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. |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Sep 12 2006, 08:17 PM) you can get it off the net for free....search it. I tried Air Alert before, after a couple of weeks, developed symptoms of tendonitis in my knees so I stopped doing it. (Yes I was being a cheapo and getting it free off the net. but a warning before attempting air alert. it is critical you have basic jumping built, no point goin into the 3rd week and cant finnish half the stuff they throw at you. so its still good to get a gym and get your basic strength working. considering you being at 180++ and cant grab the rim, you've got lots more to go. also note that do air alert with bball shoes, and no jumping on concrete...do it on carpet and on shoes.. if not long term injury. also note that there are reports of AA screwing up your knees due to it stressing it extensively. take note, its a risk...calculate it and look into it. lastly AA requires 3 mths, and well its a very very hard program. so chances are you can say goodbye to most stuff.  )Later I bought Mad Bounce, that one worked, I stuck with it, going through the whole regime twice over the course of a year. Basically about 3 days a week you gotta do the exercises, I played basketball nearly everyday as well too. College life = free time.  QUOTE(goliath @ Sep 12 2006, 10:01 PM) Like everybody said, don't concentrate on your legs only. Workout your overall body. Ain't nice/fun to see you dunk at the same time getting push around during the game Haha I can understand this. After awhile, ppl I play with just bump me away whenever I'm near them, so it's harder now. Gotta sneak in from afar and jump before they know I'm there.  I'm 178cm, but only 62kg, so I'm really thin.  |
