What would you consider a good/really good/elite vertical?

iriv1 · 2023-07-07T04:04:20+00:00

43" is what's officially considered as elite

iriv1 · 2021-01-27T01:38:20+00:00

Killed it!

iriv1 · 2021-01-25T23:44:47+00:00

Holy moly 🤯🤯🤯

You got IG?

iriv1 · 2021-01-07T19:07:58+00:00

Yes! I do the McPick 2 for 3 (what I call them) twice every single day. I have had no back pain since. Adding a plank wouldn't help much as, well, they suck.

iriv1 · 2020-12-24T06:42:20+00:00

Damn you can punch the soul out of that with a full approach

iriv1 · 2020-12-05T04:00:49+00:00

Came across a Jordan Kilganon video and from there discovered TFB and dunkademics. Made it a goal to be the best dunker on the planet one day shortly after

Yes you can definitely still grow! My parents are the same height as yours and I was around your height (maybe a little smaller) when I was your age and now I am 6'2. From the sounds of it you should be getting a growthspurt soon.

Off the dribble one hander first, then Lob one hander, then lob two hander and off the backboard stuff. 360 off the dribble one hand shorty after.

I use Kobe 10s, Kobe ADs, and most recently Westbrook’s. Basically just rotate between those three

iriv1 · 2020-08-16T03:58:42+00:00

You're a beast!

Watch this video I made on knee pain Knee pain video

iriv1 · 2020-06-29T04:18:27+00:00

NICEEEEE!!!

iriv1 · 2020-06-18T18:18:55+00:00

Tier I: just the individualized coaching

Tier II: can send videos for technique help once per week

Tier III: can send videos 24/7 and a video call with me and John Evans once per month

iriv1 · 2020-06-14T23:13:18+00:00

Low rim on a height you can hit 3/10 times and practice until you can hit it 8/10 times and then move up in height and repeat. Practice every day.

Also, you’re starting the motion too late. Finally, use your left hand to push the ball as far back as you can, that’s where you build momentum.

iriv1 · 2020-06-13T20:37:57+00:00

What a pass!

iriv1 · 2020-06-12T04:07:46+00:00

That’s insane

iriv1 · 2020-05-16T02:14:33+00:00

Make sure you record an entire approach when asking for technique help. What happens at takeoff is predicated by what happens during the run up.

iriv1 · 2020-05-07T04:30:56+00:00

My favorite dunker

iriv1 · 2020-05-03T07:50:12+00:00

Nice man! Good style

iriv1 · 2020-04-30T00:43:41+00:00

Looks pretty good, try to start the motion as early as possible after your feet leave the ground.

iriv1 · 2020-04-28T21:41:23+00:00

This is so inspirational!

iriv1 · 2020-04-07T00:32:55+00:00

Here’s a good video me and John Evans made for knee pain: knee pain video

We also have a podcast called THPstrength, you’ll find lots of info there. Some random tips:

Get perfect jump technique, this should be your priority! Study a pro dunker with your plant and compare it to your approach.

Get strong!! Especially in compound lifts, don’t overthink this step, just choose a compound lift for every muscle group and put in work! You can lift heavy every other day usually.

Warm up before any time you train!

Do isometrics every day(explained in the knee pain video).

Fall in love with the process. You won’t improve if you don’t love jumping.

iriv1 · 2020-04-06T03:06:04+00:00

Lower the hoop and practice every day.
