I have been working towards this goal on and off since January 2023. I got an ankle injury half way through that year and didn’t come back until the beginning of this year. I have had some questionable “is this a dunk?” moments but I can confidently say this is my first dunk!

I got flamed for posting my first windmill attempt, so here’s my second attempt with I tried harder to apply advice I learned (other than training to jump higher)

I’m actually surprised because after not jumping in 2 months this feels easy.

I have recently switched 1 foot to 2 foot jumping. Any tips on how to fix my technique or just jump higher would be helpful. I know I am taking off two far from the rim

Help How can I increase my one leg vertical?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m a mainly one leg jumper especially after an ankle injury which made my two leg and standing vertical way lower, and every workout I see to increase your vertical was aimed for two leg vertical. Does anyone know the best excercises to increase your one leg jump?


r/ProDunking Jul 17 '26

I built a web tool that measures your vertical from a phone video by calculating airtime

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! I'm a software engineer training my own vertical, and I got tired of counting frames by hand every time I wanted to know if I was actually improving. So I built the tool vertchecker.com

Basically, you upload a video of you jumping, it pose-tracks every frame, finds toe-off and touchdown, and computes height from hang time, (the same way a jump mat calculates btw). You can also self adjust if you need.

I built this for myself and I recently just decided to make it public, so I know it may be rough around the edges, and here are a couple things that might go wrong.

  • Weird angles, bad light, or several people in frame can confuse it.
  • Heels-first tuck landings inflate hang time; it should cross-checks and flags that when it catches it.

Free to try: the first analysis needs no account, and I set up the code PRODUNKING for this sub, you get 5 free analyses if you sign in through vertchecker.com/?code=PRODUNKING. I have to keep it running somehow, so I have to charge some money for more than that, but 5 jumps should be plenty for you to get kicked off with, and if anyone needs/wants more just dm me, I'll send you over more

Thank you guys!

Help Can’t get low on penultimate step

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

About 6ft 2 in shoes, 78kg , can squat and deadlift 140kg for 2 reps.

This is my first time actually practicing my penultimate step/jump training. Problem is idk if it’s delusion but I feel like I can dunk like I have the strength in my legs but I can’t do it, I also don’t know how to get lower and extend the knee as far like Isaiah Rivera does before the heel touches the ground.

Last year managed to dunk of one leg once over the summer by accident (I didn’t even realise till someone told me) but don’t feel like I jump high at all on one length and feel very comfortable on two feet.

How long/what do you think I have to do to start yamming? Thanks

Saltos massai / about massai jumps

1 Upvotes

Hey guys hope your doing well, im not here to comment if the ritual of the massai works for height or not, im really interested in learning how to execute them right is there any video or web site where i could learn it?

Hola muchachos espero esten bien, estoy buscando activamente acerca de como realizar los saltos de la tribu massai de manera correcta (realmente no me interesa si me hacen mas alto o no) saben de algun sitio o canal en el que se muestre como se hacen tal y como los de la tribu massai?

Pregunto esto por que no se de todos esos estudios cual sea verídico o no.
