Dunk Progress-Nothing to Windmill-Age 13-15 at 6ft tall

Crazy to think what is possible with Hardwork, this all started due to @IsaiahRivera1 and @DunkademicsOfficial from when I watched their videos dreaming of dunking for the first time just a few years ago, and now I’m on my way to hitting an eastbay, it truly is unreal.Also thank you to @TomDunks for the video idea a true inspiration aswell. #basketball #dunk #hoopers #nba #transformation #dunkjourney

Dude Im stoked for all you young teens to get into serious training so soon! There wasn't any educational material online back when I was your age and started playing basketball. How to improve at anything was always kind of a mystery without proper guidance.

Thank you

[@AdamTSLA]

Reminds me of my own journey when I was a kid back in the late 90s. I started from nothing and eventually started dunking easily. I am 6’3 but have a pretty short standing reach of about 7’10. Had to get my vertical into the mid 30s to dunk easily! Keep up the work and keep grinding - you’re doing really well. 👍🏼

I’ve noticed that his dunking process started when he gain muscle. Very impressive for a teen, I didn’t get my first dunk until I turned 18. All respect, workouts do payoff.

[@AlexDunks1]

I had a period where I went gym and worked for about a month straight which really elevated my progress. I appreciate it

[@user-ru2nw7we4c]

Nice

[@user-hw2uf7do4n]

Congrats bro! Dope video and dope progression. With how many centimeters or inches of vertical jump did you manage to dunke? What is your vertical jump now?

[@AlexDunks1]

I couldn’t tell you but it was when my whole wrist was above the rim now I can get my whole forearm above the rim

[@JJBfr]

Niceeeee

[@Kai-jj8gf]

I was curious what your vert was when you started vs now. Im 6ft but I have a terrible vert and need to work on it. Those dunks are crazy.

My vert was around 30 inches i believ e

[@humanonmars27]

Hey bro nice work man! what work outs did you do? what helped the best? what failed? could you let me know. im 5'8 just turned 13 2 months ago. What should I start doing? I can dunk 8ft easy, 8'5 easy, 8'10 most of the time. Just let me know if you get time man :D

[@AlexDunks1]

I do strength but I mainly recommend low rim dunking and practing actually jumping bro

[@4747da]

BTW, another example of why weight training has a very small effect on actual performance: he dunked comfortably before incorporating weight lifting. And he was still growing, meaning that natural body growth on its own was still contributing to his performance, let alone Training on dunking. You also see it with Pro dunkers who can jump out of the gym with little to no weight training. Somewhere along the line they feel the need to incorporate it, but at that point it adds very little to their actual performance

[@AlexDunks1]

Yes 100% agree on that one weightlifting is not always needed

[@Jack-ft9oz]

IM 13 and 5'2 and i can touch net. 6'4 standing reach. is that good?

[@bananalegend194]

im 13 and 6'1(6'2 with shoes), though my standing reach is only like 7'8(7'9 with shoes) and my vertical is like 28 inches, barely touching rim but im getting close to dunking on 9'7, like literally an inch away and i really want to dunk soon, and this video has been inspiring, to see that someday i'd maybe be able to dunk like this is crazy, im pretty sure i need about 34 inches to dunk, is that much progress possible in like a few months, since i want to be able to dunk before school ends is that possible?

[@AlexDunks1]

There’s no set time period bro but with some patience and commitment it’s possible just keep grinding

[@MtbKING27]

I have a very high vertical like 48” but I still can’t dunk and can just almost touch rim when I’m warmed up. I just keep working and working and soon I know I will touch rim

[@kostjan1986]

I look at you and see myself 20 years ago and my knees are screaming every time I see you land on the floor. I was the only guy in our town who was able to dunk at 5"11 I wish somebody had told me to watch out for my knees. Your landings are very harsh, twisted and out of balance. If you go on like this, your meniscus, cruciate ligament or cartilage will take damage. I think there is already some damage, because you're wearing a knee strap. Just take care. Health is something you can't buy.

[@AlexDunks1]

Yes I totally agree I have problems with my back aswell as my knees but I’m slowly fixing and strengthening them. My landing is something I do need to work on for sure
