This is one of the most impressive feats of athleticism that I've ever seen in my life
0:05
And if you want to be able to dunk off one foot like that, here are five things you need to be
0:10
doing in your training. The first one is mass. You need to be as light as possible and have as
0:15
little upper body mass as possible to jump high off one foot. Second is plyos. Plyos help one foot
0:21
jumpers a lot. I want you to do bounding and I want you to do single and double leg hopping
0:25
Keep your ground contact time to 0.17 to 0.23 seconds and jump as hard as you can with each jump
0:33
And then you also want to be practicing approach one foot jumps with max effort one to two times per week
0:38
Finally, we have running. You need to be doing all types of running. You need to be doing extensive and intensive tempo on your general days
0:45
You need to be doing special endurance running on your general days. And you need to build up to max velocity sprints
0:49
The plyometric contacts you get from running are highly specific to one foot jumping
0:53
and it also helps you with the first thing, which is staying lean. The fourth thing you need is lifts
0:58
I want you to get good at quarter and half squats. Be strong as hell on these
1:02
You need to be stronger than everybody you run into at the gym relative to your body weight
1:06
in the quarter and the half squat. You need to be really strong on RDLs, extremely strong in every calf race variation
1:13
that you can think of, and then you need to get good at this lift. It's a hand clean with straps with a big counter movement
1:19
The best one foot jumpers in the world can hit almost two times body weight in this lift
1:23
And then finally, you need to understand that one foot jumping is more sensitive to fatigue. So after you do two to three weeks of hard training
1:29
you need to take an easy week. And then after three to six months of hard training, you need to take an easy month
