http://myjumpmanual.blogspot.com I want to dunk! After researching several vertical jump programs, I chose the Jump Manual. I started on Monday, April 11, 2011 and will be posting videos during the 12 weeks of the program to track my progress and hopefully provide some extra motivation to work hard and push myself. In 12 weeks or less, hopefully I'll have a dunk video to post!

On day 1, my vertical jump came is as follows:

Standing vertical jump = 22 inches
One step vertical jump = 27 inches
Running vertical jump = 29 inches

I am just under 6 feet tall and my reach is 93" (7 feet 9 inches). My max height right now is 10 feet 2 inches. To be able to dunk (I can't palm the ball) would require getting at least 8 inches above the rim. So I'll need to gain at least 6 inches on my vertical to be able to throw it down.

Thanks for watching.

  • i'm 5'7. 25 2-step vertical. 22 standing. 27ish running. i wanna increase 7 or more inches. hopefully in 12 weeks. i'm a vball player so shiit i need hops. just started my strain this week.

  • @jthaoz cool man! good luck with your training!

  • @myjumpmanual j/w so basically you gained 2 inches every 3 weeks? some video of other people gained like 2-5 inch in a week or 2. some didn't gain any.

  • @jthaoz yeah...the results you get depend on how hard you work. how consistent you are. i think many guys give up after 1 week or 2 weeks because they aren't willing to pay the price. vertical jump gains don't happen overnight. takes weeks and sometimes months to get significant gains. keep workin hard and the results will come!

  • @myjumpmanual Lol u can say that again i quitted after 2 weeks but i'm back on it. gonna keep doing it until i can grab rim.

  • @jthaoz awesome man! go get it! if you follow the program, you will get solid results. let me know how it goes!

see all

  • @myjumpmanual Lol i was one of them i quitted after 2 weeks. but this time imma do it. my goal is to grab rim.

  • @ShadyMVP reach is how far you can touch standing flat footed when you reach up with one hand as high as you can. in order to figure out your vertical, you need to know what your reach is. for example, let's say your reach is 7'6" (90 inches). If you jump up and touch the rim, that means you just jumped 30 inches (120 inches - 90 inches = 30 inches)

  • this might seem like a stupid question, but when u say "reach" is 7'9", u mean the reach when u are fully stretched on ur toes and hand outstretched(without jumping) or do u mean, after jumping u can get upto 7'9"

    Its really confusing and I need to know, thnx
