Thx John! OK so today's supposed to be my rest day but I was tempted to ball with my friend and I did! Lol...

Guess what. I can now hang on the 9'6" rim easily! Compared to 1 phase ago where I had to struggle to grab it, it's a marked improvement. I'm not exactly sure how much I gained from Phase 2, around 1 to 2 inches I guess.

Good news is that- I touched the 10' rim a few times today!! Well just with my middle finger's fingertip. Still, I've never done it before man! Damn happy that I did it!

The above was all stationary 2 legged jump. What's worrying me is my running one legged jump. It doesn't seem to have improved at all from Phase 2... Perhaps my technique really sucks.

As for my vertical, I'm still confused. My calculations with the 9'6" and 10' rims do not tally the gains I have gotten. Maybe that wasn't 9'6 but 9'8?? Or maybe that's not a 10' rim but a 9'9? one? Never mind, as long as I can dunk one day I'll be thankful

K. So I'm gonna rest a few days and test my gains... Hopefully I'll jump higher than today!

ESTIMATION: 8 MORE INCHES TO DUNK ON 10' RIM
