Post what your vert is here.
You can also add your age to see how the vert compares to your age.
im 20 and I think i have something like a 12 inch vert
17 years old
27-30 running vert
26-27 dropstep leap
18 years old (7 feet tall)[COLOR="White"] in case someone forgot... xD[/COLOR]
17"-19" standing
23"-24" running
What has everybody done to increase their vertical leap (programs, types of training, etc.) and how much did you gain from each?

Just a hair over 40" with an approach.
About 36" straight up.
[BULLS]Around 65 on bad days, 80 on average[/BULLS]
[QUOTE=XxNeXuSxX][BULLS]Around 65 on bad days, 80 on average[/BULLS][/QUOTE]
Just curious if this was a response to my post.
34" running
31" standing
Not bad for being 14
Standing 31' and i dont know my running we dont do that in school.
im 16 and 145.
34' (run up, standstill was bout 30') was my peak when playing competively and training everyday of the week. The best dunk I could do was a windmill.
Never able to do between the legs, 360 windmills and I didn't have many variation off of alleys.
Look like my vert numbers are pretty much lowest round here... or Im the only one being honest...

Jamal, when your 7'0", you dont exactly need alot of vertical and in fact I would advise against getting alot of air just to prevent wear and tear on your body. Kenny George is 7'8", doesnt need to jump to dunk and does just fine for hisself.

I saw that videos before and that guy can't move or jump (literally) and Im not like him...

I'd say I'm about the same right now, still down from my prime, but getting back up there. I can dunk a 12lb 10inch diameter medicine ball off 1 step, 2 feet or 1. I dunked the 16lb one easily too off 1 foot, but that one was one of the sand ones that is smaller than a volleyball but obviously weighs far more. I do it to increase motor unit recruitment, before I start dunking a regular basketball
[QUOTE=jamal99]I saw that videos before and that guy can't move or jump (literally) and Im not like him...[/QUOTE]
I wasnt saying you were like him, im just saying that these guys under 6'8" usually do need to jump and so besides having a better body for it they have usually worked that part of their athletic capabilities out with a bit more focus then you did because you just didnt need to really jump as you were developing your skillset from 12-20+.
BTW, whats your reach?
Does anyone of you guys use air alert?
I use it,am in week 13(resting week),and it had some effect on my vert, not much so far,but it had a great effect on my speed and endurance.
I don't know how much exactly my vert is.I'm white,and 14 years old.

My reach isn't very good and is like 8'9 or 8'10...
[QUOTE=jamal99]My reach isn't very good and is like 8'9 or 8'10...[/QUOTE]
Still, 12-18 inches is all you need for the dunk or to sky for a block really.

Nope, I never used Air Alert. Skipping and doing step ups on stairs is all I did. Every second morning I would skip for 20 minutes and then do about 5 minutes of step ups. Worked great and help me jump a lot higher.
Like I said I got up to 34 inches of a run up, and could jump 30 inches without a run up. No fancy programs, just simple exercises at the start of the day.

can u explain those?
36". I'm 5' 11". 16 years old.
[QUOTE=jamal99]can u explain those?[/QUOTE]
Just find some stair or a ledge or something. Then step up onto it with your right foot then left. Then back down onto the ground with your right foot with the left following. It's just like going up stairs and then going back down, though its only on one stair. Do this really quickly for 5 minutes straight, or as long as you can go for really hard.

This is basically it. Though I did it on a small step really quickly.
My hops are back. W e had a game today where I had like 7 dunks in a game to 15. It was against bums, but that had no bearing on just the fact of being able to dunk consistently and easily in itself.
I dunked a volleyball on Thursday after we did the milk run. Not a basketball but it sure felt damn good to finally throw something down.
How tall are you DatZNasty and jc23?

You have a 34 inch vert and you can only dunk a volleyball? How tall are you?
I'm 6'3 and I was able to throw down windmill's with a 34 inch vert.
Well if you are Kenny George you don't really need a vertical. All you have to do is [I]be vertical[/I] as the annoucner on ESPN said.
6'4" and 15 y/o. Standing reach = 8'2"
And I can get about 6 inches above rim.
So 10'6" - 8'2" = 24 in. running vert. Sad.

Try again on the math

:oldlol: :applause: :oldlol:
try just a few inches higher
but still sad
Quick question, do you measure reach on your tiptoes or flat footed on the floor?

If your vert is 40 right now, and you are down from your prime then what was it in your prime?
[QUOTE=Zak]If your vert is 40 right now, and you are down from your prime then what was it in your prime?[/QUOTE]
Lol I was gonna ask that question myself.
My standing is 23 inches and running is 31inches
[QUOTE=Zak]Quick question, do you measure reach on your tiptoes or flat footed on the floor?[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure it's flat footed...
Alright this is a REALLY rough estimate. I remember reaching as high as I could on one of those giant rulers at Home Depot and I could barely touch 7'6-7'7 reaching as high as I could. When I (running)jump I'm about 2-3 inches under the rim. I'm 5'8.5. So apparently my running vertical would be what? :confusedshrug:
9'10 - 7'6 = 28 inches? :confusedshrug:
Is that decent for someone who just plays ball for fun and is an average sixteen year old white kid?
My reach has to be wrong, anyway. I can't only reach two feet above my head? Or can I? :confusedshrug:
mine is 35 but my knee hurts right now so....
Ok then, that makes my standing reach 8'1.
Off of no step/one step gather two footed, I can get like 2 inches above the rim so: 10'2-8'1= 25 inches.
With a runup and one footed, since I am a one footed jumper, I can get like 5-6 inches above the rim:
10'5-8'1= 28 inches, and i am 14 years old.
Here is a pic with a one step gather, that i took during photography class at school, I am 100% certain the rim is 10 foot and later on maybe after next class i can get a picture with me with a runup one footed in an indoor gym.
EDIT: Put it as thumbnail now.
