Ok, I wanted to get an idea about how many people that dunk, do it while jumping off of one foot or two. Also, how your squat numbers relate to this. I am a 1 leg jumper and i read that that meant that i was more reactive than strong.

I can not dunk yet (despite being 6'2") and i wanted to see what the people's thoughts are here so that i can maybe improve the fastest way.

In high school I could dunk 1 handed and 2 handed jumping off of 2 feet, but could not dunk off of 1 foot. I'm 6'1 and did not squat back then, I barely even worked out anything but my upper body. I remember leg pressing maybe a handful of times and do not remember the exact weight but know it was over 600lbs. I used to do a lot of plyometrics back then that gave me good results.

it's a reactive v. strength thing. I could do both but as I got stronger, I lost my reactive strength and could jump higher off two feet whereas at one point I could go higher off one foot. looking back, I failed to keep the balance.

I dunk off two much better than off one. I haven't tried dunking since I have been squatting though.

I found off one leg, sometimes I would fly, but most of the time my knee would buckle forward a little bit.

6'1, one leg jumper. In college I was just shy of dunking. I could dunk a rubber BB but not a leather or synthetic. A few years later when I was lifting hard core and got up to a double body weight squat I could dunk. It was still off one foot, but a much deeper dip. I consider the depth of the dip the measure of weather it's reactive or strength. One leg or two sounds like bullshit to me.

5'11", one leg jumper.
I can dunk off one leg or two legs, but I feel more comfortable off of one.
My two legged jump has increase since I started lifting weights, but my one foot jump is about the same. I don't give a shit about dunking anymore though.

I can't dunk YET, but my lift off is two legged, I can reach more if I jump from both my legs (a volleyball spike) than if I do more of a basketballesque one legged jump.

Different for everyone Dominique Wilkins Powerful two leg jumper, MJ one footer. Nique was powerful and strong, MJ more reactive and finesseful.

In high school I could dunk off 1 foot or both but I could definitely get higher of both feet. But like one said above, I barely lifted back then. I did however, always work on my hops...which back then, I thought calves were the most important thing so I did all kinds of calf raises, strength shoes, ect...

I wish I would have squatted more...

I can dunk off 1-foot but nothing impressive. Off 2-feet I can do pretty well in dunk contests. My 1-foot touch is about 10'8" and my 2-foot touch is about 11'7" at 6'3".

Fastest way to improve is probably going to be off 2-feet, as it is a more strength-dominant move and strength is an easier quality to improve than reactivity. If you hit the gym hard getting your squat strength up while doing some 2-foot jumping exercises, you should be able to improve 3-4" in your first year or so of hard training for vertical leap. That might push you over the edge to be able to get your dunk.

I dunk off my left foot, which is weird, because my right leg is stronger.

I can't dunk YET. My balls are way too heavy for that shit for now. Wait till I spread my little minions and populate, THEN we can talk dunking.

And here is a 64" hurdle off a two step. Was scared to try to box jump this and wipeout so I just did a hurdle. Did it on a challenge (and because the girl's soccer team was also in the weightroom and I was trying to be cool) after squatting. Note the high-top Chucks for extra style points.

Thanks Jtrin. I am currently doing 531 and before was following Waterbury stuff which was great. I have yet to see how 531 works out but i am doing it to get stronger. I am 6'2" @ 200 w/ ~9 % body fat. (abs are still visible, 33 1/2 waist in morning) I put on weight faster than strength so i hope this balances things out a little. I would kill to have those jumps! I am going to put a little plyo like you mentioned; some depth jumps and such after my workout days and see if that can help.

Kelly had a quote that is something like:

You will be happy with your vert when you:

1.) Squat 2x bodyweight
2.) Are sub-10% bodyfat
3.) Can do 20 hurdles over a knee-high string in 10 seconds

I was a little bit below all three of those; 425 squat but was 215-220 at the time, about 12% bodyfat and could do 17-18 of the hurdles in 10 seconds. I was at about 36" from the stand and 40-41" from the run, so I'd imagine anybody who could hit all three of those goals would be at comparable numbers.

What's your squat at right now?
