My brother could dunk at 6'6" 330. I could barley touch the net at 6'1"damn man your brother's a big dude, i can just barely touch the rim with the tips of my figers after running at the hoop at 6 feet even.

yeah those guys are amazing strong but i need a formula somehow to equate this if i lose 20 pounds of fatif you lose more weight you are gonna look like shit dude...
if you lose more weight you are gonna look like shit dude...
train to increase your leap and you will jump higher
answr teh questionthere is no answer it is impossible to equate what you want to know.
yeah those guys are amazing strong but i need a formula somehow to equate this if i lose 20 pounds of fatwhy would you want to jump any higher than that? i'm assuming you can dunk easily if you can get your hand that high.
ok guys im no super athletic basketball player in terms of dunking im 6feet6 225 i can only get my hand about 6 inches above the goal
now if i were to get to 205 pure ripped condition how many more inches will i be able to jump , lets say i still manage the same power out put as i did at 225
im guessing with 20 pounds less i will be able to jump 8-10inches higher?

These posts get any queerer and you may be able to float over the basket.damn these posts are getting weirder by the day, DW is a good dude but i'm wondering what he's smoking lately. ;D
Assuming that you lose nothing other than fat, then it is very easy to calculate:
225 lbs 100%
20 lbs 8%
So if the power that lifts 225 lbs will lift 8% more than 6", then obviously the improvement in jumping ability will be of 0.48". Ergo, you will

so is that .08 times .06 ? that will give me inches?
No. Here's the rationale: 20 lbs represents 8% of 225 lbs. So, if you lose 20 lbs and assume that power remains a constant, then this means that you should be able to jump 8% higher than you did at 225 lbs. Now, if the power that moves 225 lbs 6" up, then it should lift 8% of 6" more and 8% of 6" is 0.48" which is the net gain. Comprehend?power won't remain constant and that is the impossible part to factor in

it would increase his verticle by 8% of whatever his vertical is, not by 8% of how high his hand is over the rim.
on a side note it is kind of pathetic that you can't dunk at 6'6" - I can dunk a half-sized basketball at 5'10"
if the goal is ten feetwhat would you put your vertical leap at DW?
and i get my hand 6 inches above it
then thats 126 inches total....so 126 inches ,,
what would you put your vertical leap at DW?
Wrong. Power remains a constant assuming that he loses pure fat. That is why in my first post I mentioned that "assuming that you lose only fat". If your muscle mass remains the same, then power output remains the same. Don't try to outsmart yourself. ;)you can assume someone can lose only pure fat but it ain't gonna be the case especially with a guy as lean as DW.

I doubt that 6 inches above the rim is enough to be able to dunk a regulation basketball.Oh, I've never been close to dunking so I guess I wouldn't know.
These posts get any queerer and you may be able to float over the basket.;D lol
DW, you need to measure the distance from the ground to the tips of your fingers with your hands held straight above your head. Then you will need to subtract this number (in inches) from 126 to get an estimate of your vertical. Once you get that number, multiply it by 1.08 to get your new vertical if you were to lose 20 pounds.
Common mistake that dunking comes from the calves. Just look at most NBA players very small calves. It mostly from the hams and gluts. So train them hard.
I am 6'2 white and 220 at 10% and I can dunk like a black dude. I have been able to dunk since I was a junior in high school and that was 16 years ago :o.
When I was a senior in high school I was in the Hoop-It-Up dunk contest and took 4th out of about 10 guys. Most that did worse than me missed the dunks so that played a factor in why I did better.
Now I am no Vince Carter but I can just about touch my elbow on the rim. I suffered two broken ankles and an ACL in college so my basketball dreams faded fast.
dont listen to suckmysmuscle he's an idiot
