Hi all, I'm here to achieve some fitness goals. Especially in regard to improving vert. I wanted to dunk for as long as I can remember. Back when i was in high school I put it down a couple times, but I had to throw myself a perfect alley oop to do it. Years went by and my fitness goals shifted to just basic bodybuilding type protocols....unfortunately I thought i was allergic to squats and most lower body exercises, so it's fair to say I'm pretty upper body dominant.
I turned 32 this past year and I wasn't ready to give up on the goal of dunking. I started squatting more regularly (and deeper than ever), and started to learn the olympic lifts. I added in a few sprints, and experimented with a bit of plyo. Eventually I got to the point where I was able to dunk it pretty consistently. I wasn't able to do anything too impressive, but it still felt pretty awesome to be able to put it down.
A couple months ago I rolled my ankle badly....haven't been able to play or do much training since. Anyway, I'm here to learn, train hard and get results. If I can encourage others or help in any way that's cool too.
Cheers,
Clarence
