Hey man, that video like inspired me to keep working on my goal to dunk. Do you have any suggestions on workouts that a 5'10'' teen can do to improve his vert? Thanks. Nice video by the way.

@iDumbAzn The short answer is plyometrics or jump training, look it up, there are places on the net that will help you. never underestimate your strength and you may even grow an inch or two. Xave was 15 when we made that video, he's 17 now and about 5 inches taller... height and hand size also play a part in the dunk. Keep at it and good luck.

@wizarethebest dunk with a ball size 5, your hand will strech out, do this for quiet some time, then go to 6 and then finally 5, im 6"00 my hands are not that big and i can grab the ball, not long but deffinitly long enough to dunk ( excuse my english)

[XxChRItRlzxX]

@wizarethebest there is a hand exercise where you stick your hands in a bucket of rice and keep moving them. This will help your grip and finger strength
