The First Dunk With Vert Shock
Within 4 weeks of training using Vert Shock, I was able to dunk. I do admit it wasn’t the greatest, but it was a dunk regardless. I was surprised it happened so fast, and that made me excited to keep training on the program.
I am halfway through training. At this point, I was able to see myself making a lot progress. On top of that, I have the best news. I am finally able to dunk.
I got home from class, had lunch and head to the basketball court. I like to measure my progress right after my training, as I am still active, and my knees are still springy. I like it even more when the court is empty, and I have no one to judge or make fun of me.
On that specific weekend, I decided to test my vertical properly for the first time. I felt loose and began to tap the backboard to the highest position with light jumps without a basketball.
I noticed right away that this was the highest I had jumped since I had started my training. So, I grabbed the ball and took my shot. At first, I did not score, and I was really disappointed, but I did not let it get in my way. I picked up the ball once more and I tried once more…
Again…
Again…
And again…

My Rating
4.6/5 stars
By the fifth try, I shot my first dunk. I couldn’t believe it. I could actually dunk. I was over the moon. I wanted to do nothing but dunk over and over again, but I knew I could not exhaust my powers.
I knew fully well that it was not the best dunk, but still, I was excited to see myself ACTUALLY making progress.
How to Measure Your Vertical Easily
I thought of ways to monitor my vertical jump, and I felt I had a good approach. I have bought self-adhesive measurement tape and stuck it to the board of the hoop. I practice on that hoop all the time at the court, so it made perfect sense. I cut the measuring tape into a length of the goal I was trying to reach, so that when I jump, I could reach the highest tip of the tape.
I could see that I was getting closer to reaching my goal of 37 inches, but I was behind on a few inches. I am not as able to jump as high with the ball in my hand, but that’s okay. I know I still need more practice.
This by far has been my favorite week of vert shock training. Being able to dunk has sparked my motivation to work harder. I am looking forward to dunk more and better within the next few weeks.
Hey, I’m Aleksandar and I am a Basketball freak! That is why I decided to create this blog. Teaching people How to dunk a basketball and How to Jump Higher in this sport or other related sports that require vertical jumping, is my specialty. If that’s your aim, then you have come to the right place.
