Sad to think that there are people who will still talk trash to me on twitter dot com even after they see this video of me being able to dunk in my 30s. (I obviously could have gotten MUCH higher, I just didn't want to jump out of the camera's field of view.) https://t.co/MMGF1h0IAR
REVERSE NORDIC CURL
30 DAY CHALLENGE!
Check out my 30 day challenge and see if you you are up for it!
Shout out to Connor Curtis and Cameron Gill from @strongerbysci for the inspiration!
Body position is key for maxing jump height. Take a looks at @spidadmitchell
Including exercises that mimic those positions are a great way to learn. You want to break apart the entire movement into learnable chunks.
Add the isometric approach squat to your routine!

Take a look at the two highlights side by side. The movements are nearly identical. Dial in the basics of your jump mechanics. They will carry over to many jumping movements in your sport ๐ช๐ช
๐ฅ๐ฅ @iamkeonjohnson demonstrating the approach arc!
This is the quickest, easiest add to your jump technique. It's done universally. All great jumpers in both the 1 foot and 2 foot jumps. Be sure to adopt this for all your jumps!
Protect from groin injuries ๐
I wish I would have known about this exercise when I was younger and playing competitively. I think I strained my groin at the beginning of every basketball season.
This is a great exercise that can be done by yourself with limited equipment OR with a partner holding up your leg and no equipment. It definitely taxes the groin and provides the requisite load to protect against groin strains.
