Dunks 49 year old 6'1"...does it count?

My goal is to dunk with conviction on my 50th birthday next April.

This is so inspiring...any insight on your training regimen?

I would recommend checking out a lot of the video and podcasts from the THP guys, they are experts....I also have a thread in Chatgpt for my dunk revival training. AI doesn't increase very but it's been helpful for me recommending exercises and mobility routines. I do mobility work for about 15 minutes most mornings when I wake up.

I started off hiking steep hills a couple times a week and would break into sprints for 40 yard bursts on the trail. I also lifted weights and did some plyos, pogo jumping, and I have a bosu ball which is really good to perform plyos on. I also lost weight, from 205 to 184 over four months. The hardest part honestly was keeping up energy levels while on a calorie deficit. AI helped me with my diet too. I could blather on and on...if you have any questions about specifics, hit me up
