Also I see you guys talk about the VJB and I wanted to know what this was and if I could get it from someone. I am 26 and weigh 315 i am losing weight and trying to get back to how i was. I have never been able to dunk but it is a goal i want to achieve in my life. Thank you all for your help in advance.

More or less, we have the same problem. Im more or less your age and I guess still overweight. Im 5'7 and I still weigh 170, a drop of around 40 pounds from 8 months to a year ago. In any case, although I have the programs, I have not started on any since most members have advised me to lose more weight or to have 10% or less body fat before I do the programs.

If you do the programs at your current out of shape weight, you will compound your problems and further increase your chances of injury.

I suggest losing weight first. Losing the weight itself will increase your vert.
