky muscle will slow you down and hold that max vert down. Simple short answer is be thin and do a lot of explosive movements such as olympic lifts and plyometric training.
Just look around, what do all the pro dunkers and NBA players body shapes look like? Not too many, if any, butter boys or Arnold's out there. Karl Malone was the most muscular NBA player ever and he had no hops.
@@TheJackOfAllTrades777 this is some solid advice!
Some 100 meter sprinters have a bulky ish build. Tyreke hill is explosive as hell. But yeah, too much strength work and hypertrophy will slow down ultra explosive people.
You have goooood grip strength, deadlifting that weight with a pronated grip and without straps is impressive.
using hookgrip
His arm width also seems sub optimal. Maybe he’s more comfortable with a wider grip but if gripped right next to legs he might save an inch of motion.
Strong dude 👍
Impressive numbers💪
I love the manly roooaaar !
Let’s go zay💪🏽
Good video. What isometrics do you warm up with? Also wondering what you think about maxing out for a sport like soccer
And you definitely gained muscle on your lower body! Your quads are bigger now !
Nice video bro! Subscribed! Show me the isometrics! I got some back pain as well and trying to get into deadlifting as well to reduce it...
Insane strength and technique. Just out of curiosity, what’s your height and weight for these PRs?
Bro that's over 210kg well done!
nice video and nice pr !! also what do you think about low bar squat for jumping ?
This is epic amirite
Very inspiring progress update. Question ❓ - you double overhand grip your dead lifts, without straps. Are you using a hook grip? Or do you just have really strong grip in your hands?
That's absolutely hook grip
I had a bad knee. That's a good system for getting around and bike riding and improving it with other activities still have a bad knee Imean.
That deadlift was nice. Have you tried deadlifting shoes?
Strong work man. Have hex bar deadlifts been helpful for your vert or do you feel straight bar helps more?
Hex bars are really good for hex bars jump. Velocity hex bar deadlifts are also very beneficial for your vertical. Do like 6 sets of 2 reps of hex bar deadlifts and add weight each set
That front squat is very impressive
Unrelated question, what was your max leap before you started training? I imagine since you are at 50" now you must have naturally had a 30+" vertical?
I used to be a college basketball player and had a 26" vert naturally before I started training. At my peak I got to a 39" max leap tested jump, but was never able to get into the 40+" range.
Beast
Whats the main benefit of the front squat vs the back squat? Just wayy more focus on solely quads? Ive tried with good form elbows up and it is tough..
Boy u strong as fuck!
Double overhand 475 lbs deadlift. Very good!
Any advice on recovering from side knee injury, perhaps a bad hypertension, or a itb strain?
I was doing heavy deadlifts and cleans when I was 38. Went to Germany for a seminar and played some b ball with some friends. I'm 5' 8" and I was almost dunking it. Was bouncing the ball of the rim. Thoise heavy lifts are magic. Too old for that stuff know , but it will work when you can still jump
hella impressive. What was your bodyweight?
Depth is crazy good
#NoBeltGang 💪🏾
Can you post more video your jump training pls ?
Hey Isaiah deep down whether people say it or not ur max vert is bigger than 50 inches imma be the first 2 say it
You sir have a new sub 😏 I'm curious what your bodyweight is my guy 🙏
I have like a 20 inch vert and deadlift about the same as you. Funny how the body works.
Glooks Isaiah
Deadlifts are great for my back too
This is sick, man. Philosophical question, may be a more complex answer. I see that you guys go more for heavy lifts. There’s always this debate between maxing rate of force development vs max strength. Do you think it’s on an athlete to athlete basis, as in speed vs power jumpers? Or with the THP experience do you guys really see more benefits on the pure strength side?
From what I’ve seen specifically in 2 foot jumpers, getting stronger almost always helps. The exception are guys that are at an elite level of strength that have lifted for 10-15+ years and don’t have a lot of jumping experience
I was wondering the same thing but, just my thoughts, if you were to only do heavy lifts and not consistently have jumping workouts as well you wouldn’t see much of an increase in your vertical. Isaiah does a lot of jumping as we see lol so the combination of training heavy and jumping consistently shows the biggest results.
Thanks fam 🙏🏾. Since THP also does power cleans as well as some depth jumps, sprints, and of course 🔥 dunk sessions, seems like that combo works both, more emphasis on max strength but also working that nervous system/rate of force development.
