I’m 36 and still adding inches to my vert.
No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just work.
Here are the 5 exercises that made the biggest difference in my 30s 👇

1. Hill sprints – Explosive power + joint-friendly
2. Low rim dunking – Reps with intent = skill + bounce
3. Heavy front squats – Quad strength = stable launch
4. Hang cleans – Force production through the roof
5. Glute hip thrusts – Posterior chain = jump engine

This isn’t just about dunking—this is about staying athletic after most people give up.

Which one is in your current program? Or which one are you adding after this post?
Drop it below 👇 Let’s build smarter.
