My Goal: Dunk By the Summer
I love basketball and I play around 3-6 hours every other day at my local LA Fitness gym. For the longest time now I have been promising myself to get into
better shape and train to be able to dunk. Right now I’m 5"11 and 190lbs. I still need to add around 8-12 inches to my vertical to make this happen. I figure now is a better than ever to make a promise to all my blog readers and everyone to come across this site, that I WILL DUNK A BASKETBALL BY SUMMER. More than anything this is a personal goal, but it makes it even more of a goal that I have made a post to thousands of viewers, and to keep my promise to them. To make it even more exciting, once I am able to dunk, I will throw a random contest of some sort to my blog readers. Something like $50 CASH to five random posters of the forum. I will keep you updated and post a video once it happens!
Wait... before you leave, consider these top resources:
Hey Zac,
You should buy jump soles from jumpusa dot com
they will increase your vertical. I used them and I was able to increase my vert about 4 inches. Also my first step is faster off the pivot
i did… but was lazy. they are in my basement, i'll go look for them and start using them. thanks!
Interesting.. you should post updates on your vertical and what exercises you've been doing. I used to wear 5kg ankle weights around school and play ball in them. I don't think it did much. I think just jumping around as much as often as you can naturally strengthens the right muscles. I'm 5'7 and used to be able to get my wrist over a full height ring but my problem was not being able to palm the ball – damn it!
good luck!
nice
