i have a 7'11 reach i only need 30 inches to dunk ...i have a 34 inch runnning vert havent tried to dunk in a very long time just been in the gym getting right and testing myself..
I'm getting ready to start a dunk now program. I've heard of people getting really good results from it, but it says not to do any extra work with my legs like squating or ect. So i was curious if you guys decided to still workout your legs or if your plan called for it. Also, the workouts seem pretty intense, do you think that with a healthy diet it would help with toning muscle too?
Don't know what the program your doing is like, but assuming it already has lifting programmed in, i wouldn't do anything extra than what the program calls for.
Yes, a good diet will help you obtain better results.
@jumpmancolt should be able to squat 1.5 times ur own weight then u have enough power in ur legs. after that concentrate on getting ur body fat to at least 18% and work on speed plyometrics
get rid of the running shoes, drop the weight, and squat correctly. i can assure you going ATG with just 300 as opposed to 375 not breaking parallel will offer you more gains. get a pair of weightlifting shoes while youre at it too. trust me, it helps a bunch.
@mouloudo yeah, but if you squat parallel or atg you work more muscles in your legs, and youll have better strengths, not to mention full range of motion. increase in strength increases your jump potential. i think itd be good to do both.
there is no way that you are any where near forty inch vertical cus my standing reach is s7"10 and i only fucking have a 35 inch vertical and can jump waaaay higher
@redberrey1 hence the title road to 40 inch vertical. the guy in the white though can hit 40 off a run. this vid was during heavy weeks of lifting neither of us were jumping high at this point
@redberrey1 god i would kill to have a 7' 10" reach... mine is 7' 4" and i have a 32 inch standing vertical and 36 inch running ... i can dunk a dodge ball. any tips?
Its all about how quickly you can exert all of your max power into a jump. If you have acces to a squat bar pm me. More overall power to exert into your jump is the obvious answere but if your problem is palming the ball do fingertip pushups and finger tip pullups. Train your weakest lower body muscles as well if you know your hamstrings are weak or what ever work on that because thats going to quickly make you way stronger.
hey man.....nice vid keep up the training..but for fun make it a road to 50 inch vertical because im trying to get to 50 and i can jump at least 40 now.....so aim high!!!!! and you'll do better :)
SuperNaturalJump2012, YouTube,Out of this Universe!!! Absolutely Beyond Belief!!!, It is the most incredible elevation out there ever, Im floating over 5 feet vertical in the air!!! Im 5-9 feet tall & I am touching a ceiling nearly 12 feet & 6 inches high, That's Nearly the Top of the Basketball Backboard!!! Also my head is Astonishingly near by a ceiling higher than 12 feet!!!The NBA Will Never Ever Be Ready For This Kind Of Surreal Flying Elevation!!!!!!!
im 6ft 1 6ft 2 with the shoes lol and sadly i cant dunk i have always been in shape and loved sports but what kills me is i love pizza and other food like that n i hardly eat healthy so yeah it sucksssss asssss lol
I'm glad white dudes that can jump are showing other white dudes it's not genetics, it's work. If you put in the work you will jump. And it's not just doing a couple squats and you will magically fly. 40 inches is a lot you really have to be committed to jumping. But it's worth it when you get it. Good job and keep it up.
@monkeris been doing it for a couple of years now, have done very very little plyos asides form the jumping involved in playing basketball and some plyos here and there. during this phase wasn't really doing any plyos if i remember correctly, this was more of a strength phase. added in plyos a little later, some seated jumps, line hops, etc
Hey man I need a big favor I'm a girl and I wana dunk all I need is 4 inches I need a video demonstration or word demonstation of every workout in the beginners 7 day workout because I can only use my fone. I wanna dunk before the season starts and I'm a girl so that's pretty big for highschool my height 5'7 120lbs. The first girl my height to dunk and my weight plz help!!
@alechilliard it's a personal programming thing that squatdr writes up for me. he writes out my workouts for me for each week. i got 3 more weeks left. then gonna shift into more explosive work
@jasonkanzler I agree, I squat 330 1RM but I squat it deep. I can dunk a ball. You can cheat on a squat but you can't cheat on a vertical. The 375 squat is a 1/4 or 1/2 squat at best. Might as well do calf raises.
@Cloud3205 they are def. .lower but not sure how much i rarely deadlift. yes i understand it's not full depth, my goal when the summer started was 375 at least parallel by sept 1 and right now i'm on track for that, i actually started a little below 275 bcs it dropped a little b4 i started this 10 wk strength thing. so i'd say i'm doing pretty well so far
@jasonkanzler You're right, but if it helped the guys get to 40" then who cares. Why would you go the hard way if there is also an easy way? If it was for powerlifting then yes, they should work on their form, but they are just interested in increasing their vert so if it worked out for them...
@rawbq you have a point, but if they wish to keep their knees and back in good shape, then form is very important, no matter what purpose you are training for.
Ego lifting? Please, leave your squat master bravado bull at the door. Athletes train different than powerlifters. If they were football lineman or something itd be different bcuz the benefits of going parallel (a larger number of muscles being worked) would HELP a lineman, but these are guys who want to jump.
Athletes shouldn train to squat w/ perfect form UNLESS squatting with perfect form gets them the scholarships. Last time i checked 4.4 speed and 40 inch verts > squatting. Idiot
great work guys! u guys need to be breaking parallel on the squats. stopping right above parallel makes a big difference. i only saw one squat that broke parallel it was the last one with 345. how much does ur friend weigh?
i have a question EVERYONE! in my running jump i can touch upto 8'10" so is that my reach??

also, your deadlift numbers being so egregiously lower than your squat numbers might tip you off to the fact that you aren't squatting deep enough.
