My hands are 7.25". 10'10-6'11 is 47" btw, not 45" lol. I need a 43" inch vert to touch 10'6...lmao

That's what the '~' is for. It's not an exact science and there's a bit of error either way. All you can say is you'll definitely need 40''+.

I am not strength trained so I may have some room for improvement in that department. Can't I use stickum on the ball to dunk? I don't care how i dunk; i just want to dunk no matter the circumstances. If that means my friend is standing on a ladder while holding the ball up a bit above the rim, then so be it. Is it possible to get to a 43 inch vert from a 33.5 inch vert if all things are correctly done? Thanks!

It's definitely possible.Given that you keep asking, I'll be honest and put the odds at somewhere around 100/1 all things considered. But it's been done. Now go and prove me wrong!
ChrisM:
I'm in agreement that its possible, especially since you have no weight training back ground. My only advice, screw how much you lift and focus on form. Everything else will fall in place. Good luck!

I shouldn't care about how much i lift?
ChrisM:
No, not at first. Making sure you're getting full range of motion and proper form on lifts is far more important in the beginning. The weight will come in time but realizing you haven't maximized your potential because your half squatting or pulling deadlifts with your back and having to stsrt over will just waste time.

I tested out my squat today and the numbers were quite poor. Was only able to squat 155 as a 1RM...Deadlifting seems very complex so i didn't try that today. What were your starting vert numbers btw?
EDIT: I have really small quads in comparison to my glutes/hamstrings so that could be why my squat sucks.
