I'm testing my vertical each Monday using the Just Jump system so I can accurately track my progress. My goal today was to get 29" and I'm very pleased to say that I got 29.9" which is 1.8" improvement from last week where my best no-step jump was 28.1". If only I could go up 1.8" every week now that would be amazing!
About 6 months ago when I was jumping my best, I'm pretty sure my no-step vertical was around 31" so I'm getting close to being back at my peak. Here's the video from today's no-step vert test. I somehow messed up the recording of my 29.9" jump but have my second best jump at 29.5" on video. Check it out!
Glad to hear you are making up lost progress so quickly. You should be back to your all-time high in no time. Let us know how you are liking some of the exercises this time around.
ReplyDeletethanks man! i'm hoping to get 31 next week!
Deletei have modified my workouts for this round of training and am liking it a lot! i will give more details during the next few weeks.
Here is the link to my 9'6"dunk on may 30th http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X30xWX54MZI. If you pause it at my highest point it looks like I am about 3-4" over the rim with my wrist. You got that 2 hand dunk deadline coming up on you in about a month!! Keep up the work man!
ReplyDeleteLooking good man! You will be dunking on 10 feet soon bro!
DeleteI´m 39 years old, 6´1" height, at 34 I was able to touch the rim with 2 hands with a standing jump, and dunk with a one leg runing jump, But after 3 surgery, I with a lot dificult to even touch the rim with a runing jump. What training are you doing? I want to recover some of my speed and jumping abilty, and I don´t know what type or how to train to get that back. Thanks for the blog, and keep that work!!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I heard the other day when I was leaving my gym.
ReplyDeleteTwo girls were chilling near the basketball court at the back of my gym complex. They were watching a 3-on-3 game which abruptly ended when the biggest guy decided to jump straight up, knock the defender flat on his ass and dunk on him while he was laying sprawled on the blacktop.
That's when the blonde cheekily whispered this confession to her smoking-hot Asian friend in pink sweatpants:
"Nothing's hotter than a guy who can dunk."
And can you guess what the Asian hottie replied? She whimpered:
"Uh huhhh!"
This got me thinking. I mean, for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to dunk. It's been a lifelong dream of mine, but I really had no idea girls found it hot. I guess it makes sense though since most people have this belief you need to be the most athletic dude around to be able to jump that high.
But the fact is that's just not true anymore.
Breakthrough research has surfaced recently about the exact 'levers' which allow people to jump ridiculously high. So naturally, 2 genius basketball players took this research and used it to transform regular guys who can't even touch the rim into dudes who can dunk with 2 hands every time and with ease.
One of these geniuses is a pro basketball player and the other is the world's highest dunker (I think it's safe to say they know what they're doing LOL) They're getting a ton of media hype these days and blowing up on Youtube so I thought I'd let you know about them.
And it's great timing too since they've just released all their crazy vert jump body hacks and techniques. They've been teaching people this stuff in secret for years but now it's available to the public in a badass program.

It's pretty crazy stuff so check it out.
