I hope i was able to light a spark in any of you! This goes to show you that going hard day in and day out as well as years of consistency is all worth it at the end.
This one year positive progress since you try THP?
Get my head to touch the backboard got it because I can get my fingers over the rim now 14 5'11 not really good at self lobs tho
You didn't just light a spark, you showed us that it can be done! A glimpse of what the first destination looks like 🔥
😁
do lots of front squats and your power clean will jump up big. practice catching the bar much lower and front squatting it up.
we windmilling soon 🗣️🗣️📢📢

Nah we hitting the Vince cart elbow dunk easily
Yao Ming young brother! It’s genetics! But amazing 5’7”!
bro when that clip played I had a visible smile its so happy being able to watch your progress and goals come true.
I appreciate that a lot my guy
Yoooooo congrats bro! I’ll be at the dunk camp too
Ayeeee imma see you there my guy
I am 5.7 myself and I was obsessed with the idea to dunk a basketball back when in my high-school days.
I didn't do any weight training. Only stretching and body weight exercises. But mostly stretching and a lot's of crazy dunking on a shorter rims.
While similarly to you I could grab the 10ft rim with easy, but couldn't dunk. However, my most explosive jumps were from 1 foot.
But then I started to learn technique how to jump with both feet. And then I could finally make few EASY dunks from lobs, exactly how you did it here. But I was jumping like elbow above the rim.
After that I stopped jumping that high because my knees just couldn't handle and I realised that the price of the 10ft rim dunking for me was too high. Also I was playing a lot of ball, almost each day all day long. Yeah, I was obsessed. :)
However I'd like to share some of my findings:
1. High jumping requires explosives and very well timed moves.
2. Practice technique of jumping, search for effortlessness.
3. Keep building muscles, but don't over-stress your joints, better do more cycling instead of weight training - guys I've met who could fly were all cyclist with much more developed leg muscles that I've had.
4. Recover, recover, recover - always keep your knees fresh it is so easy to injure / reinjure them as I always say - it's almost comical. :)
5. Get inspired by other dunkers, look at the T-Dub and how much acceleration he produces on his extreme dunks, he literally takes-off.
6. Stretch your arms and have a loose and big shoulders - hands help a lot with producing vertical speed if properly.
7. Psychological aspect - yes, visualise and teach your consciousness to jump higher, your brain will limit your abilities if it's not trusting you yet.
And most of all - have fun, use lower rims, fool around, get loose, let your brain get used to the fact that you are dunker and that you are really enjoying it.
Cant wait to see whats next dude! I'm absolutely blown away by your progress, to go from injuries to dunking a second time is incredible. Proud of you bro, and keep up the grind 💪
So happy for you!
My guy🐐 THP is the real deal fr
BRO i been following this journey since like 2021 this is so hype to see, proud of u bro
you a real one bro! 2021 is literally when i started posting haha
Good shit my boy good shit, once I build the base of my athleticism I’ll start my dunking journey aswell. It’s nice to see someone finally hit goals that have been long strived for
The earlier you start the better! Takes a lot of commitment fr
You've definitely helped me! I used to not be able to jump high but now I'm flying above everybody! I give credit to you for inspiring me to reach further in my vertical jump.
AYEEEE
You should stand proud of your hard work and your physique. Really Impressive bro.
More than inspiring, keep pushing the limit!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS! it's been a long time coming! Been following along for over a year now. Since the hoop on the driveway days. Keep grinding.
Sheesh been 6 months since I started trying to jump higher and u were one of the people that really pushed me more hahah, hard work and consistency really pays of
the difference in vert you need to dunk compared to me is surprisingly low, since im 6'1, but my standing vert is like 7'9 and i need about 33-35 inches vert to dunk and you dunked with around 40, which is only a 5-7 inch difference when i thought standing reach was supposed to increase more exponentially through height, currently my vert is about 28 or so inches and ive been making some good progress, seeing your work finally pay off is motivating, gotta work hard but ofc remember to avoid injuries
Congratulations bro. I’m 6 feet and still on my way to being dunkable. I have to say this guys. The absolute strength is all that matters after you’ve been working on your plyometrics for a while and haven’t seen much progress cuz this is what I’m going through 😅. Anyway, good job bro.
i think what makes dunking harder for you is your short wingspan , im 5*9 my wingspan is 6 feet so it was pretty easy for me to dunk , keep pushing
I was just about to say… I’m 6’ with a 6’8” wingspan, and my vert is nowhere near 40”
@@zeroturn7091 dammmmmmn 6’8 , it was easy for you
fuck yeah dude. strong and nimble. i aspire to be like you
Its been a great journey so far . And most importantly you have stuck to it through good and bad . Glad your going to dunk champ in june . Should be a fantastic experience. Andy seems a decent guy and the camp has been such a success.
