THE MOST IMPORTANT VERT TIP🚀

[tmjacob]

That makes totally sense, we focus wayyy to much on preparation but you can't be more prepared than when doing the action itself

[lofton]

Facts. I’m 5’9 and was able to dunk before my recent injury. All I’ve ever done is calf raises, explosive squats, and practicing jumping.

[johncardinal]

This is facts. The people who grow their vert the most are the ones who don’t care about getting rimstuffed and just keep on trying and jumping.

[STZE]

I always tell my little brother “you can’t get faster if you don’t run” as a metaphor for absolutely EVERYTHING in life!!

[antoine.-]

We try to find every "trick" to get better at something when we have been prooved for a long time that doing said activity is the way to progress efficiently, and it seems logical..

[myjciskate]

Practicing jumping is technically a form of plyometrics though. Most good vertical jump strength and conditioning will have plyos and practice jumps programmed into them.

I love that cutoff scream at the end. 😂

This is very true. I’m 5’7 but a few months ago I couldn’t even touch the rim. I didn’t know at the time that this would work but everytime I went to the park I’d try to touch the rim a few times. Ofc I failed. But then one day I touched it off vert. I was so extremely excited it was unbelievable. A few weeks later I could touch it with ease. Some more time passes by and now I can slightly grab the top of the rim(on a good day) fast foward to today and now I can hang on the rim with relative ease and I don’t even need to be warm to do so. My goal is to dunk one day. Mind you this is all from just trying to touch the rim a few times everytime I went to the park and a little weight lifting on thr side. I can’t imagine how far I could get if actually trained for speed and explosiveness with plyometrics and other exercises that maximize vertical jump. Anything possible guys

Facts. I remember being in high school and all my shorter friends would joke about me not being able to dunk at 6’2 in grade 11. That whole summer all I did was try dunking 50-100 times everyday. By the end of grade 12, I was doing windmills.

[LeviAntics]

This is fax, my coach said you should be doing 250 jumps per day to help your vert, also calf raises work too

[UniqueHandles]

Low rim dunks helped me work my way up to 10ft. Use both tennis balls, girls basketballs then regulation basketballs and you’ll hardly ever miss a dunk

[cutekat]

Facts bro. I’m 5’5 and was able to dunk before my recent leg injury. All I’ve ever done is calf raises and explosive squats.

[SaintGuapo.]

I’m 14 and I’m 5’6 turning 15 this year, I’ve seen people who are 5’4 dunk, idc if I’m short anymore I’m gettin up there

[mistadude]

Facts you just gotta make sure you train your body for the landing because you could really injure yourself

[Ballinbloke]

This does actually work I added 6 inches to my vert and got to a 30 inch max vert. Unfortunately a shit ton of injuries has ruined it but it does work. Every time there would be something high I would run, jump and touch it ( yes it did annoy fucking everyone)

[goosyloose]

Exactly. Train quick, and you will be quick.

[franktjmackey]

Thanks for the tips! I’m only 5’6” and I can touch the top of the backboard now!!

[thebrownboi]

You saying facts bro, if you want to increase your bench you don't do just non-bench execrises to strengthen the muscles involved and then bench at a powerlifting meet, you do all that AND bench leading up to the meet, same thing with jumping in basketball

[CoreyGreen]

This is facts. I never worked on my legs but even before I could dunk I used to walk around just tryna jump and touch things like the bus stop sign or the overhead at the restaurant.

[marcusofclover]

True when I was shorter I used to jump all the time to touch the top of doors and doing that help me being able to touch rim
