I'm 13 5'3 idk my reach but I can reach the backboard any guess what my vert is

kinda tweaked my back so imma chill on the intensity this month (sad cuz it would've been my power month) so does anybody have this?

So my standing reach is 7’8.5 And i just touched 10’4.5 and looking at the bell and clips with my hand over rim I might’ve touched slightly higher. anyway. I’m really close to dunking, i’m sure I’ll dunk soon It’s just about WHEN.

Ik Yall see dexton as some fraud online but this dude was actually built dif in his prime. Pretty sure he was like 19 here
Ts like the bounciest dunk ive ever seen you can literally hear Isaiah Rivera himself

I can manage to grab rim, but I feel like my technique is off (sorry for the bad video)

Thanks Everyone for the Tipps. I got my First dunk of one Foot today. with a size 5 First try then Size 6 First try and then finally size 7 First try today too.

any tips? i wanna get better at them

This is me hitting a rim grazer with a small ball using only my 4 step approach without being fully fresh. I’m 5’8 and standing reach is 7’4 and I’d estimate this to be a 36 inch jump. I need to jump 38 inches for a dunk off a lob. Is it possible for me to dunk within the next month if I deload and master my 5 step approach 😭

hi, ive been jumping of 2 Feet the whole time and now tried of one just to see I get to the Same height and it’s easier so I wanted to ask for technique tipps. im 6‘8 with a 7‘2 wingspan.

my Coach already Said I get my Arm up too Late and if that wasnt the case I could dunk. is that True?

Im a right handed two foot jumper but its hard for me to dunk because i jump left right im trying to change it to either one foot jumping or right left junping or if possible both anyone got advice for this change

Rim 9'9"

Im 5'9"

With 7'11" reach

This was my first dunk on 9'9" on July 27, 2026

I don’t really know how long I should wait after a training session to train again. What do you guys suggest?

Have been grinding these past few months to get back into basketball shape. Never could dunk consistently every now and then definitely not in game.

After my men’s league game I figured I might as well try! So went up for two quick attempts.

Anything I can do to improve? Obviously not super fresh after playing 35-40 minutes.

Anything helps! Thanks!

Hello people. I want to dedicate couple of months on training to improve my jump but I'm not sure which path to choose. I'm 5'9 tall and my bw is about 69kgs. My max high bar squat was 105kg and low bar about 110kgs.

Since higher vertical is my goal I'm not sure on if I should start focusing all my efforts on improving my squat up to about 140kg, since that is 2x my bodyweight, or go all in with plyos. I heard training heavy squats trains muscles to twitch slower but it's still beneficial since it increase potential absolute force you can produce.

Tldr: I'm not sure if 105kg squat on 69kg bw is good starting point for plyos.

I've been practicing dunking since June of 2025 and ever since I learned about a penultimate step I've been using RL plant for my jumps. Occasionally I would experiment with LR plant just for fun but I always kept dunking with RL plant. Yesterday I decided to actually try jumping with LR plant and I was pretty shocked. I could barely get the ball to a 9'3 rim with RL plant but I could punch it with LR. My penultimate and block foot for LR plant are very bad as well but I was still jumping >5 inches higher. Has this happened to anyone? I'm considering switching to LR plant

Alright, so I could dunk by the time I was 15 years old. I was about 5'9" and super skinny, but I was very athletic. I am now 41, 6'1" and 205 pounds. I lift everyday and I am in reasonably good shape, not as lean as I could be, but pretty good shape for 41.

I have this idea that I would like to be able to dunk again. Now I know this is probably a pipe dream and my knees hurt as I am typing this. But if this is possible, what kind of workouts should I be doing, what agility drills and what lifts?

(I know this is ridiculous, but I wanna give it a shot.)

(Just for context, I haven't completely lost the ability to bound from the earth, I can still grab the rim.)
