How To Dunk: Improve Your Vertical and Start Dunking In 4 Weeks

Are you a few inches from dunking but just can’t seem to throw it down? If so, then you are in the right spot because I can help you out. The workout that I have below can dramatically improve your vertical leap. In fact, if you really train HARD with this program I am confident that you can learn how to dunk in 4 weeks or less. You should gain a minimum of 5-6 inches on your vertical.

To gain those extra inches and improve your vertical jump you need to increase your EXPLOSIVE POWER. A strength program using VERY HEAVY weights is the best option. You should not be able to do more than 8 repetitions at a time. If you can do more than 8 reps then it is time to up the weight.

There are three major muscle groups that we need to focus on to get you dunking in 4 weeks or less. These muscle groups are the hamstrings, quads, and calves. The exercises I have in this workout will target these muscles and improve your vertical leap. However, the strength workout is only one part of the routine. It is important that we do some plyometric training as well to get the best results.

The Strength Workout: – With this routine we are going to do 3 sets of 8 with each exercise. Doing more reps will not give you the results you want because you will be training your vertical endurance rather than your explosion. This routine should be done 3 times per week and not on consecutive days.

Squats

Lunges

Good Mornings

Hamstring Raises

Dead Lifts

These exercises are very common so I am not going to explain how to perform them. However, if there is one that you are not familiar with then do an internet search for it to learn how to do it properly.

The second workout we have is the Plyometric Workout. You should do this workout twice a week on your off days.

Run 3 sets of either 50 or 100 yard sprints

Jump Rope – Do 1 minute drills

Knee Highs

Depth Jumps

Focus On Your Jumping Technique First

Improving your jumping technique just might give you the extra height you need to learn how to dunk. It’s an area that most people neglect and they are not jumping to their full potential.

I have a website solely dedicated to teaching others how to improve their jumping form. Take a look at it by clicking on the “How To Dunk” link I have listed below. You can gain some inches on your vertical INSTANTLY by focusing on proper jumping form.

By performing this workout and practicing the proper jumping form CONSITENTLY over the next 4 weeks, I am certain you will increase your vertical leap and learn how to dunk. I hope you liked this information, now let’s get started :)
