Just last week I started doing some of those work outs to work on the calves and thigh muscles, apart from that I was just wondering how much of a role flexibility plays in my vertical leap. I need just another inch or two to be able to dunk nicely.

As of right now standing and bending over I can get a little over half way on my shins, its actually some improvement. I added into a basketball class at my college a month ago, and we play two days a week. So I think that has got me stretching a little bit.

But should I be even more flexible? Like touching my toes or the ground? And if so are there any particular stretches besides bending over and regular stuff?
