So proud of you !!!
Hard work pays of brotha !!!
90% genetics 10% training..either way.. 👍🏼
GUYS IM FROM BRASIL I PLAY basketball all of my life im 40 old now and i never dunk but i try hard ... its possible eat? i can dunk still, can i still train for it? GOD blessed you all my friends
Vert Shock changed my game completely! I added a solid 10 inches to my vertical in just 4 weeks. You can find it here while it's still available: ruclips.net/video/XSwHcXpwD0o/видео.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!
Isaiah been leveling up every year he’s been dunking. Crazy!!
Will you reply
I’ve been following you for a while now and to say I’m proud is an understatement
Ong 💯💯
Facts so proud ❤️
you are proud of whom or what? and why you proud, what did you accomplish?
@@goodvibrations6 that‘s what i always think… people confuse being happy for somone with being proud
@@bueri2382 You didn't know that's his Daddy?
Dude casually jumps a 40 inch vertical 🤦🏻♂️😂
*50
@@Washedbog- the keyword here is “casually.” Let’s read comments fully before we start correcting them.
@@dob2664 pfp goes is so ironically good with ur comment 😂
It’s not an official vert. Officially you have to be standing still and jump off of both feet. Don’t listen to what these guys are saying
@@keithkelso9872 It's a max vertical. It says it in the description. The same test is done at the NBA Combine.
LETSS GOOOOOOO! 50 BOMB!!!! Been following you since your early years just starting out. This is an amazing accolade to have under your belt. You worked hard for this and you deserve it Isaiah! You inspire me to get my bounce back I was nearly at 40 the last time I was training but got injured again and felt defeated. But this got me super hype to get back at it and go beyond my limits! Thank you! Plus ultra!
Get it man! Not about how many times you fall down, it’s about how many times you get back up 💪🏼
so happy for you bro! I've been watching ur video for couples of years and seeing ur progress from 40ish to 50 now. For myself I also improved from barely dunk to solid 2 hands. I twisted my back when I was warming up for deadlift this afternoon and TBH now I felt so bad -- why the hell now when everything finally starts getting better. But i feel better after saw this video as I know u definately met countless injuries and other unexpected barriers in these years, which encourages me to not self-pity and just keep going
How tf do you twist your back ? Were you dancing with the barbell ?
Injuries are part of the process man. I just use them as opportunities to learn even more about your body and to teach discipline and mental fortitude. Probably the most important part of jump training is that.. learning how to deal with injuries because they will 100% happen if you’re pushing your body to it’s limits
@@bpswank429 💀😭
@@IsaiahRivera1 do you know any jumping workout that can help me jump higher
@@IsaiahRivera1do you mean light injuries or tendons dissappearing type of injury?
I’ve been watching you for a long time now and it’s insane the things you’ve been able to do and all the dunks you have done and getting to a 50 inch vert, and you inspired me to start dunking and training myself. I’ve seen all the work you’ve put in for this, great job!!!
That's incredible, man! I remember first seeing you like five years ago and your head was already almost at the rim, but this is something else. I just started training it again and I want to get to 40". Amazing work!
Look at my boy. Came from the driveway dunking attempts and now we here! Big W proud of you.
Been watching your videos and progress for years, so happy that your insane work ethic is paying off bruh. You deserve this and it’s absolutely amazing bruh.
you're my inspiration buddy! thanks for sharing your journey with us and keep it up with the hardwork, cheers!
Craziest thing to see in person! 110% deserved with all the work you’ve put in over the years. Proud to say I’ve been watching you since 2017 ❤️
111%
LOL, Got nothing better to do?
i had been following for a while. i remember that time your vertical was 46. glad to see that you had made it to 50.5. keep it up.
been watching you for a while and used a lot of your teachings...went from barely getting a rim grazer here and there too getting 360's easily now...you inspire me too jump higher!
Please wich videos did you use? Im tall and im only getting rim grazers and everyone is mocking me because of it
@@newtonbs2622 i mean bro just look through and watch his lifting videos...take notes on reps he does and just do as many sets as you can of them
I followed your journey bro since you first started, congrats My Guy, you’re one of a few flyers 👍🏿
AYEEEE u seriously are a freak of nature good work man
So proud of you man hardwork pays off it inspired me a lot
WOW! Well done! I'm so impressed AND happy for you!
I sure wish there was someone like you around in 1965 when I played varsity basketball, because I could come within an inch of dunking, but just couldn't get over that last hump. Great to see you teaching your techniques, congratulations on your leaping ability.
It’s a combination of good genetics and focus training plus practice.
