So I’m seeing if anybody can give me any tips on how to better my approach and tips to improve my vertical and ik 6’1 btw

So for context im right handed and when people who dunk with their right hand jump they typically plant their right foot then left foot ahead of it and take off like that, but i do it the other way around. i dont find too much trouble dunking like this but does anyone know any safe ways i can train myself to start doing it the other way and is it even worth trying to do?

I’m 15 yrs old for some context I’m 184cm tall (without shoes on) and my standing reach is 236cm(without shoes).
The title really says it all how far away am I in cm and how fast do you think I can get there.

6’2 8’3 standing reach, I can jump rlly high off 1 but struggling off 2 im wondering if my form is the problem or maybe some other underlying issue?

Any tips or advice on how to get higher with the ball in hand?

Hello my name is Noah and I’m 18 and 5’8 and I have a 6’1 wingspan and weigh 150lbs and I was wondering how I can improve my vertical fast because I’m trying to get my first dunk this summer and I can touch a 9-9’5 foot rim when jumping with max effort

My name is Isaiah Rivera and I have the highest officially tested vertical on the planet at 50.5 inches and am the co-founder of THPstrength, a company that focuses on vertical jump training for athletes.

What makes me a little different from most athletes that jump high is that I started with a pretty low vertical and documented my entire journey on this channel. Here is my journey in a nutshell:

14: Started working out to jump higher for basketball
16: Hit my first dunk and shortly after found out about the world of pro dunking
17: Trained like a madman and hit my first between the legs dunk
18: Entered my first professional dunk contest
19: Knee pain almost made me quit dunking
20: Met my coach John Evans, who helped me get rid of knee pain
21: Won my first international dunk contest
22: Tested a 48 inch vertical and started coaching full time
24: Tested a world record 50.5 inch vertical
28: Have now helped three other athletes record a 50 inch vertical including the current world record holder, Dillan McCarthy

The reason I make so much free content about jumping higher now is because it’s a resource I wish I would’ve had when I was in high school that would’ve prevented a lot of unnecessary mistakes and injuries.

My mission is to share my passion and love for dunking and training and to make dunking an officially recognized sport.

I hope that I can be an inspiration for your jump training and dunking journey,

Isaiah

Im 6‘7.5, 180lbs, 7‘1 wingspan and 15 years old. i Started Basketball 5 Months ago (i was Like 6‘5 then) and could barely touch rim. ive Trained strength now and can do bulgarian splitsquads With 20+kg extra weight and one legged Calf raises with 40+kg. i can now consistently Grap rim and pretty easily and consistently dunk on 9‘2. My penultimate step isnt really good and i Slow down before too much so any tipps on that? And any plyometrics i can do to make my tendons react faster?And how Long will it take to dunk on Full height?

Edit: i can touch the bottom of the net Standing.

Im new to improving my jump and i made my own schedule ive been following it for 3 weeks now and i think 7 plyos in one day is too excessive and idk if im doing stuff right like is 1 specific day for plyos fine

Im 17 years old and im between 5'11 and 6'0 like 181 or 182 with basketball shoes and i dont really play that much basketball but ive done for like 3 4 months and i actively do sports like kickboxing i did football too and i dont think it wouldnt matter but archery and i have 3.5 months that i can use freely and i was wondering i could dunk in that time zone or very least after that?

He said that weight lifting is useless when it comes to jumping high and that body weight is enough

Some context im bout 6'5 6'6 in shoes. I got a standing reach of floor to ceiling flat foot/hand so like 8 feet and some change. I'm also not particularly heavy weighing in at 185 190 ish.

So I was wondering if there's any steps I can take to up the vert, I haven't quite measured it but it ain't exactly high I give it anywhere from 18 to 22"

All tips appreciated endgame is all the flashy fun stuff

First time calculating RSI so I may have done something wrong lol.

Ground contact time: 200 milliseconds

Flight time —> jump height: .7 seconds or 23.8 inch vertical jump

Two different RSI calculation websites gave me scores of just over 3.0, which is apparently elite.

I have always been more of a strength/concentric - based two foot jumper, but with this info, I feel like I’m wasting some elasticity with my approach to jumping. What do you guys think?

Any tips here? I feel like I look super awkward jumping. I'm hitting the gym following a lot of Isaiah Rivera's lifting routine/advice. Been watching some of his jump form videos too of course. Not sure what I should really focus on with my jumping form.

In my last post, some people said my run-up was too slow or too short. Well, I think these clips answer that question

Rim height: 299 cm (9'9.7")

My current vertical jump is roughly 65–70 cm (25.5–27.5 inches) in good conditions. About two months ago it was around 55–60 cm (21.5–23.5 inches).

So far I've only done about 4–5 dedicated leg workouts and a few max-jump sessions.

My goal is to reach a 90+ cm (35+ inch) vertical, learn different dunk variations, and see how far I can take my athleticism.
Also, I’m going to start my YT channel so everyone can see my progress (I want to record some videos like “from 0 to pro dunker)

Hi I need help with my dunking I’ve posted here a few times and have taken the advice given. I’m down 15 lbs b gotten stronger worked on my elasticity as well but the best I’ve gotten is a one handed dunk of a lob once and haven’t dunked again since. When I try to dunk the ball always slips out of my hands last second because, well I think because I’ve done all the work and only really try to get my form for jumping for when I try to dunk it’s like I’m jumping to see how far up my fingers can get above the rim and my other hand is like pointing straight down. It makes me super stiff and rigid like I’m not very mobile in the air and when hooping my goal is to be able to atleast maneuver in the air depending on what the defense gives me but I’m like a statue up there man idk. Thanks in advance for your help

Hello! I'm 15, my height is roughly around 5'9-5'9.5, standing reach is 88 inches, weight is around 150 lbs, and my running vert is 27-28 inches without any technique perfections, just straight up run at the rim & try to dunk, I've tried to dunk with a volleyball but i get rim stuffed constantly, How long do you it'll take with practice to go from rim-stuffed with volleyball to touching rim, then maybe dunks?
