A little about myself. I'm 19 years old, 5'11 1/2 160 lbs. Never really lifted until lately. What I really want is to dunk. I have a very small vertical and looking to increase it. I have done m research and this program I have picked seems solid. I know it will have instant results as well all longer term ones because of my lack of training. Of coarse I will start out small and work my way up. Eating a proper diet as well as other lifting programs to get my total body in shape. My vertical is the main goal...so what do you think??



Monday:
Jump squats- 3 sets of 4 reps *45lb bar*
Deep squats- 5 sets of 3 reps *maximum effort*
Romanian deadlifts- 3 sets of 8 reps
Step-ups- 3 sets of 5 reps *heavy*
Calf sled- 3 sets of 5 *heavy*
Standing calf raises- 3 sets of 8 *explosive*

Thursday:
Jump squats- 3 sets of 4 reps *45lb bar*
Deep squats- 5 sets of 5 reps *explosive*
Good mornings- 3 sets of 8 reps
Step-ups- 3 sets of 8 reps *explosive*
Standing calf raises- 2 sets of 15 *explosive*
Maximum effort jumps- 3 sets of 3 jumps

Saturday: *maximum effort on each drill*
Ankle hops- 3 sets of 25 hops
40 yard sprints- 3 sets
Step-up/jumps- 3 sets of 3 reps
Medicine ball squat/throws- 3 sets of 5 reps
Depth jumps- 3 sets of 3 reps

Start program again on following Tuesday to allow 36 hours for full CNS recovery from plyo exercises. so workouts would be tues, fri, sun. then next week... wed, sat, mon, etc

Off-days:
Static/Dynamic stretches- glutes, hamstrings, quads, lower back, hip flexors, calves

hoping to increase 8-11 inches in 12 weeks or close too it. Seems a ton but from my research it isn't too farfetched. iight.
