"Obviously we have different ideas on how young athletes should be trained. If he starts down a well-structured path, both plyometrics and weights-wise, he could easily turn into a beast in two or three years time. Why start later when people can start now? I know I definitely would've benefited from someone who cared and knew about training when I was 14."


Yeah i guess. Because for example if you are from US i believe you have way better conditions for training, at least in US prices are low(for me those are low, if i compare them to Lithuanians). Maybe in Lithuania young athletes would have been training like you said(i wish i could go to the gym and work on my vertical when i was 14, but truth is that couldn't, and i can't blame anyone and regret, i've got everything i could) but in Lithuania basketball schools can't afford gym stuff, so yeah our ideas are pretty different :)

"@ Edgaras Pscelovskis - Don't care if you have a 43 inch vert, recommending long distance runs for vert and to "strengthen the legs" automatically makes you lose cred. Can't believe you'd recommend that."

I recommended this one becauce at his age i did exacly this exercise and i didn't recommend it for vertical - "increase stamina and strenghten your legs" its just addition to main training. And this is not my invention, I used to do it when i was 14 till i turned 16 or 17 with light athletic coach(hight jump). Ofcourse to people with age 16-17 actually there is no point to do distance runs they should lift weights as you said and i totaly agree with you. And becouse my vert is 43 it doesnt mean that i know everything in training and you cant be 100% sure that exercises i mentioned will help. Yes for me it helped it helped a lot, i had time and i did hard work to get results. But again for 14 years old boy lifting weights its not right, its just my opinion, there is no point to dunk as fast as you can when you only 14, keep working in natural way till 16, then try using weights.

You can blame me that i talk sh.t, but i just sharing my own experiance, its your choice what to do, and believe or not.

Peace:)

Yes, but rope is more for warmups , long distance runs is to increase your stamina and strenghten your legs, it very important

Ofcouse not every day. I recommend you to do these exercises 3 days in a week, leaving 1 day for resting between. I think you should do  calf rises - 5x15(without weights and each leg, rise you body quick and then go down slow), lunges - 4x10 (Each leg, get some weights something around 3kg dumbbells). On free days you should go for a long distance run in the morning, but if you dont have ability to do this its not nessecery. In a days i will contact my light athletic coach , he trains high jumpers and sprinters, and post some more good exercises :)

Hey  :)

Since you have dumbbells you can do Lunges with low weight, i remember when in basketball academy we had been doing Lunges but without dumbbells, with friend on my back :) very effective exercise, specialy at your age. Also Calf raises would suit you and one good exercise our light athletic coach called it "Dragons" i don't know why :) it would be hard for me to describe this exercise, so maybe later i will film my self doing it and show you. Experianced jumper do this exercise with weight but you shouldint. And WARNING do all exercises wisely, specialy at your age. From my own experiance i could say that those exercises help and do a lot.

Wish you good gains !

Hello !

I'm new in this forum so i decided to introduce my self. My name is Edgaras i'm 20 years old, 5'9". Like most people on this forum i like sports specialy basketball, ability to dunk. I become more interested in dunking probably when i dunked first time in my life at age 14, 5'7" or 5'8" can't remember. Since then i started to train more my vertical while other boys in basketball academy trained they'r basketball skills. I was one leg jumper and everythink gone well until i felt kind of disscomfort in my left knee. Since then i was forced to jump more from 2 feet to keep my legs healthy. I never used any jump program, all inches i gained came to me more in natural way or genetic. Now i have 110 cm vertical (it is like 43" i believe).

There is some old videos of mine : http://www.youtube.com/user/hoopcee?feature=mhee

I'm really happy to join your community. Thanks to Adarq. If you have questions to me feel free to ask, i will try my best to answer.
