How To Dunk: Learn How To Dunk A Basketball 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.

In order to get you dunking in 4 weeks or less we need to focus on three main muscle groups: the hamstrings, quads and calves. Also, if we want to get the best results in the shortest amount of time we will need to combine strength and plyometric exercises together.

The first workout we have is The Strength Workout. We are going to do this 3 times per week. Like I mentioned earlier we are not going to be doing a bunch of reps. We want to do 3 sets of 8 using VERY HEAVY weight. Here are the exercises:

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

Run 3 sets of either 50 or 100 yard sprints

Jump Rope as fast and steady as you can for 1 minute – 3 sets

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 created a squidoo lens dedicated specifically to improving your jumping form. You can view the lens through the Learn How To Dunk link below. If you practice the techniques I have listed on that lens you can increase your vertical jump anywhere from 3 to 6 inches. That is pretty impressive considering you haven’t even implemented any workout routines yet. So head over there and check it out.

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 :)
