Answer 2

i see another dumb a s s said to you ankle weights. why wear something on your ankles that are going to add pressure to it. it will mess you up.

if you are serious, buy Strength shoes. plenty on EBAY<

but you have to do the exercises and in 3 months you might be dunking. maybe 4.

or try=== 3 times a week, 5 sets, resting 30 secs, for the folling.

sprints of 75 yards, not full speed

power skip
power slides (each way)

run backwards.
jump in place knees to chest, 15 seconds
Power jump, 40 yards.

find a bench or something about 1 1/2 ft high
jump up and down about 10 times, then rest.
jumpr rope for 1 min-- 5 times. 30 sec rest.... do about 6 of these things....

i like the power skips. i jump off one leg and touch the rim. i am 5 ft 9, and used to dunk. later

Answer 3

Buy the leg weight and exercise using them but the best for it is for you to jump with it and reach the board by your left and right hand alternately. Maybe a month or so, you can touch the rim.

Answer 4

all those answers are Bullcrap. If you wanna get good at jumping, practice jumping. Just try every day for an hour to jump and reach the rim. simple as that.

Answer 5

work on leg strength and explosiveness
