Athlete Profile: Myree "Reemix" Bowden
Vince Carter..Josh Smith..Nate Robinson..Gerald Green..Dwight Howard..Jason Richardson..Blake Griffin..I'd ask you what all these names have in common but you've probably already figured it out. Each person here has shown they have the athletic ability, creativity and in some cases put their name on the line to win the NBA DUNK CONTEST. Although recent contests have left some to believe that maybe the NBA doesn't hold the best dunkers in the world anymore. Today I got to interview one of the people making that claim look realistic. Enter Myree Bowden aka The Reemix.

Portable Power Jumper: Short Cut to Hops?
LifelineUSA Portable Power Jumper
Now let's start this off with a disclaimer; I am not a beginner. I have played sports on literally every level minus NBA/NFL. I have been dunking since I was 14 and as of the last pro combine I went to, I had a legit 39 inch vertical. So this will not be some review about how power jumpers turned my vertical from 12 to 20 inches. But there in lies the beauty of the product, it works on everyone from soccer mom wanting to just do squats all the way up to advanced athletes. A kind of jumped ahead but had to point it out. You see most vertical leap programs and equipment work wonders for someone who has never touched a weight before but your gains fall into a plateau after your body adjusts to the new stress your putting it other. That's why 90% of testimonials follow the "omg I'm 16 and never dunked before now" template. It's rarely "hey this took my vertical from 35-45." A) Because improving an already astounding vertical is hard as anything. B) Beginners are almost guaranteed results by the simplest of workouts. Think of it fitness wise. Who will drop weight quicker, a obese person who has never worked out or someone who is already in elite shape and wants that last body fat percent drop?