So cool that you still care about this stuff.
im trying to increase my vertical for volleyball and I've learned that rest is so important like. after a series of volleyball games i would stay at the same vertical but then after like a week of doing nothing but rest, i jumped so much higher!!. congrats on your 50 inch vert!!! Im 5'8" reaching 10'3 with a 34 inch vert. getting to 40 is gonna take serious grinding. wish me luck
you got it
In sports science theory, supercompensation refers to the post training period during which the trained function/parameter has a higher performance capacity
That’s amazing man!!! Congrats well earned!!!💪👊🙌
That is crazy bro! I have been here for 2 years and you are still insane! Congrats!
Isaiah you one of the reasons why I got into my passion for dunking. Years of hard work no shortcuts or genetics. Proud of u champ u different, I can’t wait to dunk with you in a couple years💪🏿
It is some genetics. He just figured out how to tap it.
Wym no genetics 😂😂😂😂, Im 5’8 there is no amount of work that would make me able to dunk not even on my wildest dreams, u have to be at least 6ft to be able to dunk
@@suislays1907 Height helps, but unfortunately, your last statement destroys your credibility. There are MANY dunkers who are under 6 feet, and short guys have an advantage in dunk contests (Spud Webb, etc.).
@@jakemccoy tony Crosby 5’6 going under both legs🤣 lazy people will always make excuses let them be we will keep working hard💪🏿they put in the least amount of work and expect the best results. Also Anthony height, dom dunks, Christopher spell, jump man chase lmao there are so many short goated dunkers this guy is crazy
@@suislays1907 you would dunk if you trained seriously for like 2 or 3 years no cap. Just get to it. Don't let it be a dream
Isaiah Rivera my man you are my biggest inspiration because I'm an aspiring dunker. I can't dunk yet but I can touch the rim. I am also only 5'11 at 19 yrs old, and I'm working on my vertical for a month already.
Watching you jump like that makes me empowered, and gives me strength to keep pushing. I aim to dunk powerfully like you and I'm always supporting you my man.
I remember my days of high school basketball. I tried to be the 5ft7in white guy point gaurd that could dunk. I could get the rim with one arm and 2 arms, just couldn't ever get that ball over and thru the rim. I was always so close. I think if I had tried in a game where my adrenaline was high I probably could of done it but after 11th grade I was like the hell with basketball. Started chasing pussy instead of rebounds lol
Wow, incredible! So happy to see your hard work pay off
Congratulations! I would love to see how your jumping transfers on a volleyball court! Or maybe even high jump. That would be seriously insane content
Nice accomplishment.
In the 70's, & 80's they recorded vertical just standing in one place and jumping up flat-footed. Obviously was harder that way.
Congratulations on your accomplishment.
This is the correct method, without momentum.
Isaiah good stuff you work so hard you definitely deserve hope to meet you in the future!!
Congrats!!! All that hard work...bet it feels good! Thanks for keeping us on your journey
Many years ago in high school I long jumped against Todd Bell of Middletown, OH. He jumped 25'-5" for an Ohio record. I wonder what his vertical was. He was by and far the best athlete that I ever competed against. A 50" vertical is phenomenal! Congrats!!!
I think training for a max vertical or the long jump in track and field is highly specific to each activity, though they are both jumping activities. I'd be interested to know what a world class long jumper could do without any max vertical specific training, though, too. Also, be cool to see a world class high jumper. Know high jumping is so technical no max vertical jumper could ever switch to high jump and be competitive..so much technique involved.
I long jumped 25' when I was in college. I had a 45" max vertical. As the other comment said, running and jumping off 1 leg is different than the 2 legged vertical jump, but both are an explosive trait. I would guess great long jumpers would have pretty high verticals. My brother-in-law was a long jumper with me in college. He didn't jump as far as me, and his max vertical was around 40". An old article I found had Mike Powell, long jump world record holder, with a 42" vertical, but that could have been standing, so his max would've been higher. This guy getting to 50" is amazing! If you're ever interested in what it's like to jump that high, get on a step ladder and get up to the height off the ground and stand there and look around! It's truly awesome!
I’m super impressed that he’s a two foot jumper getting that 50.5”
I was a one foot jumper and my max was 47”…took a lot of work.
Keep flying✌🏽
Im a fan from the ph. Looking forward for more workout vids. Keep it up man
Congrats man, that work pays off. Way to go, and I hope you don't stop.
Thats amazing. Love watching it.
Quick question:
Whats your squat and deadlift 1RM?
And whats your top 3 exercises u would recommend one focuses on to increase the vertical?
I'm 5'11.... now a 56 year old man.... in my prime back in the early/mid 90s I was able to dunk a basketball any way I wanted....2 hands, one hand, off the backboard... you name it, I was doing it. That being said, here are the 3 ways to increase your Vertical. Keep in mind, you gotta be consistent in your jumping. I was a 2 footed leaper, even though I could get up off one foot, anyway, conditioning yourself to jump the same way every time is important. Once your body and mind gets used to jumping a certain way, it becomes much easier because it's a consistent motion. Kinda like putting your pants on, you don't even think about it, you just do it. Try not to get your body out in front of you too much when practicing, that'll come in time as you develop your vertical and become comfortable, concentrate on going straight up, and again... be consistent. I jumped exactly like this guy in the video... maybe 3-5 running steps then boom..... accelerate with all your energy with both feet planted towards the ceiling. This is a great instructional video as I couldn't give a better example of a power jump. All that being said.... here are the 3 best ways to increase your vertical....
