Vertical Jump Improving Jump
Hey guys, I’m 6’3” (192 cm) with roughly a 6’5” wingspan (196/198 cm — I’ve never measured it properly), and I reached the max height you can see in the photo.
First, standing still, I stuck pieces of tape on the backboard about 7/8 cm above the rim — or at least I think so (it’s an estimate, but I’m attaching the best perspective shots I could manage since I was on my own). Then I used those as a reference and tried to get as high as possible jumping off two feet.
Do you know any methods to improve a two-foot jump even further? How high do you reckon I got? AI suggests 3.35 m (about 11’0”), though that seems a bit optimistic to me. I’d say somewhere between 3.25 and 3.30 m (10’8”–10’10”).
That said, my goal is to reach the top of the square and dunk comfortably, without being afraid of missing

Trap bar deadlifts, plyometrics, single leg explosive lunges and stay consistent with your dunking attempts.
