I Trained to Dunk in Only 60 Days

I am only 5'6 and I have always dreamed of dunking a basketball, so I gave myself 60 days to train as hard as possible in order to get my first dunk. In this video I go over my training and my progress of increasing my vertical.

The girl throwing lobs for hours with enthusiasm like she is Chris Paul. Don't let her have zero rings

[vanilaw]

This level of quality for a youtuber who was under five hundred subscribers is absolutely insane. Absolutely crazy. Keep up the amazing work.

[Here-to-game]

Megan was throwing lobs for 3 hours?!?! She’s a real one

Something we noticed in high school was that people tended to max out at the rim because that became a visual target that seemed to limit us. Use a ladder and put a piece of tape a few inches up from the rim on the backboard and train until you can touch it consistently and then try to dunk.

Inspiring video man. I'm 5'9" and you've made me wanna push myself to see if I can dunk.

i am 5’7, 155 pounds with a 7’2 standing reach. I wrote down the entire workout and I did it consistently everyday . I got to week 4 and I was grabbing rim consistently. Right at the start of week 5 I landed on my ankle wrong and felt a pop and I have now been out for 5 weeks and the doctor is projecting it’s going to take another 3 weeks to heal fully. I will try again soon and keep y’all updated

[GiovaniGrubb]

The fact you're grabbing rim with improper form is impressive already. Fixing your form and developing a penultimate would most definitely help you get your first dunk in.

No 78 subscriber channel has ANY business making such a well made video 😭 good stuff man ❤

[jiml]

I'm 51 and 5'6". I wish I could have seen this when I was in highschool.
Great work my man! Make us short kings proud 😁

[divadbueno]

dude this channel is underrated as heck, i thought i was watching like a 1 million subscriber channel. keep up the work, real excited for the next videos!

[tonybush-wwfz]

People can say what they want to, but when I was finally able to dunk in my junior year of high school, it changed the game for me . There is no shot that you can make that is more satisfying than a DUNK.

[gijns]

You dont realize how well made this video is. Wholistic from start to finish.. been on youtube since 2006 and this is the first video of its kind

[mouthbu]

Haven't seen a comment about this yet, but you being a fellow T1 Diabetic was very inspirational, thank you for this video
(I typed this before I saw the channel name and only after I saw your omnipod and libre)

[Rektz]

As a 6'1 guy I tought dunking was possible but too hard to even attempt working for. This video was inspirational, thank you so much.

[tungstentaco]

This video brought back great memories of my road to dunking. 39" at 5'6" is very impressive! I'm 5'10" and peaked at 36" vertical. Took me over a year of work to get there and dunk at 10" so your progress in only 60 days is amazing.
Technique wise, I would suggest you bend your knees a bit more before the jump to drop your body lower. That will give your leg muscles more pushing time against the floor and give your more power off the ground.

[lapastek]

That’s my favorite video I’ve seen this month, I’m really hoping for a part 2!

[ayushmaantrivedi]

MISSION WAS NOT FAILED DUDE!!! crazy respect for you man.... you really inspire alot of people out here

[sahiliqbal]

Fellow T1D here and that was super inspiring man! I love it! People dont understand that its twice as hard! You're a warrior my friend👍

[rocky]

Earned a new sub bro, I'm 6'1 and this motivated me because I have even less work to do than you had to do so I'm really pumped for this spring/summer training I'm about to do

[CALITRIXfitness]

I'm literally about to embark on the same journey.
Only I'm 42 and 5'10.
This has got me pumped. Great work dude!
