You seem to have all bases covered there

Vertical is all about the power to weight ratio, and power is all about strength and speed

Looks like you have all the right types of movements there

Depending on where you train/whether it's possible or not

Try looking up Bret Contreras and the barbell hip thrust

It's an accessory movement that'll put the icing on the cake for any athlete

I don't have the time or energy to do that, especially since I am not a morning person.

I don't have the time or energy to do that, especially since I am not a morning person.It's brutal, I basically have zero free time for the next couple of months and I have to wake up while it's still dark outside before my first class. It'll be worth it when I can dunk though :cheers:
