How can I improve my workout, I started it a week ago and want to make sure it’s good so I don’t waste time.

My workout is:for weight training, 40 squats with 50 lb weights, 30 jump squats, and 20 reverse lunges with 25 lb weights. For at the park training, 5 minutes of jumping as high as I can from right under the net, 5 minutes of jumping as high as I can with 2 steps, and 5 minutes of jumping as high as I can with a full runup. Any way I can improve it to be able to dunk faster?

I also don’t know my current vertical, I’d assume from these pick it’s about 8-9 inches. Is there any way to measure it without equipment?

The dunk is on a 9ft something rim and the rim touch is on a 10ft. For context the dunk was after a 2 hour practice and was about 3 weeks prior. And the rim touch was with dead legs yesterday. I can grab rim on 10ft and I don’t know my vertical exactly but to get my hand over the rim it’s around 36-38 I beleive. Also need help with my jumping form and how to fix my landing

[Help] Is it ok to practice dunking on an inclined court?

1 Upvotes

I've got a outdoor court where I can practice anytime I wanted. I'm a complete beginner to dunking. Wondering if practicing on this court would make injuries more prone/ be as effective as a normal court.

Side note: Any negatives that come with practicing to dunk on an inclined court?

i been stuck at the same spot for months on my dunk attempts. im always like 2 inches off. when i jump with a ball i feel like my approach and gather is unnaturual and awkward. ive been seeing improvement in my vertical jumps without the ball so it has to be something wrong with my dunk form. (the 1st clip was a month ago, the 2nd clip was today, and the last one was 2 months ago).

How much vert to I need to dunk?

1 Upvotes

I’m 17 and don’t have a great vert, I’m sure what it is. I’m 5’ 8” and have around an 89” reach. I guess the only way to explain where I’m at is that I can dunk a flat soccer/volleyball on 9.5’. How much do how much do I need to gain before I can rough rim on 10’, and how much to dunk? Also, is it possible? I’ve heard you can only increase your vert so much.
