Gaining weight has a huge impact on vert, I can go from dunking to getting 3-4 inches below the rim with a 50 pound fat gain

The extra 30lbs you gained was your downfall. Gravity is a bitch.

At a shade under 6ft I could get the ball over the rim but always hit the back and never down. I was lazy and never lifted at all at that time. So dumb.

He could drain a 3 in like 2 seconds off the dribble.

Post by: Army of One on August 11, 2013, 03:53:14 PM: Powerlifting is the quickest way to increase vert, along with plyometrics, there's a white guy on YouTube, 5'10 and power lifts, not huge but strong, maybe 185 at 6 feet, he can just stand under the rim with the ball, and without taking a single step jump straight up and jam with 2 hands.
Title: Re: Dr J dunks at age 63
Post by: Army of One on August 11, 2013, 03:57:12 PM: Can't find the vid but he is basically this guy but white, this guy credits his jump to 6 years of cleans and snatches, the amount of power you need from your body without steps to do what he does is insane

Props.

I wonder what his numbers would be had he not been in the ABA.

Post by: Irongrip400 on August 11, 2013, 05:34:34 PM: I don't know how to "jump". I'm 6'4 and can stand under the rim and jump straight up and hang with both hands. But, I try and run and jump off of one foot, I can't even barely touch the rim.

Post by: arce1988 on August 12, 2013, 02:14:28 PM: So how many inches does one actually have to be off of the gym floor, to dunk, when they are 6'7 and have the same wing span as Dr J? 12"?
