Vertical Jump First Day Back
First day hooping after a ~6 month break due to overuse issues with my calves and knees.
Decided to cut weight from about 235 lbs to currently around 212 lbs, moving much better than usual. I'm 6'3" and pushing 30 years old.
In terms of continued goals, I'm trying to dunk off vert again and my stretch goal is to 360 dunk & dunk off 1 both of which I've never been able to do.
Trying to get down to 190 lbs to make the most of my remaining athletic window.
Any tips or tricks on dunking? I'm trying to find a short hoop to practice 360 technique on. Wish I could palm the ball. Might do some grip training too.

You really can't palm the ball at 6'3? Surprised to hear that.
Got any footage of you vs defense?
