Im 5'9 i think (179 cm) and My bodyfat % is 11-12 (will work on it) and im pretty overall strong. hopefully i will grow a bit too but idk :P
thanks, and i know gain is different from man to man but anyway is it possible?  |
BTW when people say their vert is 28' it really should be their standing vertical jump. In your signature you say it is maybe 20'. To me that indicates low levels of voluntary strength but decent reactive ability. Hence, plyos should not give you much extra benefit. If you do gain, it will be due to increase strength levels as a result on your body maturing. I would say do bodyweight strength program (if you are one of those not willing or apparently able to use weights) and play your sport. Get that leg and core strength up. But 10' in a year? Maybe if you had access to weights or if your testosterone levels increase significantly.
