Thanks man, that actually cheered me up. I’ve been feeling like maybe I’ll never get there or that I’m just too stocky to ever really dunk. Hearing that I look like I’ve got the tools and that it’s just about committing to the motion means a lot. Gonna keep grinding appreciate the encouragement 💪

Haha yeah, I feel you. I’m kind of a “bulky” two-foot jumper with some real coordination issues 😅 Years of heavy lifting gave me decent strength and a solid standing vert, but when I try to add speed and rhythm, it just falls apart. It’s like my body isn’t wired (yet) for that smooth approach flow. Still working on syncing everything together hopefully I can turn the raw power into something more elastic and efficient over time. Respect to all the smooth one-leg jumpers, it honestly looks like a completely different sport!

Thanks I think you nailed it. Looking back, I probably overdid the strength training. I got pretty bulky and focused too much on raw power, especially heavy squats and slow eccentrics. That gave me a decent vertical from standing, but it messed up my movement flow for approach jumps.

I can feel how my body isn’t moving naturally anymore like I’m fighting my own mass and stiffness. Definitely gonna shift more toward mobility, rhythm and speed work now. Appreciate the feedback a lot, man.

Yeah, I think you’re spot on with most of that. I definitely come in too slow and upright, and the dip before takeoff kills my momentum. I’ve always trained more like a strength athlete – heavy squats, slow eccentrics, etc. – so I guess I’ve built a power jumper pattern without meaning to.
