How To Dunk: Improve Your Vertical and Start Dunking In 4 Weeks

Published by Brayden Fisher under Basketball

Are you a few inches from dunking but just can’t seem to throw it down? If so, then you are in the right spot because I can help you out. The workout that I have below can dramatically improve your vertical leap. In fact, if you really train HARD with this program I am confident that you can learn how to dunk in 4 weeks or less. You should gain a minimum of 5-6 inches on your vertical.

If you want to improve your vertical jump then you need to increase your EXPLOSIVE POWER. In order to do this we need to train with VERY HEAVY weights and we should be able to do no more than 8 reps at a time.

There are three major muscle groups that we need to focus on to get you dunking in 4 weeks or less. These muscle groups are the hamstrings, quads, and calves. The exercises I have in this workout will target these muscles and improve your vertical leap. However, the strength workout is only one part of the routine. It is important that we do some plyometric training as well to get the best results.

The Strength Workout: – With this routine we are going to do 3 sets of 8 with each exercise. Doing more reps will not give you the results you want because you will be training your vertical endurance rather than your explosion. This routine should be done 3 times per week and not on consecutive days.

Squats

Lunges

Good Mornings

Hamstring Raises

Dead Lifts

You probably recognize most, if not all, of these exercises since they are very common. I am not going to explain how to perform them. If there is an exercise that you are not familiar with then do a search for it on Google and you will easily be able to find more information about it.

The Plyometric Workout: You should do this workout routine twice a week. Do not do this the same days as your strength workout.

Run 3 sets of either 50 or 100 yard sprints

Jump Rope – Do 1 minute drills

Knee Highs

Depth Jumps

Focus On Your Jumping Technique First

An easy way to quickly improve your vertical leap is by focusing on your jumping form. This is an area that most people never give any thought to. However, implementing the proper jumping techniques can improve your vertical anywhere from 2-4 inches!

I have a website solely dedicated to teaching others how to improve their jumping form. Take a look at it by clicking on the “How To Dunk” link I have listed below. You can gain some inches on your vertical INSTANTLY by focusing on proper jumping form.

If you do this workout routine and practice your jumping technique CONSISTENTLY you will definitely improve your vertical and learn how to dunk. I hope you enjoyed the info, now get to work :)

The Quality Design Of The Fenwick Fly Rod

Published by Courtney Hickman under Outdoor Sporting

Many fishermen agree that quality drips from the tips of the Fenwick fly rod. Fenwick began turning out their products back in 1952, and have never looked back. When it comes to design and the utilization of new technology, they lead the way in their area of expertise.

A lot of people who have tried and tested the Fenwick rods, will tell you that the older traditional models seem to fair better than the newer ones. But it is probably more about individual taste and preferences, than in actual performance. All Fenwick rods give a limited warranty of five years on their rods.

In the decades of the sixties, seventies, and in the first few years of the eighties, Fenwick turned out a huge amount of their glass rods. So many that it is quite easy to find them being sold on the secondary market today. And being on the secondary market, make it easy to find them at a bargain too. They still have the same performance abilities, the same quality design and action, and they still deliver the integrity of the Fenwick brand.

Many of these older rods are catching the eyes of collectors more than catching fish. This is due to the high quality of the craftsmanship. The very first blanks were Grizzly made, featuring the old aluminum ferrules. This was when they had the O-rings. From there they were able to design some ferrules that had the tip go over top butt fiberglass. These became patented as the Feralite ferrule, and were copied by nearly all rod makers afterwards.

They then began making rods with E-glass. These rods also featured the Feralite ferrule, but had a more crisp action in them, which made for better control in certain areas of the casting. Later on Fenwick improved on these again by adding some Fenglass line. They still made their blanks from E-glass, but the work was shipped over to China. The Western style grips were still on these rods.

The most common thing you hear about the old Fenwick fly rods that is slightly negative, is that they are a little heavier than other rods. But they still pack quality performance into their designs. In their time they were considered very lightweight, but as designers progressed in materials and technology, other rods were made that were lighter than the Fenwick models.

Fenwick made the move from their fiberglass rods to graphite in the seventies. This enabled them to produce a rod that was lighter still, and also stronger and had even better control action. This was the birth of their Lunkerstick, which became extremely popular among bass fishermen. Fenwick was first in producing an all graphite rod, and was leader in fly rod innovation under the control of Phil Clock.

Many still say today that quality drips from the tips of the Fenwick fly rod. And with good reason. Once they had the graphite material down, they focused on technical improvements. Their claim to fame for this is the Fenwick Flippin Stick used for catching bass. They are still in the business of improving their designs and staying ahead of their market, producing rods for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.

fenwick fishing rod ] Expect to pay $50 or so and grab season 1 while youre at it. It is light colored and makes up into good, inexpensive bamboo fly fishing rods. so I sat in one spot reached all around me until my apron was full.
