ROAD TO FIRST DUNK | 15 y.o 5’7

[@adityathomas8852]

To anyone who wants to jump higher as well: - loose as much fat as possible before trying to build muscle. with extra fat, you are heavier and don't get off the ground easily, and don't stay in the air for long. - work on foot placement and landing so you don't injure yourself. - work on your run-up to the jump. start slow and accelerate See you guys when we jump to the moon, kings.

Vert Shock is a total game changer! I went from barely touching the rim to throwing down dunks in just a few weeks. You can get it now while it's still available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joTaeZaOpdx3ZtE To anyone who wants to increase his vertical jump as well: - Focus on exercises that target the muscles used in jumping, such as squats, lunges, calf raises, and deadlifts. Incorporate both bodyweight exercises and weighted exercises to build strength. - Plyometric exercises help improve the power and explosiveness of your muscles. Include exercises like jump squats, box jumps, depth jumps, and bounding in your workout routine. - Work on your jumping technique to optimize your performance. Practice jumping with proper form, including using your arms to generate momentum and landing softly to reduce impact. See you guys when you reached your vertical jump goals!
