im 187cm,82kg and 16 years old this year..hoping to dunk(basketball) next year.just wondering are there any tips to jump higher..i heard jogging helps but i too lazy to try.. ..ill probably start my workout after my SPM..

ur too lazy then no use then..

not too lazy..no time..SPM coming la..

Workout your legs.

skipping rope. or this http://www.insidehoops.com/gym/jump-higher.shtml

have u seen how NBA players training? they are work so hard on their legs

Read my lips. Squats.

jumping higher? lmao....least you got the height.

listen to darklight, squats and deadlifts, increase your upper body strength also

and

do some explosion related stuff.. i cant remember the name, starts with p

squat hops and all. find air alert 3 if you want, but i tell you this. there are reports that it screws up your knees

i heard that the "tiaosheng" 跳绳 is very useful for jump higher!!!
you can try it

i don wanna use all those jumping aids and stuff...just something tht is free..

the power of jump is in the calf n thigh, work that part in gym or go up down the batu caves stairs. another factor but not sure workable.. use air jordan shoes... the one you pump air one. hope works.

Pylometrics worked for me. I'm 178cm and can grab a 10ft3inch rim with both hands. Still painfully short of being able to dunk.
The rims that are shorter than 10ft are more possible for me tho.

What they said is right, you gotta concentrate on building up your calf, thigh and ab muscles. Make sure you work towards explosive power and not brute force. Dedication too haha. Last time I did this when I was still in college and single, so I had free time to work on this for more than half a year.

waaa.can jump so high...i feel so useless.. lol

i doubt you 187 cant dunk men.....btw.can you touch the rim?

omg ure 187cm? can dunk ah?>

i can touch la..but cant dunk..need tht extra 4-5 inches to really hang in the air..

well like darklight said, squats. you need to have muscles capable of propelling your bodyweight up.

http://www.sacredhoops.com/ has alot of tips and drills to get you in shape, read up.

you dont really need jumping aids, you need a gym.

tho Pylometrics will work somewhat it has a factor about it its not really power training, power is best from lifting weights. so if you expect good results get a gym.

squat and power clean man.. it will solve your problem.. squats to build strength and power clean to build explosiveness.. but as this is a very advance lift.. u have to get proper assistance to learn this lift.. good luck.

google up a plyometrics program called 'air alert'. a few years back i used this program and i was able to touch the rim (i'm only 170 cm )
