im currently workin with the VJB....yo, is 19 years old too late to start workin on ballin skills..and esp. dunking skills? I just recently wanted to dunk real bad, but I'm afraid im too old to start workin at it, haha.

Wouldn't say it's too late. I mean, sure it's too late if you're thinking about getting really serious, like, professional serious, but it's never too late to get pretty damn good.

[H2whoa]

I'm 5'2 and I'm hitting the net/tip of the backboard of an indoor basket. I just do alot of conditioning, build up those quads, and am working to up my flexibility as well. I've thought about doing a vertical jump program but heard it's pretty intensive on the joints? Kinda got bad knees already, Osgoods, but any thoughts as to how bad it is?

[JJ81]

Yes, it is. I'm 16, 5' 11" and after training my vert I can dunk some of the time.

Hopefully, I'm still growing and I'm also planning to work on my vert again soon.

Vertical Jump Bible... you can atleast try.. yeah?

You can find the VJB for free... if not let me know and I will dig and get it for you. Have it somewhere...

Can you send it my way if possible?

Great if you can, if not, its still cool fam.

Thanks, seen it

[Igwe_LDN]

no, it is not too late. you can still improve your basketball skills and increase your vertical jump.

What if you're 22 (23 in a few months)?

Do you feel its too late to make something of basketball and take it as far as possible?

Graduated from university in May this year, and now my education is finished I wanna tak it far. I felt it was important to stay focused and take a few years out to get my degree.

What do you think?

I posted it on the first page. That sites down right now, but by the time you read this it should be back up.

[despes25]

do you reckon its possible for a 6ft 16year old to dunk. im about an inch off touching the ring but do you think if i did vjb i could have a chance at dunking it?

[Kumo]

Sure, just train smart. Stay consistent, eat well, you'll be up there sooner or later.

Although at 6' you should naturally be about at rim, but still go for it.

Cheers Kumo

I'm bout 5'9 and can get most of my hand on the bottom of the backboard. I might try out some of these and see how i go.

I've still got a lot of growing to do so i should reach about 6' but i suppose time will tell

I just had my first dunk last week in warmups. Pretty good for a 16 year old, 5'11 white kid.
