Well, good luck. Imagine the amount of strength and CNS speed to lockdown to do that.

lol what are you talking about?  i was just mentioning that many people do DL jumps like that.  You think nobody does that and it's some very difficult plant?  Why is the amount of strength and CNS speed so overwhelming lol.  It is a normal plant used by many in DL jumps where the heel doesn't touch the ground

Really? Show me.

No, any jumper I've seen leads with the heel, just like in a one-leg jump. Basically, ankle dorsiflexion before jumping. If you would plant in plantar flexion, it will take too long and also the Achilles would not be already stretched out.

It would be plantar flexion -> dorsiflexion -> ankle overload (possible ankle collapse) -> plantar flexion

Whereas in a proper plant its' dorsiflexion -> plantar flexion jump

I can never understand how people plant like that. Doesn't make any sense. How don't their feet slip on the ground, how don't their shoes deform, how are they not collapsing instantly at the knee, how can they look at the rim while planting (how do they know where the ground is?!) and so on. And that position... look how weird those legs look like in that position.

Kilganon double between the legs:

oh yes, he also suggest me to consume more BREAD with olive oil and honey which i ate 2 bag in 2 weeks.

best.
vert.
training.
advice.
EVER.

Disagree. He should've ate 3 (THREE) bags in 2 weeks, he messed it up.

You need to take it step by step. If you need a lot of power to dunk it, you will stiffen up. So you need to take it gradually and see where (at what point of "tension" or speed) you start stiffening up. Usually people start muscling the movement and "pushing" like in a standing vertical jump instead of being reactive, because they're not reactive enough when trying to jump maximally (in translation - they start trying to use muscle power instead of a fluid movement to achieve the desired height needed for a dunk).

Back in the day when I was light and weak I could usually dunk just from a long run-up only. 10 steps or so, at very high speeds. Meaning, almost no actual voluntary muscle power at all, just using the speed that I have accumulated during the run-up and just converting it to vertical "speed".

But as I got stronger my run-up did transition into a acceleration-type approach, where yes, I have to decelerate and "make my steps". More muscle, less reactivity.

Imagine me at 205 lbs right now off one leg.

In fact, I dunked a few days ago at 10 feet, surprisingly enough, after I played 5-10 minutes of 1 on 1 with a guy that got me warmed up good enough.

My bet would be different dorsiflexion levels for each ankle.
