So true 🤣🤣

that spelling of antetokounmpo is wild

Bro Is thanasis 💀

😂😂😂😂😂

Bro Zion pulled up a free throw line dunk off one foot 😂

⁠@@djephrazor5498 of course he did it off one foot, how do you think jumping for distance works brother

ight unc

It's mad to even be dunking at 40 tbh. Keep it up

200 lbs for your height is shockingly light

4th thing the amount of time you are willing to sacrifice to dedicating yourself to learning your body and the overall process, including the knowledge you are willing to gain for specialized training or getting a trainer w/said knowledge already and willing to learn more, (perfect example is Isaiah Rivera and his trainer)

Damnnn bro do u play college??

@@xum0007 yea man lol, I play at a juco right now

Damn bro I’m 6’8 230 and can barely dunk I probably gotta just jump more often. I never really played sports growing up

@@Frxnando That‘s not an excuse for being this unbelievably unathletic bro…. please do some plyometrics, because I‘m 6 foot tall, 16 years old, 155 lbs and i can throw down dunks off two aswell as off one and throw down lobs and everything (I even posterized a couple of guys). And it‘s not THAT much of a genetic thing because I‘m turkish, persian and I might have a little black in me, but you get the memo. Especially at your height you only need like a 20 inch vert(maybe even less) to just dunk a basketball comfortably, while I‘m here with a 35, maybe 36 inch vert. So yeah bro just get after it, train like 2 times a week for 3 weeks and you‘ll be able to dunk. Trust me, it works. I believe in you!

Thank you, I appreciate it

I think for 5”10 it should be 170-175

@@Sosa_handles What if im that height and 123. With a 31" vert

Everybody is different

Same but 21 turning 22 6ft 175 any tips

I agree with your underlying points. You don't absolutely need to bulk per say, but it does make things significantly easier for getting stronger. If you're fat, you absolutely need to cut though (in the context of VJ). Might I add, my bulk range was from 200-500 calories a day which is relatively small (would be considered a lean bulk). The truth is the average person doesn't have the ideal body composition. I also wouldn't assume the average viewer is an experienced athlete. I agree with your general points though. Appreciate your take.

"Relative strength is influenced by a number of factors outside of sheer muscle mass" To expand, those factors are: muscle fiber composition (fast twitch vs slow twitch fibers), CNS (central nervous system) synaptic fire rate and nerve coordination. Everyone starts out with varying amounts of development of these factors, but the way you train can further enhance them to develop explosive strength. To do so you need to prioritize maximum muscle recruitment during training, BUT high recovery phases and rest periods AND frequency of training. That means your training sessions should be intense and frequent but short. That's because the muscle fibers and synaptic fire rates required for explosive strength are recruited at a relatively high recovered state. If your sessions are too long, the body pivots to using more slow twitch fibers and slower synaptic fire rates due to fatigue. First start with body weight movements that are very explosive (box jumps, jump squats etc), when you do lift, high but manageable loads with low reps (think 5 x 3 or 4x4) and lots of rest in between sets. Your training sessions should be less than 45 min and you should feel like you could do it again the next day. Optimal frequency would be every other day for novices and daily but shorter sessions for intermediate to advanced athletes. Genetics is also a factor, but since you can't control that I don't touch on it.

Wdym? Were those not the same person?

@@leleg8167 The switch really happens at 0:55, so keep an eye out for those 3 secs...

@@mannyobi6171 I was joking…

I think you shouldn’t chase the number on the scale too much. If you cut to 190 and are super lean, getting to 180 will only cause you to lose muscle. However, if you still have a decent amount of fat to lose at 190 you should definitely go for it. I recommend cutting to sub 200 and monitoring your strength and leanness as you continue to cut. You wanna be somewhere are 10-13% body fat… possibly a little lower

Bro I have the same problem. I have a 24" vert off two feet but it's like negative 5 inches off one

@@silasgaertner6296 i mean that’s just from your vert being low with more practice and reps it may correct itself. Like I used to be able to rimgraze. Off two feet and not be able to touch rim of 1 😂

Because you’re so young and so light, you definitely wanna try to build some muscle. You’ll definitely get a lot stronger in the process . Try practice dunking on low rims and slowly raise it as you get better and more comfortable in the process.

@@JiggyHills thanks man, gonna get in the gym when my exams are up and hopefully put some weight on!

Based off what i'm reading, I wouldn't say cut or even intentionally bulk. I would focus on getting as strong as possible and that may result in you putting on a few pounds of muscle. Just focus on getting a lot stronger at your body weight, but a few pounds might be put on during the process. Don't forget to keep those max effort jump reps up. Best of luck my guy.

@@JiggyHills bet brodie! preciate you

You think he’s tryna get traded?

