John loves to go as scientifically in depth as possible, sometimes too much so 😂

if you learn the science behind stuff at least for me the more connected you are too your body and the more you can understand what is going on in your rehab/training instead of relying on someone to tell you do this lift do this squat at least for me i like to learn about it

No the point is to have tendons that look rigid from the perspective of the muscles, but can also phase-change into a spring under certain dynamic loads such as when running and jumping

Perfect timing haha

Wait not really understanding. Do sprinters want less stiff tendons, due to there being less time on the ground?

@@fundogdog7049 more stiff so that it can give them the force they produce from the short time on the ground faster resulting in being able to push harder faster basically

@@fundogdog7049 you want your tendons to be stiff so they can produce lots of force under short amounts of times, you need stiffness and elasticity for sprints

@@fundogdog7049more stiffness equals lesser ground contact times, but you can have too much, though that’s rare.

That’s the joke haha

It's okay mypetgiantsquid is an og

its mother fking call a job😂😂

Nordics, slow with assistance if needed

More so for one foot jumping

Honestly got the same issue except my vert is 35

A variety of all forms of training is recommended, but to answer you're question (No I am not a professional, I have only watched a lot of videos on athletic/vert training, THP and other sources): It is essential (important) for all athletes as it implements training movements that are heavily targeted in many physical sports (sports that are high intensity and require full body movements). For example the snatch trains shoulder mobility, stability and flexibility , these beneficial outcomes from such an exercise can also be applied to the core (spine and posture), hips, knees, wrists, and ankles. As you can imagine, sports like Basketball or in this case with THP athletes. Can all benefit from this. In summary. Olympic lifts can be seen as a stimulus simulation of training. The difference between a power clean and jumping? Power cleans will apply similar characteristics to a jump however also have a much stronger impact to the areas under load. e.g., it will create muscle stimulus and translate to jumping (which has very similar characteristics to one another's movements) It will also help with injury prevention and strengthen tendons, ligaments, bones, and of course increase the size, thickness and strength of the muscles activated and supporting you when you jump and land. Hope this helps

Also to mention. I personally was following THP's form of training (no I am not an employee or client). From their teaching and videos I have watched, I was able to work up to a 44 inch max vertical. I realized Olympic lifts was definitely a key aspect I was lacking in and helped me get out of my vertical slump. Specificity training is really recommended, as well as any forms of trainings that isolate weak points and suddenly activate and perform heavy loads (high intensity) under fast movement conditions with little time.

Interestingly, a large majority of the best Olympic weightlifting coaches and teams do not perform many power cleans nor the Olympic lift permutations anymore. Arguably the most successful coach in the history of Olympic weightlifting is a fellow that goes by the name of Ivan Abadjiev. He coached the Bulgarian weightlifting team for over twenty years, taking his lifters to the absolute top of international dominance. Abadjiev had found that the Olympic lift variations do not transfer to the competitive lifting platform as once believed. Abadjiev and his fellow coaches were opposed to most anything but the specific lifts performed in competition. They trained almost exclusively the clean and jerk, the snatch, and the squat at near competition weights. Now, think about this for a second: if the power clean does not transfer to the clean and jerk, why would it transfer to an offensive lineman performing the complexities of a zone block, or a shooting guard going up for a dunk? Make no mistake about it, Olympic weightlifting is a very demanding sport. So are football, basketball, swimming and tennis. I have a lot of respect for competitive Olympic weightlifters and I am one of the few people who actually enjoys watching it as a spectator sport. But just because Olympic weightlifting is a tough activity does not mean it is the best way to prepare athletes in other sports. Believe me when I tell you that competitive Olympic weightlifters do not practise explosive blocking, tackling or rebounding in order to better explode into the bar. Does that seem stupid to you? That’s because IT IS. An Olympic weightlifter would not accept the risk of injury and waste his time blocking, tackling or rebounding when he could be putting that time and risk into his chosen sport. And he certainly wouldn’t do it in his “off-season.” Why take the risk and considerable time to perform the Olympic lifts and the various mutations when you could put that exact same time into practice? Lest we forget as well, Olympic weightlifters train very skill-dependent movements on a daily basis, and the elite are blessed with optimal joint mobility and morphology for their chosen sport, on top of benefiting from expert guidance from their sport-specific coach, an Olympic weightlifting coach!!! Not just some “strength trainer”… One last thing… Much of the fascination with the Olympic lifts is related to the speed of movement. Olympic weightlifting coaches frequently admonish their athletes to “think speed.” When lifts are missed, the athlete is coached to increase the speed of the bar. Yet, experts who study movement measure speed in terms of degrees per second. This means they literally measure how fast the joint rotates. The standard repetition speed in our weight room would probably measure about 60 degrees per second. The positive/concentric portion of a 140-degree barbell curl typically takes a little over two seconds to complete. The speed many people consider “fast” or “explosive” in the weight room would measure approximately 180 degrees per seconds. The same barbell curl, for example, performed at this speed, would take about three-fourths of a second. In the heat of competition however, a fast athlete can rotate some joints well in excess of 1000 degrees per second. This is a factor five to ten times greater than the speed considered “fast” in the weight room. That is why “explosive” lifting is only “fast” relative to a controlled rep. Relative to the athletic field it is, in reality, painfully slow. So slow, in fact, that if you moved at that speed in competition you would lose EVERY TIME. If speed is what was needed in order to develop muscles, there would be no need to lift weights. You get speed and explosion every day in practice. Muscle growth, strength and power development are adaptations to high tension and high intensity muscular contraction. It is all very simple when you rely on the facts. There is no skill that will transfer from the weight room to the field. Strength training develops the raw material of the body, what I like to call “tissue force output potential,” and is done in the gym. Skills, however, are learned in practice and repetition This is a video titled "why I Perform Repetitions So Slowly" I time stamped it a a pertinent spot, but I warmly encourage one to watch the whole thing. kzfaq.infoLUD_Eq6qhVM?si=8KAhWKPy-Zw8rWG6&t=1545

