    Gaining 4-5 inches in 3 months is really good. It took me 3-6 months to get from 24-30 inches (no weight training), 1 month to get from 30 to 33 (no weight training, but I was 4 years older), and 3 months to get from 33-35 (proper programming)

    • @johnnyperkins_
      @johnnyperkins_  Před 4 měsíci

      That’s awesome. I think I had a good amount of strength of technique prior to trying this program but wasn’t consistent enough for it to show. Proper programming definitley changes the game. It sounds like you had some ridiculous growth! That’s awesome!!

    Sick video! Strength training and ployos are great, but at the end of the day, the most important exercise is to attempt dunks. Try to jump on a basketball court trying to dunk or touch the rim, and the backboard in loads of different variations and I promise this will get you your first dunk in a couple weeks if not days.

    Did u learn a specific foot pathing? Because I tend to slow down right before I’m gonna jump

    • @johnnyperkins_
      @johnnyperkins_  Před 4 měsíci

      Honestly, I learned the footing for it from watching dunking videos when I was younger. There’s a concept called the “penultimate step” which is the last 2-3 steps of your jump, which ultimately should be the fastest. There’s a lot of really great videos about it, I’m actually working on a more in-depth version of this video where I breakdown what I’ve learned, so I will be sure to make mention of it!

    • @johnnyperkins_
      @johnnyperkins_  Před 4 měsíci

      That's awesome! I would say just be patient with it. If you're 13 then you still have a ton of growing to do, so I would just be patient and give it time. I touched the rim for the first time when I was 15. If you're having pain stretching is elite, and building up strength through low-pressure exercises in those muscles over time will help!
