[@ggo..3443]

I'm 183 cm (6'0") can i dunk?

[@Braconater]

@@ggo..3443 I'm getting close to it and I'm 5.11 so basically 6 feet go ahead man you can do it

[@wesgarner7831]

You guys should do a vid about the importance of weight training and the significance of that and jumping higher

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks Wes great suggestion

[@virgiliotattini9308]

Dunk is cool but steal a bball and do a fastbreak is even cooler.Could you do a video with tips on how to steal a bball ? Tks

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks man! Great suggestion

[@jeremiahidom6395]

PLAY D simple as that.

[@kg7708]

Virgilio Tattini just play defense and try to poke the ball out of the guys hand

[@tonyx6479]

You gotta make sure you work on your jumper so you can steal the ball

[@donperriogne7878]

Dunkings way cooler my man

[@mirgenkroi33]

Should I still do these despite being a one foot jumper

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Yes Mirgen!

[@CoolBurnz]

Hey I just started being able to dunk over spring break (last week) and I'm trying to learn how to not hurt myself or what I should be thinking cause the first time I dunked in a pickup game I got hit in the air and it made me land weird and I kinda hurt my back I'm 6'2 with shoes so not very tall any tips?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Hey man! If you're dunking and getting hit in the air it's probably a foul. What most players do in this case is hang on the rim until you can get your legs back under you to land safely.

[@joshbecraft2930]

Love the content! I was hoping for the next video you could show us a good dynamic warm up.

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks Josh!

[@ramavaeez6604]

Thank you bro

[@GameFreak1472]

Hey Adam it would be Nice of you could do a Video about Jumpers Knee and How to Handel it.

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks man! Unfortunately we can't give medical advice but we can certainly offer some tips better proper recovery!

[@luiscueva449]

Thanks !

[@clean_waversupreme2825]

If possible in the jumping videos could u say how often we should do these workouts a week before we see improvements

[@ThincPROBasketball]

It's going to vary for each athlete. We'd suggest completing these during each training session / practice, or at least 3 times per week to start. Increase reps, sets, and days as the movements become easier

[@memer2k]

Good information...

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thank you man!

[@andersoac6928]

Is it good if I feel soreness the next day

[@luiscueva449]

Thanks

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thank you Luis! Glad you're enjoying

How many times a week could some repeat these exercises?

[@lordvader4577]

I use a bucket that is like twice the height of that bag for my low barrier jumps, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

[@zVincoo]

WoW new shirts :o

[@PlayStationkMp]

i have reached a good level of one foot jump but i cant put some extra inches to dunk because i cant put the ball inside the rim .what i have to do?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Check out more of our jumping videos to help you out!

[@georgikashev215]

Hi. I work out at the gym 5 times a week and i have 2 days free. You said that 3 times a week is good for doing these exersises. How can i do them?

[@stephsong2291]

good vedio

[@gigagiga3000]

I saw Vert shock is more pylo based, how about strenght training, does it help with Vertical Jump?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Plyo's are essential, but both will help absolutely

[@pierhenry9463]

nice video, what´s the song called?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks man! Custom Instrumental Music :)

[@xboxone47]

hey for some reason i have tp warm up in order to touch rim pls help wiyh that

[@ThincPROBasketball]

You should be warming up before every practice, workout, game, or scrimmage. This is normal!

[@pelaopelaoams3423]

is vertshock possible to combine with strength training?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Yes

[@renrengutierrez2144]

I'm 5'7 and around 50-60 kgs will this be effective for me?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Yes

[@khaledsamhan1579]

should i be doing them as fast as possible ? max effort ?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Start slow at 60-70% effort until you feel confident to ramp it up!

[@_F_1_C_K_Y7.]

Is it helps or no?

[@muhammadhosam2921]

If I do only these exercises and do the right jumping technique am I going to be able to dunk knowing I'm 14 years old

[@ThincPROBasketball]

If you really work on these exercises and really push yourself to get the right technique you will be dunking. You're still young! You will get there for sure

[@muhammadhosam2921]

ok thanks

[@oguzarslan198]

which days ?

[@ceostryker]

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Yoo Congrats man! Hard work pays off

[@k.rocknplayz8287]

Lets say I practice these jumping exercises 6 times a week. Till when can i dunk? I mean after how many weeks can i dunk. By the way, I'm 14 years old and 6'6

[@ff8ngg]

Im watching all your vertical jump vids. How long can i expect to dunk?

[@thebearslicer7736]

well you gotta do it foolish Amir

[@biswarupdutta936]

I can touch the rim with my fingertips... I want to jump even higher to dunk!

