As of today, I'm exactly 2 months into my quest to dunk at age 38.
I weighed 218.2 lbs on the scale this morning -- down 8 lbs from the 226.2 I weighed on the morning of January 1st, 2015. So, I'm averaging 4 lbs/month, or about a pound a week. At this rate, I would hit my weight loss goal in about 5 months.
My Standing Vertical Jump is still right around 10'3", which is a 26" standing vertical (up +3" from when I started the year). My goal of +6" on my standing vertical will likely be the hardest goal to hit, but I'll keep aiming for it.
My Max Vertical Jump is around 10'8" (I can now get my wrist to the rim), which is +5" from the start of the year when I could only hit 10'3". My 31" running vertical is getting close to my goal of gaining 6 inches, so I might need to adjust this goal higher -- I had originally thought that I'd need to get to 11 ft to make sure I was able to dunk cleanly!
And.... the most important goal: I've already managed to get a couple of dunks down!
(Week 7 was the first time that I hit a dunk)
Now -- I just need to get some dunks on video to prove it (hoping to do this tomorrow).
