Hi guys! I hope you enjoy the video! I started my dunk journey about 2 months ago and decided that I would document it to inspire anyone who wants to dunk a basketball, too! This dunk motivation hopefully gets some people off the couch and gets them chasing their dream. As of now, I am extremely close to getting my first dunk and I won't stop until my head is above the rim! I hope you guys are enjoying my dunking series because I love making them. If you liked this video, be sure to like and subscribe for more! Thanks and have a nice day!

If you can hang on the Rim with 2 hands you can dunk in theory, you Just need to throw good lob.

@grantthomas21 4 года назад

You right lol im boutta give it another go today!

@denzuso 2 года назад

I already did a windmill but I’m just backrimming it all the time, because I want to punch it so hard. Any tips?

@grantthomas21 2 года назад

If you're backrimming it's either because you're slightly not getting high enough or you're jumping too close to the rim id say

@kim-zg3hv 2 года назад

My Friend does that he perfect it

@seti6800 3 года назад

Bro your improvement was amazing you could actually see as the months went by you were getting better and better

@grantthomas21 3 года назад

Thanks man i appreciate that! guess thats what consistent hard work gets ya!

@typatton7501 4 года назад

it’s way easier to dunk off one foot, i can get my wrist to the rim off one and can cleanly dunk it

@grantthomas21 4 года назад

Thats awesome! I've noticed that you dont have to jump as high off one compared to off 2 for dribble dunks lol

@MrKrabs-iz2jc 3 года назад

im the complete opposite. my 1 foot jumps are terrible 😭

@maksimiliangrbic5239 3 года назад

depends on body type, his body is built running fast and exploding with 2 feet, lenghtier guys can extend more and dont need to transfer as much power from both feet i think

@mateoo4 3 года назад

ya! but you can damage your knees faster by doing it way better to do 2 foot jumps

@Brandon-qh4ck 3 года назад

I had my first dunk off one cus that’s the only approach I know. But when I mastered my two footed approach I noticed it’s a lot easier to dunk off two. Everyone has a preference it’s not really a body type thing. I could’ve been a one foot jumper if I wanted to

@Sam-tp2bt 4 года назад

I would just work on technique with the ball, you were jumping more than high enough by the start of month 2 to dunk it

@grantthomas21 4 года назад

yeah I'm gonna have a dunk sesh tomorrow! should be able to work on that!

Hey love the progress, the other day I had a jump session and I got my first dunk on 10 ft with a tennis ball, got my first 9”6 dunk with a basketball (1 and 2 hand dunks) and I got my first one hand dunk with a medium sized soccer ball on 9”8.5, this really motivating me to dunk, thanks man.

@scottik187 3 года назад

Great progress dude. As others have likely said, if you could palm the ball you could easily be throwing down dunks now. I could never get as I high as you can, but I used to be able to throw down 1 handers, 2 handers, alley oops, tip jams, reverses etc, just because I could palm it and time it well.

@grantthomas21 3 года назад

guess I just gotta jump higher! haha that's sweet tho! I can dunk now but only dropstep and normal one handers

@SeanPokecodplayer 3 года назад

That’s crazy good bro love the work ethic! On god I reckon if you did more off dribble attempts you would be jamming so dunks in or even just spend a session getting the lob down but none the less your progress is amazing in 2 months took more 4 to get my first dunk

@grantthomas21 3 года назад

after how many weeks of working did you see your relative massive increase in vert.

or did it increase by a constant amount each week. Cause Ive been working but not seeing that half inch result in one week.

@grantthomas21 2 года назад

Definitely more results when you start then less and less as time goes on but I'd say 2 to 4 months can make a huge difference in vertical
