Mr. Behind The Back.
Ten months of daily low rim reps for one dunk. A community race won. A nickname that stuck. The Behind the Back is more than my best dunk, it’s how I train everything.
“The ultimate rule is reps. Just do a million reps and do a million more reps.”
Travis Reynolds · Dunk Talk #54I worked the Behind the Back from January 2020 to October 2020, every single session, on a low rim every day. Ten months for one dunk. When it finally went down, it became the dunk half my comments are about.
It also settled a friendly race: Tom Barnes and I were both chasing our first Behind the Back in front of the whole community, and I got there first. From there came the 360 Behind the Back, the Eastbay Elbow, and the Dunk Camp black band.
From Overweight Kid to Pro Dunker
I was a chubby kid from North Carolina who got hooked on jumping at 11 years old, watching a classmate touch something I couldn’t. I got my first dunk at 15, then spent a year and a half stuck on basic one-handers while my knees paid the price.
Joining THP, losing 40 pounds in six months, and learning to actually train changed everything. The trick bag opened, the Behind the Back became my signature, and dunking became my career.
Now I co-host the Dunk Talk Podcast with Dylan Haugen, train through the injuries that come with a decade of jumping, and document every step for the people coming up behind me.
Dunks, the mic, and the grind in between.
Here’s what fills my weeks.
Professional Dunking
Two-foot jumper with a 46 inch running vertical and a bag built on ten years of reps: Behind the Back, 360 Eastbay, Eastbay Elbow, Hide and Seek, and the Dunk Camp black band set.
