lots of ppl think about external body fat. might be close to 5 for a lean athlete. but the true bodyfat percentage is with the visceral one. and being under 10 is already kinda low.

All around 12 minimum

None of them are single digits bodybuilders are usually around 5-7% for shows and under 3% your body can’t function

None of those guys are single digits.

Also the fact that the human male body needs at least 5% to survive

They’re so clutch

Quarter Squat 545x8 Deadlift 495x5(not max reps) Bench 270lb pause bench on last set of pyramid Pullups 130-140lbs dips 160-165lbs Max vertical I had was between 39-41 at the age of 30

5'8 highest ive done for half squats are 245lbs and my vert is like 32", so yes this makes sense. DAMN I GOTTA SQUAT MORE!!

@@Jon_N_TV most people with natural 36-38 Inch got it all from playing basketball and dunking on all rims. Weight training plays a role , but for most people I think it's from over working their body and doing more steady state cardio vs anerobic cardio. Both highest jumpers I know never touched a weight and can jump over 40 inches(track athletes)

@@Jon_N_TV I’d say if you bring that 245 lbs up to 315 lbs for a few reps plus start dunking a low rim you could dunk in about a year I’d say but idk how close you are

💪 dang that’s some solid numbers dude. I believe I will get to them one day !

Gotta stay disciplined 💪🏼

all that lifting just to be 5'10 and still cant dunk

@@suppressed_viii gotta work for it bro

@@suppressed_viiihes nearly there

@@domidunks im 6'2 195 and i can dunk and ive been lifting for a month

@@suppressed_viii your not him

I don't have verts like these guys but I'm an athlete who's been in the gym for years. From the numbers it sounds like you are a beginner so you don't have to worry about adding a ton of different routines for a while. The basic compound lifts will carry you for at least a year of consistent gains. When you realize where you are lacking (bottom of a deep squat, explosiveness, stability) then you should add in supplementary exercises

What time in the clip?

i mean knees over toes guy doesnt even have a high vertical

@@ayoooo704 the “success leaves clues” comment 😂

@@Jon_N_TV really? I love john but kneesovertoesguy has way better jump mechanics than him as a coach. He can dunk off all plants really well, which john cannot do. Im sure if he specialized in one style of jump he could maybe get whatever you would consider a "high vertical"

John vs Ben… John would smack him at his best off one foot. He has windmilled, 180 cuff milled, eastbay on 9’8, tomahawk, etc. And has made actual recorded progress on his vertical, Ben hides genetic ability behind his knee pain sob story

how much do those cost and where can you get them? Sounds interesting.

Get that NFL bodyfat shit out of here. Isaiah said it himself, and I would agree, that he is around ~10% bodyfat. 8-12% probably captures the correct answer. 3% is very close to death and 5% is what the top of bodybuilders go down to for competition.

@@jakob9942he’s definitely under 10% bro

⁠@@jakob9942Bodybuilders also have titanic sized muscles. 6-7% is not crazy for active track type athletes.

@@jakob9942 I'm just going by what the trainer said in the video, that Bod Pod gave Isaiah a 3% measurement and that the error is 1-2%.which is what I read also. Cheers.

@@timothypollock8358 you are just incorrect, cheers. there are only a handful of people on planet earth who have been 3-5% body fat, most of which are on stage body builders after months of intense cutting. if he was 5% body fat, he would look like an anatomy chart. people this lean do not look human, veins everywhere, striations on top of striations, as the previous comment said, he is probably 8-12%. the fitness industry has made people completely delusional.

Practice! Don’t dunk with your other hand at all and within a week you’ll be way better

My friend. You absolutely NEED to low rim dunk and lift. There is no way around it. And it is probably gonna take about a year before your slamming the hell out of it

@@charlesborel8493 thanks I’ll keep working

Your standing and max vert are way too far apart

@@zbjzjdjdydhdhdhhs8855 tis the struggle of 1 foot hops

Bro tf how are you training to get that insane jump with that lift?

​@@redlp1118 I'm a one foot jumper so I don't need strength at depth, and I feel like my lifts are pretty good if you ignore the squat.

