age:28

wieght:130lbs

height:6'0" without shoes

current ability:
 
Body weight between 124lbs to 130lbs
Standing vertical 25"
Running vertical jump 28" ( not too accurate was measured after two days of squats and plyometric. I'm aiming for 5 inches higher. Will measure again in a few weeks. Want to surprise myself.)

Currently my dunking ability is what many would call " high layup while grabbing rim".

current goals:
 
Would like to maintain body weight unless it's weight gain due to muscle mass.
Continuously Increase leg and arm strength
Increase vertical by 4" by summer 2011 increased strength in my two feet jumps
Squat 1.5x body weight (124lbs  bw) by the end of march 2011-personal record 220lbs
Deadlift around 250 by the end of March 2011
Dunk  consistently by the end of 2011(no girly dunks, strong aggressive dunks)

Two hand dunks

Hey, what is your standing reach?  Cause the way I figure it, if you have a 28" SVJ and can reach up to 7'10" (reasonable), that means you can grab the rim from a standstill.  Then if you're getting 32" on the run, you 6 inches over the rim.  You should be easily dunking with 2 hands!  do you have any vids?  That sounds awesome!

I can touch rim from standing position and kinda dunk off a one step but I don't feel I get any higher when running than off a one step. My reach is 7'10"  I'm not sure if it's that I dnt know the proper jumping technique. I'll post a video soon.

As far as my current weekly workouts, I pretty much "wing it". I workout upper body one day and lower the next. I stretch daily.I make sure I do my squats and deadlifts as much as I can. I do 10 lunges 3sets with two 15lb weights. One leg lunges using a bench as many as I can on each leg. Using 15lb weights on one set then without. Extended quad lifts with 100lb 10rep 3sets. I jump rope. I box jump (rather stair jumps) 4th stair 30" high, I think. I do core exercises. Knee raises from the pull up bar 10 rep 3 sets. Stiff boards and different ab workouts. And a bunch of other leg, arms and core depending on the day. I have bball games on monday in wednsday.I need some help figuring out a good workout routine. Mine is all over the place. I've manage to gain 4" off creating my own plyometrics workout. I currently don't do as much plyo as i use to. I'm just looking for a routine to get me to them extra 4" I work really hard, so no slacker here. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get in my quest for four more inches.  Thanks

History:

 Never had any major injuries ( just a bunch of jammed fingers maybe even broken) No knee problems. I'm in pretty good condition, just a little weak or a lot!

Nutrition: nutritional drink daily, other than that... Just food. Need help with this also.  

My goals:

 In the now...
Female 28yrs old 124 lbs 6'0" tall (no previous jump training)started plyo in nov.2010. Started squats/deadlift 2wks ago.
28" svj
32" rvj
Deadlift 130lb 5x
Squat 120lb 5x

Future goal (next three months to six months or so)
32" svj
36" rvl
Deadlift 200lb
Squat 180lb

Current workout(sometimes a mixture of different stuff) but here how it sometimes goes.

Monday: upper body / basketball game

15lb dumbbell 30reps 1set each arm
30reps 2set resistance band each arm
30reps 2set 10lb weight ball toss ups
10reps 2sets  knee (girl) push ups
5reps 1set full push ups

Tuesday:legs/and core

Squats:  120lb 2sets (as many as possible rest then repeat)
Take 10lb off after each set till 50lb (of as many as possible on each set) increasing reps
Deadlift: 130 5reps 3sets
One leg deadlift: with 15 lb weight 10reps each leg 2sets
Take 10lb off after each set till 50lb (of as many as possible on each set) increasing reps
Lunges: 30reps 1set (with 15lb weight)
1leg Bench lunges: 10reps 2sets (1st set with 15lb weight)
Stair jumps: 10reps 3set 3rd stair / 4th stair (same)
Knee raises: 10reps 3set on pull up bar
Planks 60sec right/left arm 30sec ...
Different Ab excersies

And repeat...  


You will make alot better and faster progress with a more progressive/condensed routine, especially on your main exercises like squats.  If you can dedicate 4 days a week to strength training you can do a upper/lower split, hitting each twice per week.  If you want to strength train 3 times a week a full body split is also a good option for you atm, focusing more on the compound/basic lifts with a progressive and variable set/rep scheme to get you moving your strength and power levels up much faster.

Simply put, depending on your schedule or convenience, you need training frequency to drive up your lack of strength/power faster. You could either do 2 days Upper Body and 2 days Lower Body or 3 days full-body workout.

Ex.: Upper Body A: Bench Press x 10 reps x N sets
                              Chin-ups or Lat Pull-down x 8 x N sets
                              Tricep Pushdowns x 12 reps x N sets

       Upper Body B: Barbell Row x 8 x N sets
                              Push-ups x F x 3 sets
                              Press x 8 reps x N sets

Lowerbody A and B: Keeping It Simple: Squats x 10 x N sets
                                                           Deadlift x 5 x N sets (as you wish but usually less than squats)
                                                            Leg Raise Variation (On pull-up bar) x F x 3

N meaning whatever number of sets you feel like. If you feel good, push it, if not, keep the count down.
F meaning perform until failure.

Ex.:  Full Body Workout

Squats x 10 x 2-3 sets
Push-ups x F x 3 sets
Deadlift x 5 x 1-2 sets
Pull-ups Pyramid 1-2-3-2-1 or adjust depending on what's your max rep.
Plank Progression x 60 sec (1 arm up, 1 leg up, 1 arm/1 leg up)

Can someone give me a detailed workout plan, that's had proven results. Can it be broken down into which days of the week reps and set etc... I would greatly appreciate it.

The problem is...at your stage, a workout has no need for being overly detailed...if you're really looking for something standard here, go check out Adarqui's Introductory Block.

Lance I'm new to this can you or someone give me an example of what your talking about?


Day 1 (lower)

dynamic warm up + short sprints ( 5-10 sprints at 10-20 yds etc.)

Squat - 4 sets of 5-8 reps (use a weight that you can get at least 5 reps with in good form but not more than 8, once you hit 8 reps on every set move the weight up 5-10 lbs)

RDL (romanian deadlift) - 3 sets of 6-8 reps (same as above)

Lunge or BSS- 2 sets of 10-12 reps each leg

Standing calf raise- 2 sets of 15 reps


Day 2 (upper)

dynamic warm up + short sprints

Standing press (military press)- 4 sets of 5-8 reps

Pull up/chin up/ assisted pull up (recline row) - 3 sets of max reps (once you hit 12 reps on all sets add load)

lateral raises- 2 sets of 10-12 reps

dips/close grip bench press- 2 sets 8-10 reps

plank hold for time - 2 sets of 45 seconds (once you are able to hold in good form add resistance with weight or move to a more advanced plank variation, i.e. one arm up/one leg up, etc.)


* day 1 and day 2 could be mon, tues, rest wed, then day 1 again on thurs, day 2 again on friday, off the weekend.  be sure to cool down/stretch at the end of each session as well.  This is just an example of what I was referring to but many athletes have made great progress on similar setups.
