What's New?

Can YOU dunk? Weightlifting increased my vertical jump.

Hey guys so my dream was to always dunk a basketball. But The highest I could jump was to just touch the rim. After doing heavy Squats, Deadlifts and Dumbbell/Barbell Lunges I dunked! I believe everyone can dunk if you guys can squat 1.5x times your body weight and mix weight lifting with plyometric exercises.

F-that, I have like a 12" verticle now. SO at 5'9" and 240lbs I can squat way more then 1.5 my bf and no I cant dunk. But why would I want to.

The bigger question is, can YOU bowl a strike? After 18 weeks of tricep kickbacks and preacher curls I was finally able to bowl a strike for the first time in my life. After 10 weeks I was still hitting the gutter so don't give up. Do it the entire 18 weeks. YOU too can bowl a strike.

I can dunk no problem. It's not impressive at all since I'm 6'8" and barely have to move. When I was in highschool we had 9 guys on our team that could dunk and 3 of them were under 5'8". That was at a Schiller with 136 students total.

I know its not impressive but I just wanted to share my accomplishment with everyone because it was always my goal to dunk and I never had great jumping genetics. Thats all bro.
