Final Trainer's Notes:
Ben made phenomenal progress over the course of 10 weeks, especially given the fact
he was incredibly active with both his high school and AAU basketball teams. It
is really hard to make gains in your vertical jump when you have a two hour practice,
or multiple games, every day of the week! Despite his rigorous schedule, he showed
great commitment to the Can He Dunk? Project and had perfect attendance.
Highlights:
- Ben gained 10 lbs. of bodyweight over the course of 10 weeks. He went from 215 lbs.
to 225 lbs.!
- Improved his trap bar deadlift from 135 lbs. x 5 reps to 275 x 3 reps
- Dunked consistently Weeks #7 through #10
