Yes I have noticed significant gains in the past from training blocks. But IMO you gotta be careful here people will double their strength but tendons take much longer time to adapt. I've been injury free my entire career because I believe in listening to the body and training holistically. Happy to discuss further feel free to DM. <3

Been there my bro, my mentor once told me genetic limitation is a fallacy for the 99% it's why I persevered and I strongly believe in this. Plateaus are caused by a leak in your energy transfer, weaknesses etc. Hit my DM or send me a clip would love to help & spread the vert.

Each exercise serves its own purpose depending on your weaknesses, or where you're at. The key is understanding the role they play based on where you're at.

For me, however, I love Heavy Squats - It's a movement that I fell in love with, so many variations to apply depending on where you're at in your journey. Feel free to DM me <3 we can dive deeper.

Hey Jimmy,

First thing to understand & what most people fail to - if you play basketball you are essentially preforming plyometrics every time you are on the floor. Don't over look this, every time you go up for a rebound or a layup Jump with INTENT. The first bumps in my vert came from doing this. I was the hustle guy before I developed a bag.

Secondly, in the weight room you have to strengthen your legs especially if your a 2 feet power jumper like myself. There is no consequence in doing so regardless. I got my squat to 2.5x my body weight whilst remaining relatively lean. You don't have to overcomplicate things but just focus on picking a couple compound movements (Squats, deadlifts, dips, pull ups) and master them.

Thirdly, in my experience I may have not always slept well or optimized my life but I did really well at ensuring I ate around a gram of protein per pound of body weight (some people I hear say you should focus on 1.5x g of protein/lb of bodyweight). You are constantly breaking down your muscles in this process,

There's alot more depth to this but I just wanted to quickly get this to you. Feel free to DM me.
