Hi guys I've been playing basketball for 5 years now I'm currently 6'1 180 lbs I'm pretty small so I usually play small foward or shooting guard. I really would like to increase my verticle so I can actually dunk for my senior season. So what any ideas how I can add a lot to my verticle? right now my verticle is about 28-30 in so I can grab rim but I still can't dunk with one arm. I follow a 3 day weight training routine any suggestions would be great!

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I highjumped and pole vaulted in high school.
We used to do jumpsquats, power cleans, deadlifts, squats, leg presses, and hang cleans. I stayed away from the clean & jerk because my shoulders were never strong enough to keep up with my legs in high school.
Jump squats are the easiest out of the rest. Simply grab a pair of dumbells. Stand in one place, lower yourself as if you were going to squat the weight, and then explode and try to jump as high as you can. Do 12-20 reps per set and you'll be dunking in no time.
Power cleas worked great too. If you've never done it before, don't only get your technique from advice on forums and videos. Make sure you do those, deadlifts, and squats with a spotter who has personally performed those movements before and knows them well enough to explain and spot. Power clean can really mess up your back if you don't do it properly, not to mention if you overload the weight without a spotter and get it to your chest you could end up falling backwards and that will be embarassing and dangerous if you don't have a spotter present.

Mix creatine with apple cider, and 2/3 a cup of bud light. Do this everyday for 1 month, you will gain approx. 5 inches on your jump.

Smoothie, are you suggesting that taking creatine without exercise will make a person's jump 5 inches higher? If that was the case, why isn't every basketabll player everywhere downing creatine like it's steroids? And seriously... you recommend beer in that mix?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