I appreciate you Andy! Will never forget that you've been there since the start
Great job bro!
Good job bro! Stay strong and healthy!
Dude great job getting back to dunking, I’ve been watching your videos and you’ve helped me a lot in my own journey. I’m the same height as you and I’m hoping to get my first dunk mid March.
Keep at it bro, can’t wait to see you at dunk camp!
Appreciate the hard work
Congratulations champ! Extremely motivational. Keep up the great work. 🔥🔥🔥
congrats dude. been watching your dunk journey. keep it up
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Striving is a beautiful things when you learn how to!❤😊 Strive on!
So happy for you man!!! Nice work!!! Definitely just the start 🏀 💥!!!
At 5-6” and 165 lbs I could only dunk a tennis ball. Never could get my hands over the top to dunk a basketball. My friends said it wasn’t just my hops they were impressed with it was the illusion of hang time. That was many fun years ago.
Dunk at 5'7 is crazy awesome
Appreciate you!!!
Jus found your channel, you is a hidden gem 👍🏾 keep up the grind
You are one good grip having basketball from consistent dunks bro😂 Congrats man🔥 love to see ur progress
Yessir! Its all about handling it
That’s how I could put it down, off two feet, but with left hand for whatever reason. Just seemed to give me more reach/height. Self-lob less consistently. Miss those days. Now I just swipe at the net.
Congratulations man. My first dunk was at 5-9 at age 16. I was a one foot jumper. Not many 5-7 dudes dunking, you are getting up ... however be careful with the weights. It looks like you are going to pull or strain something. Instead of maxing out 1 lift, I think less weight and more reps is better for you...I used to just put 100 lbs on a bar and squat mad reps....all the way down.....then use the same benching, lots of reps and good form.... anyway props to you, keep it going....
Congrats man, all worth it brother. Keep reaching man!
Congratulations!!!
congrats bro! Trying to dunk too, I'm 5'7
congrats bro!!🥳
Bro we are the exact same height and strength. Wish I could jump like you though!
Such a great accomplishment, netflix series coming soon.
Proud of u bro, keep with the good work
Congrats bro. Right now I'm 5' 5" and 14 years old. I just started hitting the gym not even weeks before I turned 14. I've been at the leg press and doing squats nearly non stop. You somewhat inspired me to start deadlifting because I have overly muscular calves so that may be a good extra workout for me. Oh and I forgot the mention. My standing reach last time I checked, which was several months ago was 6' 10" so I believe my vertical is approaching 30 inches. I hit backboard for the first time a month or two ago and my goal is to dunk some day. I have a couple years of growing left so if I'm lucky I'll hit 6 foot, if not, an inch or two under. I'm fairly athletic, abs, roughly 5.3 40. A concern is I cannot palm a basketball with around 8 inch hands. I'm not that heavy, around 115 pounds currently but yeah I want to make myself a life goal and path to do this so let's get it!
bro i have the exact same shit as you
5,5 14 115
That's crazy
Nice, congrats man how old are you?
Awesome bro, be careful with the deadlifts. Literally every single person I know who deadlifts regularly have fucked up backs and nerve problems
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am for you !!!congrats
2:55 looks like ur just floating on the air lmao! i bet u'll be consistently dunking soon enough. hopefully i can get close to your vert someday!
3:22 this goddamn smile - well done dude
:D
Bro, you are True Hero.
Congratulations bro 🎉 I have to that was clean👌🏾
Congrats man!!
even the missed attempts are still pretty impressive given your size.
Congrats
This is CRAZY!
Yes sir🔥🔥🔥 proud of you
🥹
Amazing.
Fire dude keep progressing
Congratulations! keep it going.
Can you show your entire sneaker collection???
Goat activites
Ayy hell yeah that was clean bro!
What's up Rick! Congratulations on you Win! What is your reach above the rim?
I think that you are able to dunk easily. However rather than throwing or slamming the ball in (against) the (back of) rim you have to tip, palm and put the ball in (down) the basket.
