I think i follow you since 2019 and to see all this training video and dunk session again makes me nostalgic You can be proud of yourself you are amaizing
100% agreed, I never had major injuries during my teens and twenties, I was really athletic but didn't have any improvements until I sprained both my ankles in three years. Then I started to study on my body and advanced exercises. Now I'm turning 34 before December, I'm much stronger than before and hopefully when my ankle fully recovered, I can still enjoy dunking
seeing the progress played out like this is awesome! I'd be interested in a 0-50" video where you go over you early sports and do a whole break down!!!
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. You posted that quote and it stuck with me. You know like I know injuries aren’t a stopping point but a learning point. Good job on pushing thru and keep grinding
Hi Isaiah, Thx for the amazing video. I am really thankful for sharing everything so openly with us! It is very helpful for all the people out here to understand, that injuries are part of the road and there is always a way to overcome them. Thx again!
bro this is so inspirational man hopefully I can do the same one day. I also really appreciate the books you recommend I read them and they have helped me in other areas of life you're very inspirational thank you
i have been doing all sorts of vert training i have seen online going to the weight room doing plyos and i went from a 21 inch vert to a 34 ich. i loved ur advice and fo ru people this stuff really works
Wow! Isaiah I saw your videos when I was a teen I find It's very impressive you are still working in your jump haha. I thought you was training for being a NBA player or something like that when i saw your videos I didn't undertood English so much. I'm very glad you are improving.
My god I used to be able to dunk then I stopped for 2 months because of religous stuff and eid and yesterday I went to the court and I got rim blocked like 10 straight times glad I saw this to help me get motivated again.
If you have any minor twitch in any area during a heavy lift, it’s time to investigate what weak points you have lead to that. It’s not time to do another lift to get around it.
This is a great video that captures the inevitable injuries of training for peak performance and being human - all while learning your body. I have always noticed you may be over arching your lower back in the squat, especially at the bottom. That may be related to the back injury. Perhaps experiment more with finding a more neutral spine for load bearing? That arch in the low back puts the hips in a certain position (tilt) and stretches the hams more. Just a thought. Wishing you the best.
When you were jumping lower on the ATG training, did you change any other aspect of your training? Like were you still jumping, dunking, playing b-ball at the same intensity/frequency? The only reason ATG probably didn’t make immediately jump higher, is because two foot jumping relies a lot more on raw strength like full squat, and the start of ATG is all lighter and unilateral. The absolute strength of your body was the limiting factor of your jumping height at that time, and you started to lose some of that absolute strength when you started ATG intro lifting.
hey isaiah, if youre reading this comment just letting you know that if you get a sharp or stabbing pain, DONT push through it telling yourself it might be something else. its always better to prevent injury rather than fix it, and the longer you wait, the more chronic it can become and can potentially lead to other pains and injuries. stop the workout, and seek clinical help. hope this helps!
Good job! Would be great to hear a little bit more how you got rid of your knee pain. Iam dealing with tendonitis for more than 6 months and slow strength does not really help a lot.
Hey man, been following you for a few years, this is awesome! Since you were doing so much strength training, I'm wondering what you were doing nutrition wise?
I've been following you since I came across your vid of the "360 BTB and BTL" in a dunk compilation. I had to know who that was! Haha! Congrats on the progress, hard work, growth and achievement👍
@@timursezer3787 yeah so I've heard the 24 hour fitness rings are a bit lower...but it was still impressive and it was what got my attention to look Isaiah up and follow him 👍
im at 27 inch vertical at 6"3 with a shitty wingspan but almost dunking for the first time. im getting hungry and want to train every second of every day. im doing my lifting, stretching and plyometrics and i cant wait to thrown down my first dunk 😩
Here is what I learned from this video: "No matter what life threw at me - the hardship, the adversity, the challenges, the downfalls - I found opportunities, ways and a plan around it. I never gave up." Great work Isaiah! You are an inspiration to many people! I am 35 years old and I am at it for 15 months now. I am beyond the rim now, and when I started I couldn't touch the board (overweight back injury, etc)! Nowhere as close as you, but hopefully I will dunk one day. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Chase the 52' inch next!
hey Isaiah, do you think that your 50.5'' vert also contributed a lot from high volume training in Oct-Nov 2021? because you saide you built a really high capacity from that training. high volume sprint ilfts at high altitude environment
Needed to see this cause my shoulder been injured for over a year left ankle since February, back juss got injured too prolly had bout 5 6 injuries within the last year
well like you said, it varies a LOT. The average person's genetics probably cant get up in the high forties with hard work alone, but id say with enough work almost anyone could get around a 40in vertical.
Hey Isaiah! I've been training for almost 2 years now. A few months ago I was able to dunk a tennis ball on a 10ft rim at 5'10. But recently I feel like I've been plateauing and somedays I even jump lower. I have tried resting, different training styles and some mobility work, but I haven't seen many results. My jump technique off 1 and 2 foot isn't that good, but I have been struggling to improve it. Any advice?
maybe the problem is your technique, just work on that bc if u dont got a good technique u wont use all the power that u got, idk if u get what im sayin if u didnt understand let me know
@@benthomas4426 oh i gotchu then one of the best videos of jumping technique is isaiah rivera tutorial take a look at that video th-cam.com/video/XaX62e9uh90/w-d-xo.html
Yes a 50 inch vertical help you get buckets it also makes you have an advantage over the other teams because you can touch the rim and dunk almost anyone can get a 50 inch vertical

I see you John

Hey zay are you going to try to test for a 52 inch vertical?
Isaiah every 2 seconds "most brutal training known to man"

you’ll have to train in 10x gravity to advance any further at this point
