I am 18 years old, about 6'2" with a standing reach of 7'11". I am hoping to get a dunk off the lob on 10' by August 20 which is my birthday. Also hoping to dunk with 2 hands on 9'10 off the lob. High hopes but maybe it will happen.

I like the outdoor court!!:)
Last night I went to the outdoor court (the same one I dunked 9'10 for the first time and grabbed rim with 2 hands on 6-25-12) After playing a game of 2 on 2 I went to the 9'10 rim and grabbed with 2 hands EASILY!! So easy that I even grabbed it with 2 hands on my one step vertical!! I was not very confident at all with my one leg jumping but I thought what the heck. I grabbed the basketball and dunked 9'10 off one leg about like I did a month ago but I was happy because I had not been able to dunk it in the past weeks. One of my friends walked over and I told him I was going to try and put some force behind it and I may not make the dunk. Needless to say I dunked it harder than I ever have!! There was no bouncing around in the rim, it went straight down and hit me in the chest before I ever hit the ground!!! Oh and by the way...I grabbed the 10' 1/2" rim with 2 hands also for the first time. Based on last night my running 2 foot vertical has increased about 2" and my 1 foot about 1". Last night was the first time I have actually felt like I was jumping higher since starting the jump manual. It was a great confidence booster and it came at just the right time. Ready to add on some more inches theses next few weeks before school starts!!

DeleteYes, definitely get video next time. I'm SO the opposite. I hate jumping on the outdoor court. I've always loved the indoor can get so much higher. Grats man, this is awesome.
