    How to increase my vertical leap?

    I was wondering what exercises you guys think would be most beneficial to increasing my jump. I really love playing basketball and though only 5'9", I'd like to dunk one day. I'm currently on a cut so I won't be able to build a lot of muscle but every little bit counts. My current workout regimen is as follows:

    M- Squats, bench, bent-over barbell row, overhead barbell press, deadlifts, curls, calf raises(got this workout from the workout programs forum stickies)
    Tu- play bball for an hour
    W- meet with personal trainer, usually a mixture of resistance training and cardio, a bit like circuit training
    Th- bball for an hour
    F- same as monday

    Anything I should add to this to help my leap?

    this is actually my specialty! haha

    must squat/deadlift/power clean HEAVY weight @ LOW reps.
    must add a plyo routine. depth jumps/shock jumps are crucial.
    must lose weight.
    must increase both dynamic and static flexibility.

    good luck on your journey to dunking; it's going to be a long one. if you stay determined and disciplined, you will eventually get there.
    there's a 99.9% chance that I can jump higher than you.
