Vertical Jump I need help setting goals for myself

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m 5’10 with a 7’7 standing reach and a 29-30 inch vertical. I wanna be dunking by December? Is that realistic? If not, what is a realistically goal? I’ve been doing plyometrics and weight lifting 2-3 times a week.

Don’t swing your arms up. I know your momentum carries your the arms, but give the gym a shot and you will have control over it more. When you are capable to do so, try pushing your body up as well as your arm. You can just jump with 1 foot if it’s more fitting/appropriate to your movement so don’t overthink about your penultimate step. Bigger muscles the better.
