How To Dunk: Increase Your Vertical and Learn How To Dunk in 4 Weeks

Do you need just a couple more inches to be able to dunk? Then try the vertical leap workout that I have below. If you are willing to put in some SERIOUS HARD WORK over the next 4 weeks I am confident that you will gain those inches you need and learn how to dunk. If you follow this program you should easily gain 5 to 6 inches on your vertical jump.

When it comes down to it, in order to increase your vertical jump you have to improve your EXPLOSIVE POWER. The best way to accomplish this is to lift with VERY HEAVY weights. When performing each exercise we should not be able to do more than 8 reps per set. If you can lift more than this, then you need to increase 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

I am not going to explain exactly how to do each exercise. If you do not know how to perform a certain exercise just type it in Google and all kinds of info will come up.

The Plyo Workout Do this twice a week on your off days.

Run 50 or 100 yard sprints – 3 sets

Jump Rope – Do 1 minute drills

Knee Highs

Depth Jumps

Focus On Your Jumping Technique First

If you are really close to dunking but just not quite able to throw it down, the first thing you should focus on is the proper jumping form. Most people have never given any attention to their jumping technique and they are losing valuable inches on their vertical leap.

I have created a page to help others learn how to improve their jumping form. Check it out by clicking on the “How To Dunk” link I have below. If you implement the strategies I have for improving your jumping technique, you can IMMEDIATELY improve your vertical by 2 to 4 inches. Not bad considering you haven’t even begun the strength program yet. So don’t forget to visit that page.

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 :)
