Here's some dunk-spiration for you on a Wednesday. Via BarDown comes this time-lapse video showing a Canadian man's quest to dunk a basketball. "Hey there, being able to dunk a basketball was a big dream of mine. I am 173 cm (5' 7") tall," the text reads at the start of the video. "In this video you can see my progress over the past 6 months."

He doesn't get into the specifics of his off-court training -- perhaps plyometrics, strength-training or eating a ton of Wheaties -- but you can see his progress as he accomplishes the goal in six months.