@@kayfrancis377 that's a hard one. They need him also they know he doesn't want to stay. I say he leaves

I'm a similar size to you and that's why i ask

​@@marionmatthias5608 Ha you're nowhere close to his size lol

Do some plyometrics. Work on your power and decreasing your contact time on the ground. 170 isn’t too big for your height

I’m about the same height and weight. I just started dunking at 34 yrs old because I realized that it’s not about weight as much as body fat percentage and strength in the right muscles. To jump higher, focus on Hip Thrust, Squats, calf raises, Sit ups and Pull ups. You’ll gain more muscle and but should also be loosing fat by doing cardio like playing basketball at least every other day. Nate Robinson for example, was about 185 lbs at 5’8 Barefoot and was ridiculously explosive with about A 44 inch Vertical. Some of it is genetics and most of us aren’t equipped like Nate but we can for sure get our Vert to about 35 inches max and be able to dunk (if you have atleast A 5’10 wingspan)

@@rell4219 Thanks! I actually do all those exercises/lifts already and I am pretty explosive when driving but just not my vert. I guess I forgot to mention that even though that’s my height I have a pretty small frame and skeletal structure. I’m “small boned” despite being that height/weight LOL 😂 But thank you for the reply

Stay where you at and focus on strength training

What is your wingspan

I am 6'2 but i have 6 ft wingspan

@@MJ23GOAT-qf4ik i feel you bro i just measured im 6ft with exact same 6ft wingspan but my shoulders are broad so my arm itself is even shorter, standing reach at 7ft 8 inches so touching rim needs 28inches to dunk prob 38inches

​@@MJ23GOAT-qf4ik have you tried stretching? I increased my wingspan by 2" by stretching.

I like this question. The goal is always to get stronger and overload your body over time. If you can do that at the same weight, then you’re probably around your ideal weight. You have to continue to push your strength limits, that should be your focus. As long as you’re strong and lean you should be fine. Only you will know how far you can take it, through experience. Once you feel it’s suffering you can dial down your weight. Good luck 🤞🏾

@@JiggyHills thx

75 kg is not skinny

@@Unlimited-D-Works Im at 80kg and still skinny🤷‍♂️

@@simon_thebucket bro I’m 60 kg at around 6’0 or 6’2. Adding 15-20 kg on me would make me look like a normal man.

before i gained a bunch of weight i was super skinny so im just cutting and also my lower body is way bigger compared to my upper body.

I honestly haven't measured it before but I do definitely have long arms for my height. I'll probably do I video of me taking all my measurements in the future (Standing reach, wingspan, etc).

Yes you should

I’m assuming you don’t go to a gym yet. I’d probably mostly focus on practicing your jumping form and getting in those reps. It’ll go along way. You can also implement some Plyometrics like sprinting, depth jumps, etc. Jumping rope is good but you will need more intense stuff like max effort jumps and plyos. Once you’re ready for the weight room, the next step would be to get super strong. If you’re a little heavy you can slim out but you’re still young as long as you’re a healthy weight don’t worry about cutting too much right now.

not true at all ja is definitely strong anybody who can jump high is strong in certain ways.

@@ayvol2036 Iverson has a 41 in vertical 😂🤦

@demigodt34 He does

@@PJFort-wi9et yea you can Google it and a I was a killer but he was physically strong he was mentally strong and Iverson was only 165 pounds very light so he's wrong on this one

Strength relative to bodyweight is the only kind of strength that matters in this context though. It’s like calling a elite rock climber like Alex Megos weak because he’s skinny and can’t lift as much as someone like world’s strongest man winner Brian Shaw. They may not be able to lift as much weight, but Alex can do one arm pull ups with ease while Brian would struggle to do even a single regular pull up! And it’s stupid to say that someone is athletic but not strong since strength is an incredibly important component of athleticism. To be athletic you have to generate a lot of force very quickly. But it doesn’t matter how quickly you can generate force if you’re not strong enough to generate much force in the first place! And A.I. was a star football player in high school. How many elite football players do you know who are weak?

YET.

@@jamiedevine Well I guess you're an athletic guy. It's very possible for you to dunk, you just need to practice and get used to it. I'm 5'9 and I've always been wanting to dunk but I could only reach a quarter of the net. 😭

Yeah I hear the Zion case it’s definitely possible, maybe even likely. It’s possible I was just initially shocked my Ja’s strength. Also, when Zion was 300 pounds he definitely wasn’t jumping the same like we expected when he first came into the league.

@@JiggyHills for sure. Still crazy to propel your body 42+ inches at at least 260 pounds like we saw him jumping during that Duke combine. I’m really interested in this suck overall. Would love to see strength numbers for these guys. Obviously a lot of them are untrained, but I bet you they could push a lot of weight squatting relative to their weight if they were trained.
