Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
always good to see right leg running jumpers, theres not enough of us in the jumping world  , i remember that i cud grab rim after my first program, after my second i dunked for the first time of of different legs n shit, havent really been able to dunk 10'0 since then and that was like 6 months ago, ive got like a massive mental barrier, coz i can get high enough but i can never flush it coz im not looking at the rim or shit like that.
Neway just hit up a program and you should be dunking after it provided u gained alot of strength or plyometric effiency.

i think its not a matter of him not getting high enough, just he has no confidence..
note: he said he has a massive mental barrier..

Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
ive got confidence, but its just that i suprise myself so often, once i got both my wrists above a 10ft rim on a dunk attempt but i wasnt even looking at the rim coz i was so suprised, i dont know exactly what it is but im sure it will cure itself sometime soon in the future. Once i break it i shud be windmilling and shit  , on a wood surface 9'10-9'11 rim i can dunk it on most occasions, sometimes on 9'11 or 10'0 i try to put the ball either to the front or abck of the rim instead of flushing it in the rim, and whenever i jump on concrete i usually lay it coz my verts alot lower, althought the only time i have properly dunked 10'0 was on concrete.
I tend to jump alot lower when i have a ball like maybe 3-4 inches, i usually try to 2 hand all my dunks since im right legged and that makes it hard to dunk with my left hand coz my hands are average and my left hand has no grip. Thats why i was so surprised when i got both wrists just over a 10 ft rim with ball in my hands, i get these kind of stuff every now and then, where i have 1 day where i have massive hops. Its usually when im showin off my hops to ppl lol

Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
well u should start by trying to catch some alleys. its easier to dunk like that and that could make it easier coz u would be jumping huigher coz u dont have the ball. i also jump higher without a ball, i think its coz u get a bit of vert from swinging your arms more. like today i did a big backboard slap and this guy is lyk shit u got hops. then i jumped and hung on the support system of the ring n hes lyk shit, ur lyk 5cms off, so i just ran and touched the ring. but if i try to ring slap i dont get near the ring...

Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
 , sounds like your getting better a.j, i always go for wrist slaps when i jump without the ball, get em pretty much every time of my right leg and im not far off with 2 legs. Btw alleys are a no cando, i have very bad timing, which is why i dont get much blocks either, realistically if i had timing i shud be averaging like 5 blocks a game lol. im sure practise would cure that problem tho, but give me 6 weeks, and i shud be dunking easy with over 40 inch hops  , and this time ill actually bother to warmup and wear some skins, i can jump high 30s cold lol. which makes me wonder what my verts gonna be after the program

Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
u gonna FLY  well u should do that kneeling hip flexor stretch, then u might be able to dunk a couple of times. i just measured my standing reach, i thought it was 7'6 but its actually around 7'4, which gives me a vert of about 32'  im gonna catch up to you...

Re: If you can DUNK! PLZzZzZzZ help meh! <=(
yeh, your reach can fluctuate throughout the day. sometimes mines 7'7 other times 7'6 etc. most of the time when i jump its afternoon so my reach has fluctuated by then, to about 7'6, any type of hip flexor stretch will help not just kneeling  . Btw i wont jsut dunk a couple of times, im confident that i wont miss and im gonna fkn flush every dunk lol, if im lucky ill drop down some double pumps/tommahawks and maybe try a reverse 2 hand windmill, prolly wont get that 1 tho
