  • white guys are genetically jealous of black guys...we jump higher so what you guys got more money and smarter

  • Where you at? Do you work hard on perfect nutrition regime aka 6 times a week balance feedings? That will do great impact plus creatine

  • your horrible at workin on your vertcial. im 14 and worked for 2 and a half months was dunkin easy.

  • @XxEchoSniperxX I think not cause he don't have much frames. But I think the focus should be muscle gains. Everything else is separable weak bullshit.

  • wow your weighted squat form is totally f'ed.

  • hehe I've been strength training for the last month or so, and I'm able to grab the rim now. I'm 5'6" with somewhere around a 36 vertical. I need to get up to 40 or so Im hoping in a few more months.

    Keep it up man, Kelly's bible's da bomb

  • If you had a 36 inch vertical, you should be able to dunk easily.

  • ahhhh no...

    If you were 5'7" ish, with short arms, you'd know that a 36 inch vertical isn't enough

  • No. I am 5'8-5'9 with short arms and would be able to dunk easily with a 36 inch vert. I can grab rim and I come no where close to 36 inch.

  • Hey, I'm 5'11" and have monkey arms and touch 7'9", so if he's 5'6" he probably touches 7'2". 36" would only get him to 10'2" and that's not enough to dunk.

  • Nah you don't even have monkey arms man. I'm 5'11 too and my reach is 7'7 so you are maybe a lil above average. A lot of dudes are our height and have reaches of around 8' or so... They are mostly black tho cus black people just have longer arms in general just the way they are built. I need to have about a 36" inch vert or so to dunk I'm 5 inches taller than this dude... so yea for the argument there is no way he can dunk with so called short or average arms.

  • OK. Thank you.

  • now is that rim you grabbed near the end 10 ft

    cause it sure looks like you can dunk by how effortlessly your movements were

  • YO, why don't you try dunking on shorter nets to get the proper form right.But keep working out as well.

  • hmmm, you look slow... sprint and squat.Your squat is weak, 155lbs?? I know you are going fast etc, but thats still weak.

    I only squatted and skipped rope and I was able to dunk easily. I was able to dunk in high school though.

  • Some people have different natural abilities and that probably keys into the effectiveness of certain workouts. Apparently jump rope was what you needed.

  • Again, one inch a month is 40 inches in 40 months...it doesn't work like that. Regardless, good luck in your own endeavors, don't be a hater.

  • hell nah that shouldnt be taking a whole year... if you can touch the rim you should be dunking in 3 months... run bleachers at the local high school, and hit the leg press that should be suficiant

  • So what you're saying is if i can get rim, I should be able to get another 6" in 3 months? I disagree. By that logic, i should get a whole foot in 1 year.

  • well how is that not logical? and a foot in a year... thats one in a month... if you cant do that with plyometrics and running and jumproping.... thats sad

  • well.. not necessarily, you see there can be a consistent rate of improvement, but like everything in life, it will have it's limits.

    sport is an extremely true example of this.

    you can improve in either a short or long amount of time at a consistent rate, but you and your body does have limits that will stop you from gaining a super-human jumping ability.

    so.. I have to say what these people are saying is quite right in most cases, you are failing to understand when limits kick in.

  • Man i really admire your persistence, but i'm a bit disenchanted with Kelly Baggetts Vertical Jump Bible (which i also own) after seeing this. I mean shit, it should NOT take a whole year, and you seem to be doing everything right.

  • I hear ya. But there's so many different workouts, depending on your strength and body type. Also, I'm not doing ideal workouts for 2 reasons - 1. i'm 20 years older than most, 2. I don't play basketball, so i'm never in great jumping shape

  • I see what you're saying, but the program is marketed as a standalone system, it doesn't say anywhere in the publication that you must play basketball concurrently (though i agree, it probably would be beneficial). Regardless of hops, do you feel it has improved your overall strength and fitness much?

  • well, at the end of the day, i'm not dunking, so it's not working. That said, age & lack of intensive exercise aren't helping.

  • I hear that, well, I hope you keep with it. If only I was Shawn Kemp.... then i'd be out dunking right now, instead of trawling youtube for scraps of dunkitude.

  • Keep in mind some people will NEVER dunk regardless of how awesome of a program they are on. Kelly's program will help anyone make improvement, but that doesn't mean everyone will dunk. If he goes from a 25" VJ to a 30" VJ then how can anyone say his program doesn't work?

  • Leave the weights alone!! Do plyometrics and/or Isometrics....it'll get you right in no time.

  • I'm on a 8 week program right now. I was combining plyos and squats for the first 5 weeks, but then only plyos...thanks though!

  • i kno ppl dont get it like we dont get it they act like dont want to jump out the gym

  • im 6'7" and its not as easy to dunk as people think. weight comes with height which is harder to get up in the air lol plus i believe taller people to take longer to get used to their height which usually rapidly happens during puberty

  • thankyou so much for sayin that im 6'5" 230 up and down in weight and it is hard. "man if i was your height" man you 6'5 dunk it should be easy" pbbf ppl need to understand

  • haha...voices of reason

  • bro i fell both u im 6'7" ad weigh like 200-210 in the 9th grade and its harder 2 jump hi wen ur tall and wen ur tall u dont even need 2 jump outa the gym but it fuckin helps

  • go hard or go home

  • that's why i'm training to overcome the lack of fast twitch

  • hopefully the next video you post is of you dunking the ball that would be excellent

  • keep it up buddy, you can do it!

  • ya buddy!!!!!!

  • whoa nice calves haha. keep it up, and dont worry, most NBA players cant dunk after 32+ I think you almost got it

  • actually most of them can you are thinking more along the lines of 42+ years because most of the dunkers in the NBA dunk well past 32 allen iverson can still dunk like crazy he just prefers not to

  • no...I'm not saying you are wrong but did you read the SI article a few weeks back? It talked about how most players can lose hops/dunking ability near that age.

  • point well made it does go down but that is because most athletes do not stay in shape or get plagued with injuries and since he can avoid that he should be able to come close.

  • yea...like when MJ, one of the greatest dunkers of all time, missed a dunk in the 2002(?) All Star Game. I couldnt believe it

  • nothing to do with his lack of jump, if you take a closer look he slamed the ball to far, on the base of the rim, he wasn't too short

  • MJ got heavy though. :p

  • there vertical decreases yea lyk vince's is but the majority i.e. 90% of them can all still dunk u hardly have to jump at 6'6'' etc. to dunk

  • I'm 6'6 and I have to jump about 2 feet to dunk but it doesn't look very good unless I jump like 30 inches or more.

  • keep it up buddy

  • lookin better keep it up

  • Good that you're still working to archieve your goal. I salute you. Oh, and keep the beard. It's better for motivation.

  • keep at it man, it takes time to be able to dunk by the way how high was the rim you were jumping and grabbing

  • The rim is actually 3" short...but wasn't trying to show my vert in this vid, so i didn't mention it...good eyes tho

  • you need more fast twitch muscle fiber you dont have enough whichis genetic

  • Yeee haaaa. Long wait for this video!

    GOOD job and keep goingggg~

  • sweet cant wait 2 see u dunk

  • cool