@@shakenbacon-vm4eu people forget that jumping/dunking in its self is a power exercise. If your jumping/dunking, sprinting , lifting heavy, and Olympic lifting you WILL jump higher, even for one foot jumpers. I don’t agree with people when they say lifting heavy makes you slow or jump lower. If your doing all the other things I mentioned in combination with lifting heavy you will jump higher. Look at NFL players even heavy lineman dunk with ease. After all jumping is a power exercise and force(strength) x velocity(speed) =power (jumping higher) people who dunk without ever touching weights do so because when you apply force over repeated bouts of efforts and sessions for long periods of time you can jump higher as well, but it’s not the most effective way to increase vert. (Vertical jump training with weights is the fastest route)
🔥🔥🔥
Big boy Prs
Yo I'm 15 squat 405, deadlift idk I hit 315 for a set of 10, and max power clean 225. Imma 2-foot jumper and I'm like 5'11 trynna get more athletic and jump higher and sprint quicker while adding weight for football any tips? Trynna dunk before school starts
Did you have a Port Power party in your lounge room?
Bro... your Grip strength is legit strong af.
Hook grip.
That's not an insult, just the technique he's using
@@wilfordbrimley6938 Probably right ✅️ That's tough
Ever consider being a personal trainer? What your diet like? Height and weight?
any advice on how to progress deadlift when the bar is straining the fingers? after 3 or 4 sets of 6 reps I start getting bad pain in my fingers where the bar rests
First, love the vids Zay
It'll probably take a few months after deloading to see it transfer to vertical! I notice at my most explosive for sports, my power lifts actually GO down.....
Funny how u drop the lighter weights after deadlift but put down prs lol good vid
May I know how much your weight is? 475lb on deadlift is amazing. My max is only 400lb and I don't want to even try it again. :D too much stress.
Is it ok to deadlift with just a trap bar?
Are tradionnal deadlift better than hex bar deadlift for athletes?
I can deadlift that but I can’t go anywhere near that squat. Always had much more speed then hops though. Guess I’m pretty hamstring dominant
Would you ever max out of trap bar or even use it? Or you think conventional works best for you/most?
Yeah we do hex bar deadlifts as well, will probably focus on it as some point in the next few months
How do you train grip strength for deadlift? I can’t seem to hold on to the bar past 265 lb with normal grip. I can definitely light more with over-under grip.
He does hook grip
Isn't it better to rest when you are sick?
What isometrics do you warm up with?
what are the top 3 plyo workouts that you suggest? I’ve always had pretty good leg strength (dl - 455lb and back squat - 385lb) but i rarely do plyo besides hooping
1. Low rim dunking 2. Low rim dunking 3. Low rim dunking
@@IsaiahRivera1 damn
@@IsaiahRivera1 damn does it really help that much??
i really want to start weight training going to make a home gym in my house cant drop weights tho
Hey bro do you not use front and back grip on deadlift? Like isn’t that easier than only front grip
I use a hook grip, which can be just as good as mixed grip if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it
@@IsaiahRivera1 hook grip is just both hands facing forward and not loosing ur form?
@@IsaiahRivera1 wait no, hook grip is like ur thumb locked in with all ur fingers but it’s like front grip?
Don’t u max in the other vert workouts u post?
My quads stronger watching your front squat PR my broda
whats the difference betwen dumbell and barbell deadlifts
Demon mode
impressive man with double overhand grip and no straps wow.
No belt even
Can 40 years old increase the vertical jump??
Dude, you are actually built different
Perfect timing i just injured my back and now ill try light deadlifts
Try to doing McGill big 3 first and learning to RDL and hip thrust without pain first
Isaiah Rivera preciate it zay also the shirt is so dope
You got hops but I should tell you. I even heard Terrell Owens say the same. If you want explosive athletic ability those seated leg lifts works wonders. I'm 6'5 and I had to bend at the waist to keep my head from hitting the rim when dunking. 40 yo now, that was 20 years ago. Lol
Do you use Creatine?
What isometrics do you do?
Can we train legs twice a week
To get stronger do you just try getting in ur protein or do you eat a lot of calories too?
u gotta recovery smart, sleep 8-10 hour , and cold shower, stretch! and eat 1g protein per lbs u are!
@@hibrucetzenh6170 so I don’t have to really eat a lot of calories? Cuz I’m 5’11 and 140lbs and my metabolism is like the flash lol like It’s impossible for me to gain weight
I’m at a slight caloric surplus and just making sure i take in enough protein. I’ve gone from 178-184 in about 6 months
get enough protein and eat more carb everymeal! and green too
My dude will put a professional Olympic lifer to shame in the gym fr
What's BW at now? Good lifts!
Thanks man! It's at 184 lbs. first thing in the morning after taking a dump and with no clothes on.. because I obviously take a dump with my clothes on.
@@IsaiahRivera1 😂 you're moving weight at that BW bro! Gonna be crazy when you get stronger and keep your explosivenes!
What do you do for plyos
Are front squats better for increasing vert than back squats?
Both are good
