I'm almost able to dunk, I'm about 2 inches away. I can grab rim and jump high enough that half of my hand is over the rim.

I've been practicing dunking and in almost there but th ball hot the rim and bounces off. I can Palm the ball no problem any tips on getting that last 2-3 inches on my vert?

Am I close to dunking? How long do you think it will take?

Make sure that you are stretching regularly and doing balance drills and ankle strengthening drills.

The more force your ankle can withstand, the more force you will be able to translate from your quads/glutes to the ground.

The ankles are key.

If you can palm it than the rest is all plyometrics breh. Squats, calf raises, box jumps. For all your exercises lift lower weight and focus on explosiveness. And once you get high enough remember to be really aggressive when you tryna dunk in game. You should be seeing just you and the rim when you going up. I couldn't dunk at the beginning of the year and I just posterized a nikka a few days ago:pachaha:

I found the holy grail:damn:

Power clean sets of 3 at 70% of Max and then do 3 reps of vertical jump.

I yammed a tip dunk today right on this cacs head, he look back at me like:damn:


I’m only 6’0” but I got them pogo sticks now :blessed:

Dunking is one of the best feelings in the world. I was like :krs: when I was able to dunk again.

I've always wondered how it would feel to pike on a victim's head.

Still trying to improve my vertical nonetheless tho.