Do isometrics every day even if it's your rest days, look up on Isaiah Rivera's isometric vid on his yt channel. That'll help you get rid of that knee pain

REVERSE SLEDS fixed my patellar tendonitis

@@sfsaviationdidn’t completely fix mine but def helped it

Do pistol squats and jump

No you need to lift and periodize those lifts if you want to maximize your potential ! Plyometrics only really help if you combine them with strength training

If we’re talking about reaching your genetic potential then lifting is def necessary

@@charlesborel8493 Correction. Strength training adds to plyometrics but results can be achieved without lifting. I had Osgood-Schlatters in my left knee since I was 10 that made me walk with a limp by the time I was in middle school. A fall injured my left wrist freshman year of high school so I couldn't bench anymore and I never squatted because of my left knee. By the time I was 16 in 10th grade (2005) I was about 5'6 1/2" and trying to dunk everyday and only an inch or 2 away. I got jumper's knee the same year and learned about a jump program called Dunk Now so I did that the summer after 10th grade and part of my 11th grade year. I mainly did the first half of the program but only part of the second half. It was all plyometrics and, even though I did maybe 70% of it, I got my full vertical back plus a couple more inches and my jump mechanics were so much better and put less strain on my knees due to building my leg muscles plus my speed increased. I could easily grab rim at any park or gym with one step (I also grabbed rim at the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005 before the jump program). I was just missing a good alley-oop to get a dunk down. My knees got worse and I gained weight and got more injuries so lost the vert for years but briefly regained it 2015-2017. I do agree that lifting properly along with plyometrics can really help and may be the best way to jump your highest. I'm definitely adding some weights in to help with knee and back rehab and just get a lot stronger. I just wanted to point out that if you can't lift because of injury or some other issue, you can still get results doing body-weight training like plyometrics, calisthenics and sprinting. I did add weighted calisthenics back in 2015 and did some benching for a little while in 2016-2017 but had to stop. My stats: Height - 5'7 3/4", Lean Weight - 145-152 LB (current weight 199/200 LB), Wingspan - 6'3-6'4", Bench - 215 LB (at weight ~175 LB in 2016), Weighted Pull ups - 100 LB, Weighted Dips - 145 LB, Squat - ~95 LB (knee pain so never did much), Max Vert - 35-37 inches, I don't remember my standing reach, only that it was over 7 feet.

Bro, if you have a 36” vertical and do a proper “strength training” program you’ll be hitting 400 lbs squat in six months from now.

How you jump so high with that strength?

No at u deadlift 105 but bench 135 ? That’s wild

@@zuko_fraggs a lot of people either don’t know how to pull or think their back is made of glass

@@redlp1118 Genetics and Volleyball I would say. But I just havent been at the gym much.

your vert is probably anywhere between 36 and 43

@@veramiiI take it

Find someone who can do dry needling. 2 sessions and you'll be good

The isometric/amortization phase of the squat (getting out the hole) is super useful so a normal squat def better.

​@@isaakvanwegen2784a box squat is better for vertical jump than a regular squat . Don't give advice if you don't know, the reason is from the range of motion and one neglects the top portion of the lift and the box squat doesn't and the range of motion is more specific to jumping. Anything under 1 second doesn't translate to vertical jump when moving weight as far as a 1 on 1 carry over. You need to move fast enough to turn strength into power and that's the science/reason behind why a box squat is better for vertical jump and full squat is better for general strength.

Maxed Dunk is: toss up 360 around the back through the leg. I was 6'1" - 147lbs... 🏀

My wife is

​@@IsaiahRivera1 that's good to know!! Big fan from the Philippines!!

Your strong bro if you lose about 5-10 pounds and start dunking on a low rim you will dunk

Get your body fat below 10% while keeping those strength numbers and practice max approach jumps 1-2 times per week for a year and you’ll FLY

@IsaiahRivera1 I have a heavy frame I've been told i don't look my actual weight. People say I look around 13% body fat. I'm also 36 and September will be year 2 of working out. Do u think a 40+ vertical is possible for me?

@@qb5 Yes dude it’s possible !!! I think you should also run some sprints, no doubt the BEST thing to lose body fat while retaining muscle

i think its ur weight thats holding u back, if u can cut correctly without losing significant strength and in a few months training u could be in the low 40s

Lmfaoooo 😂

Austin said he’s down if you provide the steroids 😂

@@IsaiahRivera1 🤣

For real lol no need for 18+ minutes

He had, now he wants to get it back

It’s all genetics is actually not true that’s incredibly complicated now yes you need a high combinations of things to beat the very fastest person out of 7 billion but every man on the planet above 5’5 has the genetics to be able to jump what you need is the patience to train an cultivate the muscle fiber combination that works best for your frame an to train your cns an mechanics to to fire an be efficient enough to get the most out of your genetics the problem with your thinking is low standards an justifying them with the best like not being able to beat Usain Bolt isn’t an excuse to be fast anybody can train to run under 10.5 society will tell you otherwise but people just don’t know how

I can’t jump for shit I’m around 6’ but can barely touch rim off 2 feet

without jumping is a standing vertical a vertical jump can be running

Standing vertical running vertical

If you can logically explain to me how they’re better for jumping higher I’ll switch to his style of training for the rest of my life 😂

nope, squat is better in every other way

@@teacup2686why?
