How to Dunk a Basketball

Hey everyone,

While the details of the system I used that finally taught me how to dunk a basketball are much more intense than these, I’m going to share three basic tips here that should definitely add an inch or two to your vertical if you do these every day for a while.

1.  Make sure your weight is optimal.  So many people who could otherwise dunk can’t dunk because they have a few extra pounds.  Some stomach fat or extra fat anywhere else can really hold you down.  This alone could accomplish a lot more than strength training on its own.  I know it’s basic, but it’s something that so many people overlook.

2.  Stand under a backboard for two minutes at a time and jump from the ground up, trying to touch the backboard.  Once you land, count to three and do it again.  Keep on doing this constantly for two minutes (or more if you can).  The repetitiveness of it all will do wonders for your leg strength.

3.  Strengthen your abs.  The stronger your abdominal muscles are, the more explosiveness you’ll have coming off the ground.  Strong abs are good for the legs and good for the lower back, and will give you some extra burst in your jump that I’m sure you could use.

Follow these three principles and you’ll see definite results.  I know it’s hard, but it pays off big time!  Nothing beats the feeling of slamming one down, especially during a game.

I hope you enjoyed these tips.  Put them to good use and you’ll see the benefits!
