    The fact that your one and two legged take off attempts are very similar is rather special. Most people are better at one or the other. My one legged vert was about 4+ inches lower than my two legged vert. 😢

    Sick video! Strength training and ployos are great, but at the end of the day, the most important exercise is to attempt dunks. Try to jump on a basketball court trying to dunk or touch the rim, and the backboard in loads of different variations and I promise this will get you your first dunk in a couple weeks if not days.

He’s a freak of nature yes, but the thing that helped him take the next step was just doing the thing.

    Gaining 4-5 inches in 3 months is really good. It took me 3-6 months to get from 24-30 inches (no weight training), 1 month to get from 30 to 33 (no weight training, but I was 4 years older), and 3 months to get from 33-35 (proper programming)

    • @johnnyperkins_
      @johnnyperkins_  Рік тому

      Honestly, I learned the footing for it from watching dunking videos when I was younger. There’s a concept called the “penultimate step” which is the last 2-3 steps of your jump, which ultimately should be the fastest. There’s a lot of really great videos about it, I’m actually working on a more in-depth version of this video where I breakdown what I’ve learned, so I will be sure to make mention of it!

    • @johnnyperkins_
      @johnnyperkins_  Рік тому

      That's awesome! I would say just be patient with it. If you're 13 then you still have a ton of growing to do, so I would just be patient and give it time. I touched the rim for the first time when I was 15. If you're having pain stretching is elite, and building up strength through low-pressure exercises in those muscles over time will help!
