Thx man, nice one! Quick question: I wanna be able to dunk, and I'm super short like barely 5'2, if I want to improve my vert as fast as possible, do I HAVE to use some kind of weighted leg exercises? Ppl tell me I have to but problem is ever since I added weights to my previous body weight only leg training I've been building up size like crazy which tbh, I don't like at all, my vert has been improving bit by bit but my jumps do feel more sluggish and less explosive than before, it feels like I'm just dragging weight around with me and I honestly don't like it all that much so I just wanna drop all weights (only do weights for upper body) and do leg days with explosiveness only, but is that really enough? I could always add weights in a year or so when I feel I hit a plateau with bodyweight only ig but honestly I'm just scared I will not progress anymore or lack some "basic strenght" by only doing explosive strenght things (I still do calisthenics and the kneesovertoesguy stuff for legs though - love those, would never skip them ever!) - am I the only guy who hates my legs being huge, i have never seen anyone talk about it so I kinda don't want to bring it up in the gym tbh
Ok first of all you need to do weighted and non weighted explosive exercise when you have large legs there is more output potential. you can stay small and jump high with zero potential or you can get bigger and then work till you hit your maximum potential id say do weighted legs but all ways train full explosive with out weights as well so those muscle you get can get the full functionality instead of it simply being meat
@@fellowgames8245 agreed, since my comment there I immersed myself in research on the matter and have come to the same conclusion, that apparently I have had the wrong training method,not the wrong equipment. I should've known bc there are guys that are massive and gave crazy bounce at the same time. I looked in my training log a little closer and realized that I probably have too many intense plyometric sessions (2 intense ones PLUS 3 smaller ones, so 5 plyo seshs a week, huge overkill) on top of the weight training and my regular skill training (I do parkour, volleyball and gymnastics which are all kinda intense on the body and involve some level of jumping on top of my separate training at the gym) No wonder I would feel overall fatigued with jumping. Ig it's not the weights at fault but the massive volume of jumping, so imma decrease that and with weights focus more on staying in the strength range rather than hypertrophy (I was doing way too many reps before with too little weight ig)
One thing I know is if you lift higher reps and have more time under tension you may increase more size vs strength. Don't quote me and maybe research but to my understanding if you are gaining lots of size it might be a result of having a more bodybuilding looking routine i.e. high repetition, and/or lots of time undertension.
I did this training. Harder than It looks man thanks !
But sir why is the rep range so high isnt it better to keep a low rep range for maximum strenght

Look up Spud Webb and train like him. He was 5'7 and dunked in the NBA consistently.

u can do boxjump or tire hops and squats jumps and one leg squat jumps bulgarian squat jumps there are many exercise like single leg hops etc.
Damn i didnt even notice that😮
Is he sikh? Or hindu?😀☺️
5 sets of Max effort jumps for all types of approach, too! Helps increasing max vertical jump, since it's also a form of explosive strength
Brooo😤 had to watch this long ass short to pause for the screen shot
Jesus loves u❤ narrow is the way
wow
those bulgarian squat jumps killed me!
Thank you a lot
What is that tatoo on your chest
what if it became easy and now we need a tough one?
Try adding weights or using harder variations.
Increase the sets and reps maybe
Bro tattoo on chest is tht a khanda and a omm
👍👍👍
