Default Re: Dunking in basketball

Important factors would be your HS weight vs. your weight now, and your relative conditioning then vs. now.

If you're really serious about it you're going to have to increase your leg strength substantially, but, the good news is that's not very hard to do in a relatively untrained individual. Think about it logically- the basic measure for leg strength is squat, so let's say you can squat 250 LBS, and you weight 185-ish. If you're hanging on the rim now, consider what you might be able to do squatting 350 weighing 175.

I'd reccomend setting out on a 16 week course to improve your vertical over those 16 weeks.

If you want a program i'd be happy to provide one. It takes a long time to explain so before i waste that much time typing out week by week workouts, figure out if you really care that much about dunking.

List your weight then vs. now, conditioning then vs. now, what's available to you gym-wise.
