Can you guess who I am?
I notice everytime these topics come up about 90% of ISH seems to be at the peak of human potential athletic ability wise. Lets see if it happens again.
ht: 6'3''
weight: 190 something. Was 208-210 but felt bulky. Wasnt born to be bulky.
vertical leap: Dont know. 37 was the highest it was measured when I was in school but I did that myself with the tape method. One recorded was 34. Dont know running vertical.
max bench: Bit over 300. But I cant be sure since I only have 260 something on my home bench now. Ive not maxed out in a couple years. Gave the good weights I had away when I last moved. All I have now are my old ones.

Those. As you can see I dont have enough. Lot of small ones. Cant find my 45 plates.
standing reach. Dont know for sure. I think my ceilings in here are 8 and I can put my palm on it flat footed. Say my hand extended is another 5-6 inches so ill say 8'5'' or 6 maybe.
wingspan 6'8'' or so.
40 yard dash: Dont remember. I remember not being happy with it. I could keep up with several people who tested faster but my 40 time were ****ty. Not sure why.

Wait there is no way my standing reach is the same as Bynums. My ceiling must not be 8 feet. I'll get a tape measurer tomorrow if I dont forget.

Nah I just took a wild guess on those. I just wanted to get the height, weight and maximum bench press right. So you're probably right about yours.
135. :roll: :roll: :roll:
height: 5'11" - 6'0"
weight: 160-165
vert (one step): two yrs ago, it was 32 and i couldnt dunk at the time now i can dunk so its probably a little higher

standing reach: idk
wingspan: a lil over 6'

wingspan i don't know
Friend of mine was 300+ at 17 and by 21 was down to about 265 and was all excited he could touch the rim.....barely....with a fingernail....1 out of 10 tries.....on a good day.....
But I was happy for him anyway.
6' 265 and getting a piece of the rim is impressive I guess.
I always get props for my speed in football and basketball, but my 40's time never correlate to that. :cry:

[QUOTE]I always get props for my speed in football and basketball, but my 40's time never correlate to that. [/QUOTE]
Same here. I played safety with a bit of corner and other things and could run with anybody on the field. But id always be middle of the pack on my 40 times.
Coach would lie though. Always trying to make his key players out to be more than we were. My senior year I was listed 6'5'' 225 and in the season guide had it say I benched like 350 with a 4'4 40. At best I was benching 310 and im not even 100% sure im 6'3'' without shoes. Closer to 3 than 2 if im not though. And I was about 210 then.
I doubt anyone on our team was as big or athletic as we were listed.

[QUOTE=hotsizzle]nice ups clutch. did you get on any kind of workout or program or is it just natural?[/QUOTE]
Thanks.
Basically natural. I've been able to hang on the rim since about 6th grade, which at that age is a big deal for someone who was about 5'6". When I got to high school and was on the basketball team I never really worked on my legs that much...basically just calf raises on a machine like this one.
[IMG]http://gezondheid.infoblog.be/uploads/images/benen-versterken-fitness2.gif[/IMG]
I did do a pretty tough workout on it though. I'll explain it if you want the details.
Outside of that, I've never done a program or jumpsoles or anything like that. Plus, I haven't even done the calf raises since high school (6 years ago) and that picture of me jumping is from the last 6 months or so. So mostly natural, I would say. Lucky me :D

6th grade and 5'6":eek: i used to workout on those calf machines although not very religously though. i got no where near 43 but i was considered as someone with hops. was at 32 in hs, then i really wanted to dunk bad so i got this program thats supposed to add 14 inches (its a 28 week program)...i did it for the first 8 weeks...and was able to put it down after that so I stopped :banghead: kind of a mistake cuz i could have been higher but at least i've never lost those inches i gained
btw, being 6th grade at 5'6", you should have grew alot more than 3 inches. dont mean anything by it but just surprising cuz it seems you never hit that point where you just surge into a growth spurt:confusedshrug:
[QUOTE=hotsizzle]btw, being 6th grade at 5'6", you should have grew alot more than 3 inches. dont mean anything by it but just surprising cuz it seems you never hit that point where you just surge into a growth spurt:confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
Trust me, I know :(
I hit 5'6" in 6th or 7th grade, and was probably about 5'8" in 8th grade. I was exclusively a post player in junior high. Worked from the right block/baseline with my back to the basket, tried to emulate the dream shake (it was decent for my age lol) and stuff like that. Never handled the ball, never shot 3's. My jumper actually looked like a mix of Drexler and Bird, except not good.
When I got to high school I played post on my freshman team but was still only 5'9". Then at the end of my freshman year one of the assistant coaches joked with me "When are you gonna grow? You're not gonna be able to play post on varsity, so you better come back taller after the summer...either that or learn how to play shooting guard".
Well, when summer came it wasn't much of a joke anymore because I didn't grow...at all. I decided I better work on my outside game, and that's basically all I did. I ended up on JV for a year and got used to the new role, and then in my junior year I made varsity and actually lead the Houston area in 3pt% for most of the year. My shot went from Drexler and Bird (and not going in the basket) to a mix of Mike Miller and Kobe Bryant. Night and day really.
Anyway, I'm rambling on. The point is yes, I stopped growing really early and abruptly. It sucks, but oh well...I adjusted well. What's funny is that when I was younger my pediatrician told me that I was projected to be 6'3". I remember being all sad about it because that wasn't tall enough to play shooting guard in the NBA :oldlol: Boy was I stupid...I'd kill to be 6'3" now.
Lot of people stop growing early. Im not a bit taller than I was at mid 15. Kinda annoying but not too bad. I could dunk at 14 and dunk on a regular basis at 15 and expected to be about Jordan height at 18. Nope. Still 6'3''. One step vertical or on the run I imagine I was in the very low 40 inch range. If I kept that up and grew to about 6'6'' id have enjoyed my Jordan like glides to the rim over helpless defenders.
But no. Had to settle for poor mans Baron Davis "Sneak one in now and then" facials on opponents. And as a 2 footed jumper didnt have too much gliding. Lacked range. So I could go high over someone but none of that Dr.J majestic gliding ****.
Lot of people I knew who couldnt dunk wished they could dunk like me and all I wished was that I could dunk like Doc, MJ, and Drexler. The great one foot jumpers. Me stuck as a wannabe Jason Richardson with a non fluid windmill and 360 that was more a 200 and something.
Oh well.