There are a few guide on youtube as well. Might want to go check them out. See if it improves your dunking abilities.
Also I think, that you should practice dunking with ball in hands. That should improve coordination and build leg power.
Good shit bro mad impressive
congrats man , i been train for couple years but still didnt get there yet
Yoo been watching you since about a year ago. Im so happy for you! One question I have though is how much does your personal coaching cost? Thanks!
Get a measuring tape and measure the rim, LA fitness rims are usually a little lower than 10 feet.
Get yourself some Derrick Rose 2's Restomod. They are SUPER light. I'm 5'9 and when I was younger, I did similar training (with the OG shoe of course), never got to 300lb mark but really close. You need to work on your gather/take off because something that simple will improve your consistency in throwing down. Dunk camp will definitely break that down. Bad ass seeing future lil' guys throw down. When you get it consistent, don't tell anyone you got the dunking down. Play pickup and toss it down. I promise you that is the funniest shit ever. That's how I landed my future wife. She had no idea. Dude missed a layup and it hit backboard/side of rim and I timed it perfect. 😂
Congrats on your first dunk! Hard work pays off! 🎉And I also wanted to ask about knee pain because I’ve had it 7 months ago, but recovered from it since I stopped squatting. I’ve not felt it since 7 months ago, however I started squatting back last month, and sometimes I would feel a 1/10 pain when I do isometrics, is that a bad sign? And how can I know when my knee is healthy enough to never get tendinitides back?
lets goo💪🏼🙌🏼
I hope you see this, this is my first video I’ve watched. So far I love the channel, if you don’t mind me asking how did you go from being able to dunk then not being able to dunk.
A lot of training, a lot of dunking reps in, consistency
Bro, I’m 15 6’0 and I’m trying to work my way up. Me watching you is helping. I’m starting to jump and hold on to rim on 9 ft.
I'm really happy for you bro! Congratulations from Spain!
One quick question, How would you rate the Kobe 5 for dunking?
Best regards :)
My go to pair = 10/10
We eastbaying soon with this one 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome stuff!!! Are you still doing THP?
Yup!
5'7 people dunking but my 6'1 ass can't
Congratulations my idol
Weekly workout? Workout routine?
What's your injury prevention plan for 2024 and doing plyometrics without getting knee pain?
The goal is to train smart and to not ego my way through. But it starts to reach a point where there's a very thin line between progress and injury so I gotta be careful with that.
Congratulations!
My first dunk was at the age of 32… that was 3 years ago…I’m about 5 10
That impressive bro!
Bro looks like a 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Nice bro, i know you will one day windmill or something. Because you are putting the work to deserve it.
Definitely the next goal
Be careful with the deadlifts. Wear a belt on those heavy attempts and don't try to muscle it up with your ego and break form just to say you did it.
Inspiring! How often are you doing plyos/ dunk session in order to progress while staying with "Healthy Kness"
do lots of front squats and your power clean will jump up big. practice catching the bar much lower and front squatting it up.
So proud my guy
Congrats bro, what is your standing reach?
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉
i see those smile before
1:20 gyat
Been waiting for this🎉🎉
Nice work dude how long did it take you to dunk from grabbing rim the first time? I can grab it with one hand and make it shake after a bit if I had to guess I'd say I need maybe 4-5 more inches on my vertical. I can also dunk a tennis ball on my best days. What time frame would you say I need to dunk?
Do some Hip Flexor work, watch knees over toes guy. Will help you!
How did u lift without putting on weight. Your muscles look lean 👍🏻
Your workout regimen is commendable, but incorporating calf exercises, such as calf raises, could significantly enhance your jumping ability.
Yea and what’s your vertical buddy
Even from the video you can clearly see (in slowmo), that it was a palm (tip) in rather, than a throwdown or a slam.
You'd need to jump higher to achieve the latter. Anyway, much success in that direction!
I agree!
@penguinz0 where you at
Yo ima tune in make more videos bruh
I’m trying to get my first dunk I’m 5’8”
YOU GONNA GET THERE
Thanks bro you inspire 💪
Riq wer proud of you!!!❤
My guy!!!
ngl I thought bro was 57
Im 5’8.5” and Im barely touching 10 foot
If you don’t mind me asking bc I would also like to train, why didn’t you dead lift for a year?
Yoo! jus wondering what's your standing reach?