@@timijiu9112 I cannot deny that THP is an amazing source of content, I, though seemingly MUCH less than you, have been consuming a bunch of jump training/biomechanics content in the past 6 months. And I as well do not thing I am an expert in any way shape or form. But the point remains that why risk injury, or risk the problem of training poorly

@@maliklepine8774 How does it translate? The power clean is an explosive fully body exercise. It targets every single area underload for many athletes in sports. In terms with you're references. I do not have knowledge in what you have responded with. However since you have the time to learn about the history of training with weight lifting and those who implement it. I suggest that you personally look into the question you have first submitted here on this comment section. Plenty of explosive athletes implement such movements based on the research and studies of it proving to be effectively crucial or beneficial. Since THP trains you to be more explosive they would of course apply this to their programs. Hope this helps

How would a longer penultimate lead to a shorter jump? I’m not following

How

Maybe not grab or dunk, but it should improve it by an noticable amount, so maybe 3-6inches?

My fault you explained in the end

Ohh you explained in the end

Always max effort

@@IsaiahRivera1 thanks

A force in a spring increases in direct proportion to how much you stretch it. A tendon will only stretch far if the muscle has enough tension to become stiffer than the tendon. If an athlete isn’t strong enough they won’t be able to stretch the tendon very much at all.

I was wondering the same thing

Yeah, flexible and springy tendons have the most rubberband potential to produce force into kinetic energy. The longer your Achilles, for example, the better. Giannis has a dummy long Achilles, like 13.5 inches lol.

@@okfine7287 bro i squat 375 and power clean 225

The idea that the Ball is half the hoop. At 9 inches, it would take twice the rotation, plus the 1 rotation of hand adjustment and 1 rotation of the rim: 18 feet would need 36 rotations at 3 feet per second (1 amp); the ball from picked dribble to ball coming back to the floor is approximately 3 seconds total time. Certainly friction of the nets and the about of time for physical mechanics are also relative factors. But the quicker the tendons to upheaval defender HMS; the better the shooting percentage. 🔭💯💌🏀🙏😇

I correct my relative theory to include 9 inches of 12 inches to be the factoring qualities of distance. Theory remains... 🤭🤔👍🏽🙄🤩

Because stiffer tendons wont be able to stretch as far, it means shorter ranges will be able to strain it. But if they're strong they should be able to withstand a lot anyway

Isometrics for knee health

Not really, if you're talking like reducing it from 5x a week to 1x a week, sure, but 1x a week to 1x a month won't change anything.

Do you not see how ridiculous “Will not nutting make me jump higher?” sounds?

If you’re in a healthy relationship go for it and get enough sleep. Other than that stick with releasing twice a week at the most

You’ve actually been doing a ton of elastic contacts albeit at a lower effort level. I would try focusing on getting your max strength up for 1-2 months while max effort jumping once a week, and then shift to focusing on explosive strength and you should see some pretty good gains

@@IsaiahRivera1 thanks so much!

Your cardiovascular system is key for gains and recovery. Stick to some form of solid cardio throughout this journey. It literally gets dudes to blow up when they decide to bulk up and get stronger.
