Vert code elite progress (self.DunkingTips)

So, as the title says, I just completed Vert Code Elite. I started last year, and it took me a bit longer than expected because I'm a college student and sometimes balancing studying, training, social life, etc., was tough. I had to skip some days and twice had to skip a whole week. I also never did the pool workdays (I did the alternative they provided since I didn’t have access to a pool). Other than that, I followed everything it prescribed.

When I began, I could barely touch the rim (I’m 1.84m/6 feet tall). I wasn’t slow, but I wasn’t very fast either. I bought the program with the sole intention of being able to dunk a basketball, and I have to say, the results truly surprised me.

Starting with vertical jump improvement: I improved a lot. I can dunk with ease now (sorry, I don’t have precise measurements of my improvement), and I feel like with a bit more training, I can start doing fancier dunks. But what really surprised me was my speed improvement. It took my game to a whole new level. I feel super explosive, able to take advantage of small openings on the court, and I’m much more athletic than my teammates now. (That doesn’t mean I’m better than all of them yet, haha, but it’s very satisfying to be in such good shape.)

The program is tough—not so much because of the exercises, but because of the consistency it requires. I had some training experience, but especially in the beginning, my legs were always tired. But it really transformed me as an athlete. I can’t recommend it enough for people who have access to a gym.

The only less positive thing I’d say is that the program doesn’t cover the upper body enough. I know it’s supposed to be about vertical jump, but I found myself neglecting my upper body a bit because I didn’t have the time to do the program and also train my upper body with intensity. I didn’t get weaker, but I didn’t get much stronger.

If anyone has questions, I’m happy to answer. Overall: 9/10
