If I lose weight will I be able to dunk?
I'm 5'9 190 pounds and I can jump up and grab the rim on a basketball hoop. If I lose weight will I be able to dunk? I'd say I've probably got about 20 pounds of fat on me that I could lose. How high above the rim do you need to be able to get to dunk? 6 inches? Also any guess what my vertical is? I don't have anything to measure my vertical reach with? I'm guessing its about 1 and a half feet more than my height but that's just a guess. What's typical? I have pretty normal length arms I think.

This is called the ‘Pre-Shock’ phase and is designed to get your body ready for what’s to come.Shock Phase:Then you enter the ‘Shock’ phase which is 6 weeks long. This is the main part of the program and is where your nervous system is ‘shocked’ into leaping higher than all your friends thought possible.Post-Shock Phase:And the final phase of the program is the ‘Post-Shock’ phase. This is a full week where everything your body ‘learned’ in the previous phases becomes cemented in your muscle memory.So after 8 weeks and going through all 3 phases of the Vert Shock Program you will have added up to 9 – 15 inches to your vertical jump.

Is it physically possible to dunk at 5'7?
It's definitely not impossible but it's definitely an improbability. There have been people who are 5'7" and can dunk - such as Spud Webb - but you have to accept that he's an exception rather than the norm. At that height, you're likely to need about a 40 inch vertical leap to pull it off. If you follow the link in my source, you'll see a study which shows the average vertical leap is about 22 inches for males and 14 inches for females. So you'd have to excced the normal person by quite a bit to pull it off. Training can help, but at 5'7" it's probably going to take an exceptional amount of natural athleticism to pull off a dunk. If you're a naturally gifted jumper, training will help you get those last few inches to dunk but if you're more than a foot away from grabbing the rim, even training probably won't help you achieve a dunk.

What are the best muscles to work out in order to be able to dunk? I'm 5’9 and able to grab the rim with my whole dominant hand, what is a good next step?
I don't play basketball, i play rugby union and in that sport you need to be lifted very high. To make it easier for the lifters you jump and the higher you jump the easier it is. So if you want to jump higher I'd recommend box jumps all the way, box jumps force you to use every single muscle in your legs and so they work them like crazy. Another thing to do is deadlifts; this exercise is the mother of all exercises, it works your glutes, legs and back. For power it's best you use low weights and go down into your squat slowly, hold it for 2 seconds, then explode up into your stance position all while keeping your arms straight and as long as possible and your back straight. Good luck and i hope you dunk soon :).
