Default Need some help

I'm 15 years old, and I'm 6'2" - 180 lbs. I really don't have too much of a vertical, I can only barely grab the rim. I really want to be able to dunk by the start of my sophomore year. I plan on running about a mile and a half every day/other day over the summer and doing some plyometrics. Sprints, Speed Ups, Box Jumps, Jump Roping, High Knees... etc. Then immediatly doing Squats, Step-Ups, and Thigh Burners.

I'll do it 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'll probably work upper-body.

Any other suggestions?

The running isn't going to help your vert, if anything it will hurt. If its for fat loss ( idk if thats muscle mass or bodyfat, but you're not fat), you are better off doing 3-4 sets of 40 yard dashes or something.
I suggest doing a real plyos program like VJB.

What exactly is "VJB"?

NVM: Vertical Jump Bible. How much does it cost?
