Absolutely love this video man. I have been dunking inconsistently for about a year or two now with a lot of variation in my success day to day so to be able to have a workout strategy to improve this is amazing.
Hi Colin, with so much junk muscle building advice on TH-cam it feels like a climbing through a junkyard whereas your channel feels like a breathe of fresh air with your to-the-point & modest attitude. I am now subscribed and hope you continue to do more videos. Btw, with a name and hair like yours I’m going to bet you have Irish ancestry like me hahaha
@@colinmurrayYT Why don't you leave in the pinned comments a document of the routine that you used, how many sets and repetitions and also days of the week that you should exercise
The dunk at 3.44 is crazy this is why I have mad respect for people training for dunks these days that landing could easily be worse happening especially if/when the defence makes a bit of contact. That's tough!!!! Thanks for the vid. :)
Greetings from Brazil! I started doing this like a month ago, and I was barely touching the backboard when I started, like, the points of my fingers almost touching it for all. I know its not a big time gap, but now I'm touching the backboard with my palm, hope I can touch the rim this year. Thanks a lot!
@@abceckswhyzee7169 alot of training man, I've had hops ever since i was a kid. I did some plyometrics, but what helped me the most is that I'm just hustling in the court, I kept playing and playing and my vertical kept getting higher and higher
good vid, so nice to finally see someone that doesn't religiously preach plyos, people just dont understand how taxing they can be and how effective strength training is as an athlete
It's great that you have videos of you training when you were little. Seems you always had the ambition. What's your next goal? You keep succeeding them one by one!
So many videos are just a random assortment of exercises. I like that you keep it simple! Power = Force * Velocity Improve Force with Strength Work Improve Velocity with Speed Work
I'm 13 5ft10 with around a 26 to 27 inch vertical and barely touching rim using all these workouts to try and be able to dunk in 8th grade 💪 edit: I'm 6ft at 14 now and almost dunking and can kinda get my fingers above the rim
Beautiful video Colin! Never realized how much courage and strength was needed for slam dunks.. just thought you had to be tall :) Only part that made me cringe was the one where you went down after the dunk.. in another video you explained that you broke your arm! Really felt your pain because that hurts so bad!! Btw these videos are so amazing.. and your presentation is great.. even though you are a superb athlete in many sports.. you are always so kind and helpful.. no wonder so many people watch your channel! Keep up your amazing videos Colin.. definitely you are inspiring and so very much appreciated! Jen999💙
@@colinmurrayYT Being tall does help.. takes more than that though.. takes skill.. discipline.. perseverance.. resilience.. and literally a TON of courage.. and you’ve got all of these Colin.. plus you believe in yourself.. and that matters most of all :)
I am 5'9 I touched the rim once without putting much work or thought into it and that made me realize if I work smarter and put in the needed work I can do it and I am not the only one
Bro the way you break down each step is really amazing, it makes it easier to understand. 🔥🔥 I’ll definitely be training them fast twitch muscles 💪 Love the content!
Hey! I have been using the same exact work ethic for about 4 months now and just stumbled in to this video. I wonder tho, while in your strength and power phases, do you still do plyos? I'm currently on a strength phase, and I'm still doing plyos 2 twice a week + a jump day (focusing on technique) aside from my basketball training. I assume that on your speed phase you deload on the weight room, but I'd like to know if you completely drop the weights for that phase or just deload. Thanks!
Substitute the hang cleans for weighted jumps. They don’t even need to be super heavy. Works the same muscle and since there is minimal technique it is ideal for athletes
Loved the video man! I just have one question. Do you do strength, power, and speed every week or do you do one for a set amount of time and then switch? Thanks!
i need to start dunking already, im 5’8-5’9 and ive been grabbing rim for over a year now and i’m so close to dunking off an alley, trying to dunk by the end of the year
I'm 5'5", shut up, I've gotten about 3 inches away from the rim before I'm looking into a lot of things to improve that some more and get all the way up there. I've only gotten up that high twice and haven't been able to since. I'm hoping I can get that height again, or better.
I feel like im a 1 foot jumper but ive only ever tried to dunk with 2. Im 6'3 and i only have a 15 inch vertical. Im excited to increase the shit out of it. I wanna jump higher for volleyball but im gonna set my sights on dunking. Gonna update
I liked your video, thanks for sharing. I stimate that your vertical jump is around 44 inch and did you start from 19inch, how long take you that? Could you share your squads and power cleans weights? thanks, I am 6'1. I used to dunk with both hands with one or two feet. But after 20 years I want to do it again with 47 years, I am stuck in 33-34inch my plan is reach 40 inch. And is harder than before, any advice?
My question is where do you okay basketball? Do you play at your school? I’m asking because I was interested in joining a sports team too but I’m not sure how do I go about that
Bro, this video after 1 year and the question, could you share the PDF of the training please? 🤔 If you don't have it, you could create one for us, your followers. I hope you can respond, thank you very much! ✌️🙂🏀🇦🇷
When you say phase do you like, for a month you woule focues on strengh for example or you would just pick 2- 3 exercises for each phase for one workout?
I just want to know, what happened after you fell on that fast break dunk? looked like you hit your head on the backboard and the floor! That looked terrible. Thank God you're okay
I can personally recommend stretching out your ankles, calves, hamstring, quads (most poorly stretched area of the body in my experience) and your hips. Flat footed squats and working up to them can work wonders Basically, every leg joint, if it doesn't have proper mobility, can lead to compensatory motion in the knees, putting potentially lits of stress on them where and how it doesn't belong. (Awkward angles from low hip mobility leading to knee valgus, for instance.) You should work up to being able get down on one knee, lift your back foot up to your butt, and push forward a bit with your hips. This will give you a stretch of the entire quadricep complex, as well as help open up the hips. People usually only stretch basically the middle of their thigh, which doesn't significantly increase mobility and muscle engagement, and definitely does not help knee pain. Don't underestimate foam rolling either. Roll basically your entire legs regularly till the pain and mobility gets more manageable. Try doing a quick bike ride or run before hand, so the muscles are warm and bloody before stretching. Hope any of this helps, good luck!
Hey I’ve been losing weight and have just recently started to be able to do kneeling jumps but I tend to feel pain in like the front of my hip. Do you have any good hip flexor stretches/exercises?
Me and my lil bro used to jump over measuring stick them long ones in the garage. What inspired me was those dunk contest that was on ESPN that the dunkers had to jump over this like 2008-early 2010's. I once jumped the hight of my chin once without hitting the measuring tap and im bout 6'1 some say im taller. My brother went in the house to get some water and he just missed it i told him about it he wanted to see me do it and i just couldn't get it 😮💨 And this like a 1 car garage not to much space
Thank you so much man, I'm 5"10 and can dunk a volleyball pretty consistently, but I cant wait to get my first real dunk!
Just keep jumping and keep at it you're really close!
Well I’m a man of my word, I got it, it wasn’t that aggressive but I did it

@Lucas Cobb and for someone who is 5ft 10 there reach is unlikely to be 8ft 4
I have a 30 inch vert but being only 5'6 completely changes everything
@paino ye if you were taller you would be dunking easily but just keep training your legs and you'll be dunking in no time
5 10 at 13, you'll be tall af
Stay with it. The routines take 1 to 3 months then you level off. You back off for a month or so and go back at it again.

Jumping rope is also pretty good. If you have weighted ropes it’s also a resistance training. Pretty dope ropes are crossrope.