[@plakkalchannel9024]

Same

[@k6ntrell]

How's the progress now

[@raghunandanmahadev1630]

Good video but where is coach alex

[@kurtrichardson9131]

Calf workout and Stretch your Achilles

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Kurt, these are both beneficial movements absolutely! But focusing solely on your calfs or overworking your achilles isn't only a bad idea due to muscle fatigue, but it can also lead to increased chance of injury if overworked or without proper recovery

[@elistein9982]

I'm 5 11 if I just do these excercises will it be enough to dunk? I'm like abt 2 inches away from dunking

[@21MilesAhead]

is there any chance for me to be able to dunk by only doing these exercises without lifting weights? I'm 6.11 foot tall, (white) and not a natural jumper 😐

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Thanks man! It's certainly possible, however our bodies are all different. For some athletes - plateaus, genetics, and body build require some strength training to overcome and to really get the results they want. For others, who are more natural at jumping - footwork, technique, and some light exercises can make a big difference!

[@y.annick161]

6.11 and you cant dunk?! do you have short arms or what is the problem? I mean you should almost be able to dunk only standing on your toes..

[@Leaveittolauni]

6.11 and can't dunk you must have like a 5 inch vertical

[@muhamadbhuiyan4726]

You mean 6’1.1 ye

[@ChrisXIllustratesXGaming]

I can get up there. It's just finishing that is the problem. Like I can grip the rim and everything. But with the ball I get hung/blocked on rim. Can someone help me please?

[@iamteamyou]

You got about 5 more inches to go. But honestly go about two weeks without trying to dunk a ball. But just practice your approach....and grabbing the rim from different angles. And work on grabbing the rim with 2hands...... Then tomahawk 2 hands......and then jumping turning and grabbing the rim backwards with 2hands....... At that point you will find your self dunking the ball and it will feel as if you could have been doing it a while ago. Just didn't have the footwork. That (approach and gather) to explode up is everything.......do those jumps every day for about 2 weeks. You'll see what I'm talking about.

[@georgepetrou501]

@@iamteamyou hey man I'm 5 years late but you seem pretty experienced with dunking, so I figured I could ask you some questions and hopefully you'll enlighten me 1) My ankle mobility is trash. I can only get my foot 4 inches away from the wall in order to bend my ankle enough to reach the wall with my knee, whereas the recommended is 6 inches for dunking. Is that really important, and does it stall my ability to dunk? 2) I feel like I have enough leg strength to dunk, but what I'm missing is flexibility and balance (I think). Is there anything that you would suggest I do? (btw I can reach the rim at 5'8 160 pounds 15 y/o)

[@iamteamyou]

@@georgepetrou501 1st are you still 5’8…… if so give up!!!! I’m Joking 100%😂 Well what I have for this. Is a tube about the size of a bicycle inter-tube in thickness. And about 2 feet long. My bed has drawers under it. So my bed sits on somewhat of a box. So I tied a knot at both ends of the tube. Placing both knots under the bed. Knots About 2 feet away from each other leaving no slack. Sitting on my bed. Placing the tube just above my foot and below the shin bone. Sit at the edge of the bed. Putting your leg at 90° bent at the knee. Just as you try to touch the knee with wall. But with the pressure from the band at that angle helps put pressure on the foot. While trying to push your knee past your toes. It work twice as good as trying to touch the wall with your knee stretch but Same principle.

[@georgepetrou501]

@@iamteamyou hey man thanks for this advice. I tried to understand but it was kind of confusing 😂 You didn't mention a band at the start of the comment, but then you said the band will help put pressure on the leg Maybe you could send me a video of the whole thing to help me understand? Ty

[@KrishnaGupta-iz4pq]

My height 5'6 and my weight is 73 kg can I dunk if do the exercise

[@hypebeast8327]

im 6"0 and 14 years old im close to dunking will this help? alot

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Axel if you apply the exercises and put in some work, absolutely!

[@hypebeast8327]

ok thanks!

[@bdguitar5196]

Can i increase my vertical at least 3 inches by only doing this 4 times a week?

[@ThincPROBasketball]

You can but you can't expect it over 1 week. You've got to put consistent work in to increase your inches! 💪🏀

[@isaiahgarcia2449]

I’m pretty athletic and fit , would 5 sets of 12 reps , 5 times a week be better for me and show better results

[@kawhisadoptedson813]

I mean you want to do lots of reps but not overtrain, maybe like 3x12 3 times a week along with something like weight training those 3 days might work? I’m not an expert but I would do research on how often to train

[@zeky7244]

How often should these exercises be done and when do you think they will show results. Also how much more should this add to your jumping ability

[@ThincPROBasketball]

It's going to vary for each athlete. We'd suggest completing these during each training session / practice, or at least 3 times per week to start. Increase reps, sets, and days as the movements become easier

estos ejercicios los podria hacer una persona de mas de 40 años?
