Over Train? um....

Quote
Jordan Kilganon:  My advice to anyone who wants to become a dunker, is to start off dunking 1-2 hours 3 times a week and to slowly progress to 3-4 hours a day almost every day. If you’re legs aren’t sore as hell the day after, it means you need to dunk more/longer next time…The way my training worked was that I would dunk 3-4 hours every day for a week to even a month, and anytime I wanted to see results, I would rest 2-3 days.  Every time I rested, it was my next best jumping day, I saw results, rarely I didn’t see a difference.


(one of my local dunking buddies just jumped like 130 times in 2 days... When i ask him why.. he send me that link)

Also don't forget to do calf raises ( AUT's secret to success ) , and also a lot of static stretching ( Ziani's secret ).

:ffffffuuuuuu:

Scooby, you are too many years in this thing to be carried away from such BS. Kilganon is a freak of nature, even if he used pizza+milkshake+playstation for vertical jump training, he would still be out-jumping most of us. Not underestimating his work, he has worked his ass off to improve his dunking skills, but his hops come from sweet mother nature.
Check his videos, at 16 years old he was already throwing tomahawks at 10'.
Also, go to a court, spot a few kids. They run and jump day after day for hours. Why can't they dunk?
Finally, about having dead sore legs as an indicator for progress, hm, how about marathons? They sure kill the legs, will they help us jump higher?

I highly respect all those amazing dunkers, but when they give such advice it is outraging. To me they are disrespecting nature for not acknowledging the gift, they are also underestimating our intelligence: are we so dump that we could just go out and jump and get the results but instead we choose to spend hours of pain under the heavy iron?

TLDR version : Kilganon's advice is scientifically illiterate.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

I believe there's a saying that goes something like this:

"most elite athletes are elite despite their training, not because of it"

;)


That said...hidden in that interview is some solid advice.... GO FUCKIN JUMP DAMMIT. :)

I got my 33.5" vert from just jumping, so he may have a point.

I did not say you won't gain anything from jumping. On the contrary, you must never neglect the actual jumping when you are training for... jumping, that is self-explanatory.
I also did not doubt that if he had not jumped that much he would be jumping lower.
Kilganon is not just another dude that got to add 5-10'' to his jumps, he is arguably the best dunker on the planet and his maximum RVJ is a world class +50''.
Many young kids will look up to him. That is why the advice "just dunk a lot every day" annoys me, it is misleading.
I do believe your n=1 experience that got you to 33'' by just jumping. But that does not change the jump-training science basic facts:
YES, if you jump a lot you will improve your vert some.
YES, people that are naturally strong can go a longer way by just jumping.
But, sooner or later, you will have to strength-train if you want to approach your potential.
Even Kilganon, if a professional coach took him, be sure he would have him strength-train too. He does not have to because he is already over 50'' so why bother. But if he had to chase his full potential and do it right, be sure the squat rack would become his good friend too.

Jordan has mentioned in the last year he has started weight training and it did help improve his vert, noticeably in the SVJ and 1 step categories. There is no secret to jumping...strength+speed+movement efficiency=flying. The only "black magic" is in balancing strength vs speed.

Actually, I talked with him some time ago and he had his deadlift at pretty much the same level as me after training for 3 weeks or so, not 8 years like I have.
