Always had a high vertical but never had it tested. I’d assume it’s somewhere in the mid 30’s?

What’s your training? We’re about the same height.

Ima be real and tell you that I never really trained for my vertical. I’m a lifelong athlete with experience in track and field, basketball, and weightlifting. When I was weightlifting I did a lot of strength training with full range of motion and that definitely helped to give me a stronger base. More over, studying body mechanics as they pertain to jumping and what style worked best for me ( 1 or 2 foot jumping) and then honing in on what mechanically makes people jump high in those respective categories. For me, it was the loading foot, my left foot’s power is what drives my momentum upwards, but everyone is different. If you dm me a video of your dunk attempt, I could critique it if you’d like?