1.) I found "toe risers" on the edge of steps to be a great way to increase my calf muscles. It's literally the same force in which you will jump, without jumping. Let your ankles drop towards the floor as far as you can extend, then obviously, push with using only your toes, upward. This isolates just your calf muscles and builds strength. Do them as much as possible everyday until you can't do them anymore.... then do 100 more. Point is.... you want muscle failure. It's not a speed movement.... in fact, the slower, the better, and if you want maximum results, hold it for a couple seconds when you are at the peak rise. You'll know you are doing them right because your calf muscles will burn like hell. I promise this will help you and you'll see results in a very short period of time. Hold some weighted dumbbells as you progress. 2.) Jump Rope! Sounds crazy right? Again, it's not a speed thing, it's the act of jumping off your toes consistently and doing it until you can't do it anymore. Controlled pace.... like every jump is your last...push yourself.... it'll burn and it hurts, but again, it's a great exercise to build strength in your legs...especially your calf muscles. Alot of jumping is all in your calves....lower legs. Finally.... and this sounds crazy but it's all about isolating your calf muscles.... when you're home, just chillin, walk around on your toes all the time. Yeah I know, it sounds crazy, but think about it... it's like a constant workout isolating your calf muscles. Up steps, around the crib, outside, wherever....who cares if ya look like a moron doing it, ya want results, right? I guarantee you do this chit, your vertical will increase drastically....and in a short period of time. You won't want to stop. So again.... teach yourself how to jump so it feels natural that you won't have to think about it.... and do those exercises.... if you wanna do squats and leg presses for your quads, go for it, but 90% of elevating comes from your calf muscles. Good luck....
@@bobbyscarfo2544 i very much appreciate your extensive answer
ive been thinking about it also sporadically. It just goes against everything you hear commonly. so mixed feelings
@@bastianingerle2907 I wouldn't steer ya wrong brother....I didn't write that extensive post to come across as the "gospel" when it comes to increasing your vertical. I just know that worked for me....may sound like BS....but again, I am 5'11....and my vertical was pushing 40 inches at my peak from those workouts. Look at it this way, try it for a month, and see the results, what can it hurt? But if it does... imagine the possibilities. There was nothing more exhilarating then flushing chit on dudes 5-6-7 inches taller, or pinning someones chit on the glass! Gets everyones attention real quick.... I'm extremely confidant it'll work for you, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time or yours!
@@bobbyscarfo2544 the hurt could be opportunity cost, aka wasting time not doing smth better.
But whats your opinion on the following: a very calve focused training.
Like training all other leg musculature at the bare minimum, just to provide some kind of a stimulus and putting the rest of the recovery resources into calves.
This could maybe mean training twice daily doing 5 sets each session and maybe 15min ropejump.
That would be per week:
70 sets calves
105 min ropejump
And some time walking on toes and classical jumping.
Im in doubt though this being sustainable.
Doing just 3-5 sets calves each day previously was too much for me to recover. I was sore, tight and weak demanding me taking a break for few days.
So overall i guess my maximal recoverable volume for calves is maybe 20 sets per weeks. But i pushed every other muscle to its limit too so tgis might have been a confounder.
So inspirational man, awesome stuff. 36 y/o here who decided to give it ONE last shot :) Used to be able to grab rim, never dunked though. Who says I cant?
You got this man!!
document your journey!! We'd all LOVE to see it
Did u do it? ✌🏻
@@pauliusbakanauskas4893 Nope, didn't even come close haha. Hurt my knee pretty bad, gained waaaay to much wait. Still haven't given up though ;-) And even if I don't make it: I'm working out 3-4 times a week. That's worth a lot
@@tielvandenheuvel5168 u still got this!!
Been watching since before your park dunk sessions with CJ and Steven Celie, I had no doubt you'd do it just a matter of when. Congrats!
Unbelievably impressive! Great genes and hard work. You should be very proud
I'm 5'5, and I can get my hand just under the rim. I've grabbed the green layer on the bottom part of the backboard before with a good jump, I can always hit that green part consistently, I'm pretty sure I'm jumping about 2 and half feet high. I think that's pretty crazy considering my height and all, I've never worked out or anything before. I'm looking into working out soon, so hopefully, I'll be able to improve even more. I'm only a freshman age 15 right now, so there's a lot to improve on.
There are videos on youtube of people that are 5ft 4 dunking, so it is definitely possible.
