Re: Verical Jump .
I'm 5'10.5 and I can grab the rim and I haven't played organized competitive basketball since 8th grade. I don't do any weight lifting and I haven't even heard of plyometrics. I guess just jump a lot and keep trying. Good luck.Comment

Re: Verical Jump .
i'm 6'1" and can dunk. not a great athlete but I work hard.
1. try to dunk every time you go to the gym
2. do maximum effort jumps (verticals) and try to touch a point on a basketball goal. example two hand touch on the rim.
3. squats, deadlifts, hang clean/snatch/jerk
4. stretchComment

Re: Verical Jump .
This. Dunking will not get you any pt on my team.....Leg strength is very important. Lift those weights and do plyometrics. Jump rope and do yoga to keep things loose and flexible.
And why will you need to be able to dunk? To show off before pregame and practice? I would be more concerned about whether you can shoot, dribble and pass.
as far as dunking i'd highly recommend the vertical jump bible. It explains pretty much all you will need to know about jumping.Last edited by dexvex; 08-24-2010, 12:58 PM.Comment

I don't know why he'd need to be able to dunk but I can understand why he's want to dunk. It's true, dunking doesn't make me spectacular but it is a heck of a lot of fun. There's no getting around that.Leg strength is very important. Lift those weights and do plyometrics. Jump rope and do yoga to keep things loose and flexible.
