I’m doing as much as I can to make my knee healthier but it’s still not at 100% So it could be a long time until I can get back into it

Yeah, is it not?

@@MatthewSanchez02 it looks like a standing cork kind of thing, the back full is straight inversion like the backflip with a 360

@@MatthewSanchez02 it is the correct idea of the back full i think you just need to get your legs more straight over your head to consider it one. Jump a little higher before you turn your shoulder and get more of a backflip set first to keep it straight instead of slanted like a cheat gainer

@@r1sebeats921 yeah I think it’s just the angle that I flip on

@@MatthewSanchez02 keep up the awesome work tho man just tryna help out a bit! I checked out your page you got some awesome progress going!!

Just work hard and you’ll have that vert in no time. I believe in you!

A lot of explosive leg workouts and plyometrics

Thank you!

You’re welcome!

Oh fr

I have, I was working on it for about a month before I got hurt

Thank you

I hope, once I recover I’m gonna work hard for it!

Yup

Thank you I appreciate this and means a lot to me! You’re gonna get it one day too!

I’m like you I practice three hours every single day I think you’re going to dunk that probably the same time I’m a dunk my hoop you got this buddy

Well I can say for you if you can at least touch the rim with two hands try to dunk it with the little ball and then try to dunk it with a normal basketball

@@Basketballisaac1234 I’ve gotten real close to touching with 2 hands but the best I’ve done is a dunk with a tennis ball

nah

That should only take a few months to get. How tall are you?

I believe my highest jump was 38 inches

well before I got injured, I was doing explosive body weight workouts, a little bit of weight workouts, and some plyometrics but I had just started plyometrics like a month before I got hurt

how did that go lol?

thank you bro, means a lot. that penultimate step is the biggest thing slowing me down. I get comments about it a lot

Thanks for the advice bro, I’m gonna be trying this out as soon as I’m able to

Yeah that’s always been one of my biggest problems. Do you know any ways to help with that?

Not exactly sure though. How I fixed mine is improving my ankle mobility. Do you have collapsed arch?

@@whoopassph no I do not have that but working on ankle mobility sounds like a good idea

I’ve gotta try this out whenever I am able to

I recently started working on that like a month before I got injured, but once I’m healed and ready to go I’m going to start working on it again

keep working and you’ll be grabbing it in no time

yessirr

That’s good to know! Once I fully recover from this injury I’m gonna start working harder to increase my vertical

I used a leaper hydraulic machine in high school and had a rim nailed to the side of my garage. As soon as dunking got easy, I would raise it a couple inches. Eventually in high school I could dunk a volleyball. Then, I finally shed weight after being fat and my vertical was 39 inches. At 6’1”, I could touch 11’ 3”. This was in the 80’s before all the knowledge of increasing the hops. I weighed 229 when I jumped the highest and was 27. Hang in there and keep jumping. The more you jump and see small gains, the higher you will jump

I already do those

I actually haven’t squatted in a long time so I don’t know

Yes

This is in Oklahoma

@@MatthewSanchez02 Sorry, I meant where are you in your progress I haven’t seen a post from you in a while

ohh sorry, but I tore my acl so I won’t be able to post for a long time

Keep grinding bro and next thing you know you’ll be touching rim

@@MatthewSanchez02 I think so 💪💪

No I was never able to dunk on regulation, my highest dunk so far is 9’8

@@MatthewSanchez02 shame, but nevertheless impressive

Unfortunately not due to a recent knee injury

just a lot of explosive leg workouts and jumping everyday also some plyometrics

And what height is the rim in this vid?

Make your last 2 steps as wide and fast as you can and go down with your knees being around 90 degrees. Then try jumping of two legs and practice as much as you can. Also watch videos of short dunkers and look at their technique and record yourself to see if it looks alike and how to improve if it doesnt. Good luck!

@@quantumleap7964 I believe the rim is just below 10ft maybe 9’10

@@arthurmahieu6832 thx

I appreciate it, but I stopped growing at a younger age than most, so when I started this dunk journey at 17 I haven’t grown at all and now I’m almost 20

@@MatthewSanchez02 oh,alr,my bad,didn't think about that 🤝,u actually insane than,keep up the work bro🤯❤

@@danildso2933 thank you bro, I really appreciate it a lot 💪🏽💯

I’ve been considering one foot but never officially switched since I jump so much lower off one, but whenever I get the chance I’ll definitely practice on making that switch

@@MatthewSanchez02 you don't have to switch, maybe just try training both two and one

yeah that might be better. Thank you

Last time I checked it was around 7’3-7’5
