I’m 6’8" 245lbs so that helps, but when I played in college the coaches had us doing a lot of explosive movements. Stick to jumping rope, squatting and running, before you know it you will be soarin above the rim.
5’7 maybe a lucky 5’8…could dunk before my car accident when I was 189 and can still dunk now at 167.
Have trouble palmin a regulation ball so I can really only dunk with 2 hands but I can almost get my entire elbow in with a womans ball. Distance from the net doesnt matter either. I can jump from a standstill below it or jump from a run.
6’5, 190, can dunk with both hands.
Best improvements i made in my leap came from air alert, and two articles on this very stie.

Dirty tricks http://t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=459426
when I was in my late teens and early 20’s, I could dunk any kind of a ball that I could hold in one hand, such as a small basketball, somewhat deflated volleyball. I could only do this standing beneath the basket, if I ran up to the basket, I could not even get close. I was 5’7" and weighed anywhere from 195-215 when I could do this.
I tried about 4 years ago to touch the rim and was able to do so and this was at age 37 and weighing 245lbs
