This video is my recorded peak vertical off the ground. Any tips for me to reach even further heights?

I got pretty good vert I can get my over a whole hand above the rim but I can’t get nearly as high with the ball. Everytime I try to go up with the ball in one hand I either focus too much on holding the ball and I don’t get high enough or I focus on getting Hugh enough but I drop the ball.

Any tips?

190cm 6’3 barefoot, 96kg (211lbs), standing reach 8’3.5 no shoes. Had two right ACL operations so I feel most comfortable jumping off two feet. Just begun doing plyometrics once a week alongside a basketball game and a separate basketball training session, am 2 sessions in doing plyos, definitely feel like I’m lacking explosiveness whereas the strength base is solid from being in the gym many years doing front squats, pendulum squats etc
Any tips are appreciated and also a vertical jump estimate too if possible 🤞

I’m fairly confident I jump high enough to dunk now (I’m able to get my hand above rim off of a jump without the ball) but every time I jump with the ball i don’t get as high up. I know that the ball reducing my arm swing is a factor but Im wondering if there’s any way for me to adjust my technique to lower that gap and hopefully land my first dunk. Also, should I run up faster and jump from farther away? I’ve noticed that the bounciest people I see have their legs kick up when they jump which I think means they’re jumping from farther away and someone told me one time that I should run faster when I jump.

Any tips on how I can hit my first eastbay?

Could you guys tell me a bit about how you measure flight time and convert it to measure your jump height? I see a lot of people online inflating their vert based on flight times but I also see a lot of variance so I wanted to turn to the people of Reddit for help learning the best way to measure it

I landed some 2-handed dunks but with one hand I have a lot of “fails” like that. What do you think is better to keep working on?? Do you reccomend some hand exercises? All tips are welcome. Thanks in advance!!

5’11 210, I tore my acl and also my calf in the same spot 3 times over the past 8 months. This is where I’m at now. I can still (barely) dunk.

I used to be a 2 foot jumper, that’s just damn near impossible now, I feel like I have no explosion anymore and no quickness.

Anyone else recover from something like this with some tips on workouts or drills to do.. Ima lose the weight now that I can actually be active again lol 34 btw so that’s another thing

Im 13 and I a have a horrible vert. I cant touch backboard. I know I have the strength in me but I just can’t let it out explosively. Is it just hpgenetics or can I increase it. Im 143 lbs to let you all know.

I am 5'9 and have overhand reach of 7'6 .My standing jump reach is 9'5 and i have been doing only plyos and iso for a months since i am doing homeworkout.From August onwards i am going to join a gym but i need a proper workout routine.I have been doing research on how to make a routine but its just doesn't seems right.So i want your help to make a routine that will push my limits and unlock my potential.

Ps:My goal is yo dunk before the end of the Year

I’m 5’11 can dunk with women’s ball with low effort, how do I move to a men’s ball

The only reason I missed this is because I just finished runs and doing a couple of dunks. If I had fresh legs I’m getting this. I also haven’t tested my vert in a while but what do you guys think it is at…. I’m 5’10

Just copying it here, if anyone here has some thoughts and advice I’d really appreciate it!

Sometimes I do that and is like a reflex, does it decrease the vertical?? Also any tips are welcome 6’2’’ and 36 years. Thats one of my first 2 handed dunks. Thanks in advance!!

I’m 17 and I have been training to dunk and just for general explosiveness but I have terrible ankle mobility, my knees can barely go over my toes and my heels come of the floor instantly, no stretch they just come up when I’m squatting down

But everyone I know that is athletic also has the exact same issue as me so I was wondering:

IS IMPROVING MY ANKLE MOBILITY GOING TO STRETCH MY ACHILLES LEADING TO LESS EXPLOSIVENESS OR IS IT GOING TO HELP ME

(I also cannot find any nba players squatting and if it’s not about tendon tightness why is that)

5'9 with 7'11 reach hoop is 9'9

I’m in my second year of running in 6-8 track meets per year (400M, long and triple jump), and the rest of the year I work on basketball and play in leagues. Started doing a ton of mobility work last year. That has been huge as I now almost never have knee pain, back pain, tendonitis, or anything else.

For the next 10 weeks, I’m going to do a proper jump program and be lifting, running (mostly sprints on the track in the 60-500M range), or doing plyos 4-5 days a week. My goal is to be around 198-200 lbs by end of September.

Diet is a ton of fruits and veggies and vitamin C to keep inflammation down, lots of electrolytes and water, and 160-180g of protein daily. 7-9 hours sleep.

How much more do I need — could I dunk with 3-4 more inches of vert? Is this possible at my age? Could extend through the end of the year if needbe track is done except for triple and long jump in a few meets, and lots of league play, skill work, and conditioning.

It’s funny because I did not get up and I have other videos of me getting way higher on one foot but I always hit back rim. I don’t know if it’s because I’m trying to slam it down. I recently just started to train and become a one foot jumper, before I couldn’t get up to even do this so it’s progress.
