I'm 5'10 and 50 years old. I'm a lifelong long athlete and just recently competed in strongman nationals. Now... im switching gears. I was a serious dunker as early as 14yo. Just a little skinny guy with serious hops... at around 30 I decided that I wanted to stack on some mass and compete. Well... i just competed at 258lb... changed my training and have already dropped down to 227lb. I plan on keeping up the training and continuing to drop weight. The question is... do you think I could, at my age, transition back into speed and agility... JUMPING... to get back to dunking after years of building ludicrous strength?
Of course you could man. Would it be hard ? Sure but you can do it. Sounds like your not lacking in strength so you keep up maintenance on that as much as you can and start low rim dunking asap drop that pride of oh it needs to be 10 foot and get on that low rim and start running a couple of sprints at least once a week included with your strength training and you will jump higher, it may cost you a little mass but you sound like your not worried about that. You can start of your workout by jumping/ dunking/ sprinting for 30 mins and then lift for the rest of your workout and be patient it may take a year or two of being consistent to get a good dunk
How does being active while young impact tendon health or is it to do with genetics? I have a friend with a 43 inch vertical and he told me he never experienced any knee pain only pain in his hips and i want to know if being active while younger could affect this
Is it a genetic thing where you get pain but it also can be from wear and tear so it’s both but the younger the more recovery you’ll have look at kids they little jump off high surfaces when there at the park you’ll never see an 80 year old man do that
As a kid, I used to climb things and jump off of them all the time. I used to take a swing as high as I could and jump out. Never an injury, just really beat up ankles after jumping several feet up in the air multiple times. Even as recently as a few years ago (I'm 25), I jumped as high as I could on a trampoline and jump off into the grass. My legs were really sore for 4 days afterwards lol. But a couple years ago or so, I landed bad trying to touch rim, and my left ankle swelled up for a few days, and I never did any specific rehab. To this day, it's a problem ankle when I jump or do legs. Don't even know what muscles I injured. Mobility training seems to not work either.
Strength, at least lifting weights strength really has nothing to do with leaping ability or improving it. You can just look at any high jumper in history and see that they're all very lean. You need to have an unusually high percentage of fast twitch muscle fiber and that's something you're born with and if you do you can train and increase your vertical somewhat but you're never going to take somebody that doesn't have that fast twitch fiber and turn them into a great leaper by lifting weights. Not happening.
You can also look at any high jumpers training and note a considerable amount of weight training. Strength is directly correlated with the amount of force you can produce. Which is directly proportional to the acceleration of any mass. The higher your acceleration is, the higher your final velocity at take off will be, and the higher you will jump through simple kinematics. I’ve only been working with these guys for a few months and the weight training was the only thing i added to my jumping routines. I immediately broke multiple jumping plateaus and am jumping higher than ever.
@@troliskimosko LOL Nope. The strongest men in the world absolutely can NOT come close to jumping very high. Strength literally has NOTHING to do with leaping ability. You don't have to take my word for it. Go test it yourself. Go up to every single huge, strong guy at the gym and do a vertical test.
bro what? ofc genetics are the most important of your athletic potential but training to increase power output when used alongside plyos to actualize that increased output certainly increases it

insane stuff gents. I hope when you guys are in the gym you can hear all of us here on youtube from the future cheering you on to hit your lifts.
Insane! 320 and 265! Great lifts guys!💪🏀
Where my short kings at?
5'6" gang woo lol
Same bro
@@silasgaertner6296 you close to the rim yet?
5'7 and I'm grabbing the rim consistently now. My max vert is 35 inches, but I usually jump in the range of around 30~33 inches.
5’6 and got my first rim grab today!
Austin my guy 275 is in reach, thats a good lift. Gotta get that 1.75 x body weight. 225 looked hella strong 💪
I wanna be like Austin
Be better
What do you mean Dom, you're jumping higher than Austin
Can you guys make videos going further in depth about technique and progression of Olympic lifts
Finally, Austin got a PR on his power clean 🤣
Based on the way 365 moved, you can *definitely* hit 405. That's a technique fix, not a strength issue. That's really strong, man.

I know b4 I see some amazing, ima hear “ b4 I started thp”
😂
How much you do everything
Whats your opinion on peptides, like BPC-157 or TB-500 for faster muscle and tendon regeneration? Have you tried them or considered?
you made bro in the back lefts jaw drop
2 PRs! Sick!

Yeah in simple words, you have more training age when you start younger. Also having a 43 inch vertical with no knee pain is diabolical.

@@A-A-RonDavis2470 diet can also tremendously impact joint health.
@@A-A-RonDavis2470get a floss band and use it to floss your ankle and strengthen the smaller muscles and ligaments in the ankle
Looks like your only doing 1 rep per set, can you really get strong like that? and how many sets you have to do?
No. You have to explore many rep ranges. This is just a max out day
How tf do you front squat like that my wrists can’t bend that far😂
same as everything else in mobility, improves over time as you do it
bro this is before the hurricane or after?
Why does Austin not jump until 225?
Hope Austin doesn’t mess his back up with the form he has on the pull part of the power clean..
I'm 5'4" How high Can I Jump to make a dunk ?
like 45 inches
Doesn't depend on your height but your standing reach. But yea close to 45" just to do a small dunk
Can I use the program if I am 5”4??? 😭 I want to dunk soo bad!
No they’ll ban you from training if you’re short. Tf 😂 of course you can train with them
I'm 5'7"
sometimes I forget how Jacked austin is
Bruhhhh good weight lookin easy
Do u really need to have lean legs to jump high?
Of course, if you have lots of fat on your legs it'll be harder to jump
@@NathanG24 thanks brev I've being working out on my legs alot but couldn't see much improvement so I just wanted to clear my doubts
Thanks G✊🏿
What about 172cm with 7’2 1/2 reach height
Thats crazy reach at 5'7....
@@philipjin4902its normal reach for a 5'7" tbh. His wingspan is == to his height
@@philipjin4902 its average
Isn’t being strong only half the equation?
Yes. Why do you ask?
Saute 👍👏👏👏

a 4 plate front squat really is insane though.. almost there