damn, that'd break my heart. you probably hit your growth spurt hella early. how tall are your parents?
I was always short all my life and i thought i'd stay short. Luckily I hit a growth spurt in the summer between my junior and senior yr... took me from 5'6" to 5'10". I thought I'd grow more than that but only grew about 2 more inches. i havent given up on growing yet though...wasnt it dennis rodman that grew 9 inches in a yr when he was like 17 or something??? some players also grew a few inches in college
haha 6'3" SG is very possible in the NBA though

yea whats up with that? im a 2 footed jumper also and people tell me to try jumping off one foot and i'll elevate higher but no matter what, it doent feel comfortable at all...is it something someone can get used to or is it just natural instinct???
That's nothing unusual. I was 5'9 at the end of 8th grade and only grew 2 inches after that, at the time I thought I would be around 6'2 especially since I was in the best shape of my life, exercising a lot, eating right and playing basketball pretty much every day, oh well. I did start lifting weights for about 2 years in high school so I'm sure that's partially responsible for me not growing as much as I thought I would. My uncle was 21 when he went to the army and was 5'5 at the time and came back at age 23 and was 5'10. Guess everyone is different in that regard, it's much more consistent with females though.

My mom is about 5'7" and my dad is about 6'1". Both my sisters are decently tall for girls (both about 5'7") so I figured 6'3" was a realistic possibility. Wrong lol.
Well I figure if other people read this thread they might want to know the workout for the calf raise machine (we called it the supercat but I'm not sure if everyone else does. So here's what I did...
There was about 400lbs of weight on the machine. I'd start at 200 and do a set of 50 quick raises. Next was 25 medium speed raises at 300. Then came the hard stuff. 400lbs (all the weight), 25 raises with a hitch in the middle. Basically I went halfway up, paused, and then went the rest of the way. Much harder that way. After that I would stretch them out real good, usually let someone else use the machine for a bit, and then go for my last set...also known as "murder". 400lbs, 25 raises, hitch in the middle, and holding at the top. But not just any kind of holding lol. Whatever # rep I was on, I held for that long. So the first rep was "1...down", second was "1, 2...down", 10th was "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...down", and so on. By the 25th rep I'd held for a total of 325 seconds, or 5 1/2 minutes basically. On top of that I would hold on the last one until I couldn't take it anymore. It took a lot of willpower because at that point my legs were always shaking uncontrollably.
It burned a little bit afterward :D Plus I'd have broken blood vessels all over my shoulders from the padding, which was about as soft as, oh I don't know...granite? Towels did little to help.
Of course if anybody plans on doing that workout, it'd probably be wise to start at lower weights and go up from there. The idea is that you want to do the last 2 sets on the most weight you possibly can.

If I can palm the ball really well, I can dunk off 1 foot. Otherwise it's just not gonna happen. I don't feel anywhere near the same explosion I get from 2 footed jumps.

yeah. Like i said you can google me and find me on an old crappy recruiting site but it will at least show that i was close to what i am now coming out of hs. Ive grown an inch and gained some weight since then but like i said there is at least some evidence that im tellin the truth.

I measured my wingspan myself so that could be a few inches long or short, probably long.

get a membership at a gym. its easier than getting a whole weight set. Anyway, if you want to get your bench up work really hard on your triceps since they have to do with whether or not you can finish(lock out) a rep. Pyramid up in weights and then make yourself pyramid back down. Also try some negative reps since it helps your wrists get used to heavier weight. Just a few ideas. Though to be honest if you are just trying to get "cut" you need different kinds of workouts then the kind that are done to make you stronger.
