Hey, I think something that would reallllly help is really focusing on powerfully swinging the ball up as you go for a dunk. Especially on one handers, you can start with the ball in both hands and thrust it into the hand you will be dunking with up above your head. If you time this with your jump it can make you jump a lot higher with a ball in your hand, as it gives you some of the power you lose from not having an arm swing.
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I think that makes a ton of sense. My approach and using my arms are things I really have to work on. Thanks again!
I’m 5’6 at thirteen and I always see ppl dunk. After watching this and two months later from barely touching the net I can grab ten feet easily. Thanks for the motivation. I barely trained with weights and focused on 100m dash and technique.
Huge tip my guy: Never slow down when you go to jump. Always speed up. You can practice like 3 steps/ 3 fast steps and explode into the jump but speed up as you jump!!! 💯
That is great advice. I feel like I have been slowing down on my approach, maybe because I am focusing on footwork. But I agree with you, I should try to explode into the jump. Thank you!
You deserve more subs. Tip: do some plyometrics they helped me ALOT. In only a month I went from not touching net to getting to the middle of the net. I am only 5’0.
dunking is a plyometric itself so yeah plyometrics can help but it’s better to stay specific to what you want to get better at, while including general strength work since training specifically for a long periods of time may lead to injury. You are doing great and this is really good approach just don’t give up man you got this
back in my teens i remember my first time dunking on 9ft 6 i was pretty hyped up being only 5ft5 i was on my way to dunking on 10 ft ….after high school my interests changed to djing so all my jump progress as a kid went away .. i never quite dunked on 10 ft but man i came close… enjoy the process
As a dunker big tips, Use your arms more like send find your arms up with the ball as you dunk. Also just keep trying, and consider doing plyometiric training. Examples include explosive squatting as when dunking its important to get off the ground as fast as possible. Just work on being explosive and using your upperbody when dunking more.
Awesome, thank you for the tips. I will try to do more explosive work, right now 90% of my training are "slow" reps, but it makes sense to do more things similar to dunking (explosive squatting). Thanks again!
First off, thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! If you are asking how I have come this far in my dunk progress, I am actually working on a video right now where I take you through my week of training. I am excited to share, so be on the look out for that. I think it will better show how I have come this far than I would be able to explain here. Thanks again for watching!
I was wondering if you’d be interested in consulting a basketball expert on your physical technique? Maybe the two of you could review your best dunks from the series?
Well, my brother Luke coaches a team, he might be willing to be interviewed. But if we can't get him, we can see if Jordan's doing anything, now that he's retired.@@RyanCS10
Thank you so much! I have been watching RUclips videos for over a decade before making my first video, so I feel like I had a vision for what I wanted to make, then taught myself Premiere Pro. Lots of googling/RUclips for help though lol.
GOOD JOB!! 9.9/10 but only because I was anxiously waiting for your game to be interrupted by a screeching little white dog the entire video. Keep it up Egg Man
I am 5'10'' BUT I have been working out with the goal of dunking for 5 months now. It definitely doesn't happen overnight, but if you trained for it you could do it!
@@RyanCS10 yeah, im also 13 years old and i want to be able to dunk before the summer, im not too sure how feasible that is but i have a 28 inch vert right now and i need about 32-34 to dunk, also for increasing your very you usually want to be doing a pretty long session of just trying to touch as high as you can or dunking on lower rims, most people do it for 1-4 hours per week, as well as mixing some plyos and weightlifitng across the week, though you can spread the jump sessions around the week
Don’t get hurt. You have to learn some techniques about landing first. I was injured from practicing dunk due to bad landing form and consistently jumping without rest. Fortunately, after 8 months recovery and 4 months training, my vertical even getting improved than before. I am 35y and 5’10 only ,I can dunk 9’10 rim finally. by the way my son just 1y, dunk is really not easy for me.😭 Hope you getting better !
Thank you for the advice! My biggest goal is to not get injured (even if it takes longer to get to dunking). Glad you are recovered! I bet it is hard to do while having kids, good for you!

That's fun, congratz on getting success with your dunks and RUclips algorithm, keep going :)
Thank you, I really appreciate that!

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing your progress, keep it up! The sprinting helped a lot I bet! I actually just posted a video about sprinting.
Bro you deserve more subs. This was acutally entertaining as shit
Really appreciate that! I'm glad you enjoyed it
"I slipped. I slip. I slip"
too dang slippy out there
I like the idea of being more in the body with the mind than achieving what the seeking eye can evolve. 💌🏀🔭🌟
love the vid man keep on going :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
best vid ive seen in a while.

Thank you! Glad to hear plyos helped you! I do plan on a working those in more, right now I just do 10-20 minutes a week (all in one session).

Hey man, really loved the vid, can you please tell me how you’ve come this far?

If you work out for your vert, best exercise is to always jump to your max height for whatever type of plyometrics you're doing
Good piece of advice, I totally agree
I was wondering if you’d be interested in consulting a basketball expert on your physical technique? Maybe the two of you could review your best dunks from the series?
Do you know of a basketball expert? This is a great idea.

Love the editing. Overall great work with blocking and angles. Is this something you learned just for RUclips, did you take a course?
Thank you so much! I have been watching RUclips videos for over a decade before making my first video, so I feel like I had a vision for what I wanted to make, then taught myself Premiere Pro. Lots of googling/RUclips for help though lol.

No that dog was far away, I made sure of it.
The intro thumbnail, is that an egg in the upper right corner? 😂
That is indeed an egg. Part of my branding.
How tall are you and do you workout for this im 6' and I needa judge myself to see if im just bad if i cant dunk
I am 5'10'' BUT I have been working out with the goal of dunking for 5 months now. It definitely doesn't happen overnight, but if you trained for it you could do it!
i'd only say its disappointing if you cant dunk if youre over 6'4, under that then its fine
im 6'1 and i can nearly dunk on 9'7, havent tried 9'6 but i'd prob barely be able to on a good day
Awesome! Are you currently training to dunk?

Thank you! I'm 5'10''
do u do plyometrics or just weighs...thanks
Right now, I am doing one 20 minute plyometric session a week. I am thinking about increasing that though!
how tall are u
5'10'' so it's an uphill battle
quick tip: eat 8 eggs instead of 1. nah just playing w u, srsly tho keep up the good work
haha finally some good advice. Thank you!
How tall are you?
5'10''
How tall are you
