    Vert Shock is a total game changer! I went from barely touching the rim to throwing down dunks in just a few weeks. You can find it here while it's still available: czcams.com/video/XSwHcXpwD0o/video.html
    To anyone who wants to increase his vertical jump as well:
    - Focus on exercises that target the muscles used in jumping, such as squats, lunges, calf raises, and deadlifts. Incorporate both bodyweight exercises and weighted exercises to build strength.
    - Plyometric exercises help improve the power and explosiveness of your muscles. Include exercises like jump squats, box jumps, depth jumps, and bounding in your workout routine.
    - Work on your jumping technique to optimize your performance. Practice jumping with proper form, including using your arms to generate momentum and landing softly to reduce impact.
    See you guys when you reached your vertical jump goals!

    When i was in hs and in my 20's i could touch the rim but never dunk,maybe with a tennis ball, I'm 5'11.... now I'm in my 40's I'm gonna try these out. I was about to cancel my gym membership since all i do is burpees and run now. Challenge accepted. I'll keep you posted and thanks for the research and making this!

  • @chickenrex6835
    @chickenrex6835 Před 4 měsíci +80

    regarding squat depth, its still greatly beneficial to go beyond vertical(assuming proper mobility) because it puts your knees in a weaker position, inversely creating much stronger and (importantly) more resilient knees. not to say quarter squats dont have their place as a heavy loading movement though, theres a lot of value in both

      As a collegiate athlete and personal trainer I believe you need both. Quarter squats are amazing for explosiveness because it can near perfectly replicate the proper depth needed for a two foot vertical jump.

    Hey man just a heads up on your cleans you wanna try and catch the bar at your legs, if you just let it drop it can cause major pain in your lower back so how you put it down slowly is to slide it right by your chest like let it slide down like water and catch in a half squat position with you thighs

    Things that worked for me. I would use a 10-15kg weight vest during reactive jumping and it made a huge difference in my leap.
    People need to stop aiming for the ring when attempting to dunk during training. Aim for the top of the backboard or raise your ring to 11ft. You'll be amazing what this can do.
    Your exercises and what i mention had me dunking at 14yrs old. 5'10.

I have a 35”, I’ve never had to use weights for my vertical, just a lot of body weight exercises, a lotta basketball and a lot of bodyweight exercises and a little bit of Plyometrics. But it’s different for everyone man. I started doing weighted jumps with two 26lb dumbbells recently, but choose a good amount of weight if you’re using dumbbells. I do 3 sets of 8 reps with about 40-70 seconds of rest in between sets.
