    Bro that dunk at the end was legit as fuck too. Both of them in fact. 191lbs?? Whaaat. Imagine how much higher you'll get at 170lbs with less fat on your and more muscle? You won't need to alleyoop the ball to dunk. Awesome story.

    • @fam3356
      @fam3356 7 років тому +4

      well losing weight not always help on your vertical , it just makes you legs less tired after a session , im 5ft10-5ft11 i weighted about 238lbs now im at 191lbs (thats my progress over 3 months) and when i was 230lbs i dunked alley oops regulary ,even dunked 270 oop ( i couldnt dunk without alley oops tho) and now i can touch the rim with 2 hands and i rarely throw down an alley oop, every body reacts differently , i got way more explosive and faster then i ever was tho.

    • @dylancampbell9480
      @dylancampbell9480 7 років тому +2

      +B Fame 4 that's true. It's not always simple physics. If he can keep his strength or even increase it with his explosive jumps then the less weight he is should translate to a higher vertical but you are right, it's not that simple.

    • @jordanlyons92
      @jordanlyons92 7 років тому +1

      +B Fame 4 relative strength is the number 1 thing that helps anybody jump high. I highly doubt u were 270 or 238, 5'10 and dunking on a 10ft rim. It would literally be a world record of some sort.
      I'm personally 5'9-5'10 230, been an athlete my entire life up until high school and I cannot even touch rim. Now when I was at 200 I could touch rim and I didn't even kno how to jump properly. Currently on my way back down to 200.

      well you havent seen the world then ...
      Yes i was 238lbs reachin 240lbs and 5ft10, and i could dunk an alley oop up until i rolled my ankle , it depends on diffrent people , do not act like everybody is the same, when i was that fat i was still athletic build, my body doesnt react to being overweight as other people , most people just gets a huge belly gets saggy tits and look fat as hell, when i was 238lbs i still loked like a guy that was 200lbs, i was silimer before that i was 180lbs and 5ft9 when i was 15 (i could touch the rim with 2hands), i was 185lbs and 5ft10 when 16(first time i hanged on the rim,and first oop), then i gained weight, alot , but my legs already were strong as hell i only went to the gym for 2 years just to do legs, i've reached 38 inch vertical i might have reached 40inch at one point (never could have dunked off dribble , small guy problems, people said i should be able to but whenever i was runing with the ball it felt harder to get up that much) when i gianed weight i still had like 36 in vertical and i managed to put in some alley oops , and its nothing , there was a guy in friends university that was 6ft 260lbs and dude did reverses, some people are wierd that way, dude was explosive as fuck and he was 25, friends asked him "how did you get vertical like that " he said "i trained my vertical since i was 14" , right now im 190lbs and 5ft10 almost 5ft11, and i cant throw it down anymore , i still get up to grab the rim with 2 hands but, all that weigth fucked my knees and my stamina for jumping. Some people ar just way athletic with weight on than without, most people do not know how to get higher vertical , probably you fall on that one dude. There is a small line of improving speed and improving vertical or just simple strenght that doesnt add any of those.

      if you have been playing basketball your entire life and are right handed/footed, fundamentally, you would jumping off your left leg for a right handed layup, so until you developed a left hand, you were probably jumping mostly off your left.

I now suffer from chronic shin splints after overworking myself freshman year of highschool till stress fractures. I wasnt good at anything, i was just motivated. I lost all motivation to this day after that injury man. This video however was really inspiring. Im gonna overcome this injury. Thanks a lot man. I hope your own results and even this video help you as well in your dark days.

I started hitting the gym and playing basketball and I lost up to 28 pounds and I'm not perfect yet but I don't play video games that often anymore and counselling has calmed my depression.

    is this really how short people view dunking, i'm 6'6 and it's really not that exciting unless you dunk with contact or catch an oop in game lol

    • @jraa9415
      @jraa9415 7 років тому +65

      aka Twist well I guess when your almost a foot shorter it's more of an achievement because it takes more upward motion and energy and he probably feels accomplished as for you 6'6 I'm guess you probably barely have to jump to reach rim but I don't know it's more exciting I guess when you know you worked for your bunnies
