Will this workout help me dunk??

Question

I am going to 8th grade.. I am 5''10''.. If I do 500 sit ups.. 500 toe raises.. 500 push ups a day will I be able to dunk by november??

Answer 1

no work out your legs to dunk not just toe raises  

Answer 2

Well it depends on what your vertical is now, but I will tell you that toe raises have minimal results compared to squats. Most people don't know that most of the power in a jump comes from the thighs. Squats are the lift you want to focus on. Eventually progress into more advanced training. At 14 you can still take advantage of growth spurts. Read this http://offto.net/jumpjump/

If you are capable of doing 500 pushups and 500 situps then you already have some pretty great physical ability. Keep applying that kind of work ethic into your training and you'll accomplish a lot. Good luck

Answer 3

get a weight bar and do squats and toe raises with the weight on your back.  you might want to look into a product called jumpsoles.

Answer 4

I dont know if you'll be able to dunk,but you'll be pretty ripped.Everyone will be so scared,they'll just clear the path to the rim for a easy layup:)

Answer 5

5'10" is a good height. your legs play the most important role in getting up to the rim so dont just focus on calf/toe raises. flexablity and your weight play a big factor also, so STRETCH and keep a good diet! just keep a good cardio (run, bike etc), your sit up and push up routine, and your leg workouts and you should be dunking on fools in no time ;)

also try these workouts with a chair/or ice chest (something stabble enough for you to sit/stand on).

I)

1.sit at the edge of the chair/ice chest with you arm extended straight out.

2.jump straight up while extending your arms towards the sky.focus on exploding upwards as high as you can. (jump as if you're reaching for the stars)

3.land back down in the seating position and repeat steps 1 & 2. a good workout for starters would be 3 sets of 10 reps

II)

1. stand on the edge of the chair/ice chest facing outwards.

2. jump off the chair (just enough to clear the chair) and as soon as you land jump out as far as you can (like long jump w/o the running start). focus on jumping outwards as soon as you land off the chair and don't forget to explode as far out as you can.

3. get back up on the chair and repeat steps 1 & 2. start out with 3 sets of 10 reps

TIP: mark your jumps where you land and try to beat your previous jump every time.

III)

1. stand on the edge of the chair facing inward. (just like routine II buck backwards)

2. jump off the chair (just enough to clear the chair) and as soon as you land jump upward as high as you can (reach for the stars). focus on exploding upwards as soon as you land off the chair and don't forget to explode as high as you can.

3. get back up on the chair and repeat steps 1 & 2. start out with 3 sets of 10 reps

hope this helps and good luck. just remember, your effort predicts your outcome so push yourself.