You'll get there dude. One of my boys was 5'4 and could throw down any dunk you wanted. Just keep working.
The first time I touched rim I was between 5'5 and 1/2" and 5'6 tall (I'd just turned 15 and it was about 5 months after my physical where they measured me at 5'5.5" when I was 14 and I know I grew maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch when it was time for my next physical one year later). First time was on a slightly bent rim but then I ended up grabbing rim on a normal hoop within a couple months I think. My friends were all grabbing the rim so I went and did it properly for the first time. My official vertical, which was tested at the Basketball Hall of Fame on the rebound device thing (idk what it's called), was 30.5" which the guy running it said was the highest he'd seen anyone jump there. I had gotten jumper's knee a few months before that from jumping incorrectly when trying to dunk everyday but I still got 30.5". Anyway if you had a 30" vertical, unless you have short arms, you should be able to at least touch the rim (I could grab it with no problem but most rims are 9'9 even at the Hall of Fame and I also have long arms which help).
And yeah I just noticed you said you're a freshman which I was too when I grabbed rim and you're not far from my height at that age. Plyometrics exercises like depth jumps helped me a lot after I got tendonitis (the jumper's knee) at 16. Before that I never trained my vertical or did any leg workouts besides running because I had knee issues since I was little but they were necessary to get stronger. I wouldn't any weights really (unless they are light) since you're young and can do plenty of other things to get strong without getting hurt.
@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 Thanks for the tips. It's been a while since I've played basketball or jumped at all. I still have a pretty good vertical from the few times I have jumped. It's around like 26" though I'm sure I've had some better ones in the past when I was more into it. I used to lift weights a little bit, my bench wasn't great, it was about 115. My squat was alright at a 205. Deadlift is where I did pretty good, which was a 280 deadlift. I haven't really done much in a while. I'm a band kid and have been super focused on band, specifically marching band. It's a lot of work to practice marching and playing. We just had a competition earlier today, which was fun. I'm one of the lead trumpet players at my school, and I've been at every practice, game, and competition. Marching band is a lot of work. We've spent well over 100 hours from the time we started this field show to where we are now. Anyway, that's enough about band, lol. Thanks for the tips. The best jump I ever had was a couple inches from the rim, I never did manage to touch it.
That is incredible keep training and you will get it easy. It's all about belief and hard work.
I don’t got the words to describe how inspired this made me bro, gahdamn we could stack a couple midgets on yo head n they barely finna touch 12’3.5”
Nuts, congratulations man, all the hard work paid off, enjoy your accomplishment!
That’s crazy bro all that work you put in has paid off! Grats that’s insane bounce
That's head on the rim. I've seen NBA players dunk at an angle that made their head look like it was at the rim, I've seen their head hit the backboard, but this is something else.
It doesn't matter actually , there are players that can jump high without a running start, that I think is the most impressive feat. .
Do you think deadlifts helped you significantly with the huge progress you’ve been making lately?
Definitely!
Congratulations man! You fulfilled a dream I once had as a teenager. Im too old now lol. God bless.
Amazing to watch! You did it with ease! Well done and well earned mate! 🙂
This is absolutely insane seeing you go from not dunking to getting the world record
Pretty awesome! Although, I think most verticals are measured from a stationary, standing position. E.G. No step(s) leading up to jump. At least that's how it was measured when I was in college.
I think they do both
Yeah, it was 1 step when I was in high school. 39" here.
@@malalaika Which collegiate sports that you know of test max vert? I've honestly never seen it.
congratulations your hard work made this come to fruition!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Congratulations, Isaiah! 💚💚💚💚💚
God bless and congratulations! I grew up in the David Thompson era and we used to be in awe of him. Be good!
Working to be good as you, congrats, the grind never stop.
Woooooow!!! Congratulations man!!! I’m tryna get somewhere near there myself! Keep grinding bro
You deserve it bro worked so hard to be here 💪

Congratulations bro i very happy for you. You help me in my vertical soo much. I am vert very happy for you. Really
Excellent video. I’m working on getting my vertical back . Great inspiration !
So happy for you bro you inspire me
This was a big jump! Can't wait to get a perfect apples to apples comparison with all the top leapers. Same reach, same vertec and all measured to the mm to make sure there are 0 questions or speculations. I think you are right there for the title.
That’s freaking incredible!!!💪💪💪
This just shows that when you put in the work you will always get results no matter what it is, congrats young man 👏🏿👍🏿!!
Wow….Thanks for showing me that. I am going to do some weight lifting and jumps right now. No BS!🤗
congratulations dude, VERY IMPRESSIVE!
so proud, no one deserves this as much as you bro !
This is absolutely insane... you deserve to go to the league on this alone dude!!!
Wow, congratulations mate. That is some serious bounce!
Amazing! Congrats🔥🔥🔥
