I'm 6ft 1 and can't even touch a basketball hoop, let alone dunk. I have no idea how to become a better jumper, whats some good workouts (squats would work, no?) to increase the height I can jump to.picture kinda related, I think its called the 720 dunk.
SQUATZSquatz will hugely increase your leg strength, but remember, jumping relies on power (explosiveness) rather than pure strength
I know how you feel, I'm 6'4" and can barely touch the top of the rim while my 5'8" friends can dunk rings around me...
power clean, snatch, squats, the lot are usefull.Power clean\snatch are good because they teach you to explode.
>>137610Is there any way to specialise in 'power'. Or is it just something you have to practice when jumping, putting all of your power into the one movement.
Plyometrics. Jumping is all about the hips btw.
>whats some good workouts (squats would work, no?) to increase the height I can jump to.Squatz, plyometrics, jump roping, flexibility training
try being black.
>>137668I am black..
You're black and you can't jump ?Shame on you...
>>137696Could always try using his cock as a pogo stick and slam dunk that fucker.Try it out and let us know.
