On a side note, jumping is a very explosive movement, it's meant to put a strain on our legs, especially at the joints. Although Quarter Squat and Half Squat increase our Strength corresponding to 1-foot and 2-foot jumps, the principal behind this is making us generate more force from that angle, and this very mechanic is what cause muscular imbalance. Deep squat changed my game, my whole legs adapt to a spike in force so I can jump higher with less knee pain. This is why John said the other day that training like a bodybuilder actually makes you jump higher. The original way an athlete train is to milk as much strength and power phase for their current amount of muscle, but slow and controlled deep squat close to failure would build a more stable foundation for Power Clean to shine (but of course, do Power Clean at the start of your session, not after deep squat, its effect is meant for the next session).
Hey Isaiah, I love your videos and just wanted to say I’ve had a similar background to you. I would dunk on adjustable hoops for hours a day from 5th grade on and would always try to push higher. My height has peaked at 5’6 1/2 with a 7 foot standing reach and have dunked 15+ times on a 10 foot rim. I would love to test my approach vertical one day. I’m almost sure it’s over 40 inches.
Looks like a training plan for running or biking, where you spend the first part building volume at low intensity, and then you add and increase intensity up till 2-3 weeks before your race event.
Interesting discussion. It is interesting how zay responds to the slower side of force velocity curve . I wonder how he would respond to overspeed but maybe that is just like plyos with two foot jumping which usually just improves his one foot . Sprinting is maybe the fastest but also less specific but still would be interesting to see like his flying 10m improve and how that impacts his jumps at all everything else held the same
To me if nothing else it's worth it to allow that exercise to become more simulative again. I just did squats for the first time in 3 weeks in which I was doing other lifts, and even took 3 days off over Christmas. There was basically no drop off in performance, and the stimulus I received is nuts. I know I will quickly be above where I was at the end of my cycle, where I was starting to stall.
Hack squat IS really hacking. I can deep squat up to 617 lbs but that' because I can rest at the bottom position and stand up easier since there's no tilting back and forth. It translate into 275 lbs on a standard barbell which is crazy. I guess hack squat is the best tool when it comes to quads hypertrophy. Just like how the smith machine works, it takes away a lot of the stability involved in a lift so we can focus more on just firing our quads. But by all means, do both, both are good!
JOHN you need to look into electro stimulating, not for the inexperienced. EMS. Ive over volted mine with crazy results. ISAIAH try arm weights when jumping.
Thats what I am doing rn. I went from 225 to 315 on backsquat in 3 months and also had my first dunk at around 275 1rm.. I power clean 2x a week but my form sucks, so I am only practicing with 135. I wonder how much vert gains I can squeeze out with mainly pushing these 2 lifts.
@@OkOk-xf6xnI think low 40s is possible. I want to push my squat till 405 and poweclean atleast 225. I dont really know what new stimuli I should add. I jump regularly as well. I am 6ft, with around 6ft2 wingspan and am weighting 180 lbs
@ love the attitude!! Yes sir 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 you guys inspire me I may not know you however I know you are out there striving for greatness doing what you love that’s what matters in life
Indeed it's more the other way around! Squat strength is very overrated. There are many 40+ jumpers without a decent squat. And there are a huge amount of athletes with good squat numbers but not reaching close to 40.😮 It's not uncommon to see people having a 2x BW squat but only mid 20 vert! Vertical jumping is not weightlifting! Not even close! Its the same problem with sprinting and jumping. They are much more different than many people think they are.
GLORY!!!'m favoured, $140K every 3weeks! And I am retired i can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America 🇺🇸 ❤️
Hello, how do you achieve such biweekly returns? As a single parent i haven't been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong.

Hey how about doing extensive running or like tempo run affect your vertical? Adding more elasticity?
Happy new year guys, it's been an incredible year thanks to you! Keep it up!🎉
JOHN you need to look into electro stimulating, not for the inexperienced. EMS. Ive over volted mine with crazy results.
ISAIAH try arm weights when jumping.
I just squat and clean primarily now, seen a 6 inch improvement in my vertical. Plus the hormonal response after cleaning goes insane.
how frequently do you train?
@ clean every single day if I feel adequately rested and recovered, squat once a week.

@ you can easily get to mid 30s after that results might taper and you have to introduce new stimuli

So you’re saying power lifters have the potential to get way better if they trained like THP 🤔
THP is great for jumping higher only, but not for breaking power lifting records.
There is good wins and bad wins
Good losses and bad losses
Just like there is good athletes who happen to jump high
They aren't the highest jumpers but Blaine McConnell can jump out of the gym. @15:12
Where's my 40 year old + gang? 🙋 no, aww, just me 😢

Is it possible to hypothesize a proportion on the squat maximum and the cm increase on the vertical jump?
Happy new year🎉
They already made a formula abt that in an excel spreadsheet, you can check it and type out the data required

Thanks to you Isaiah I'm able to dunk a football on a 9'9 rim at 15
wouldn't be a THP podcast without John's dog interrupting 😂
How long should a phase of say squatting and cleans be then until you should switch up your training??
they say 6-8 weeks
Muscles fascia tendons nervous system all of that need to be stressed in different ways heavy light etc flexibility
Imagine celebrating with your family
They are family 😊
I'm gay and no one will know
Ain t you the guy i went to college with ?!?
