Ill just do mine in high school, because I have no idea what it is now
Height 6-4
Weight 165-170
Vertical about 22-4 inches (pretty pathetic :lol )
Reach-About 8-4
Of course, now I lost about 10 pounds, which makes me about the skinniest guy at 6-4 you'll ever find, and I probably can't jump as high. I was never an athlete, but luckily I was long and tall enough to be able to play basketball really well, especially since I put an awful lot of work into it.
[QUOTE=chazzy]Ht - 6'1
Wt - 215
Bench - 290
Vert - never tested it, but can just barely dunk
40 - 4.75 back in HS football
Long distance running works your slow twitch muscles, vert is all about explosion.. so quick sprints and burst squats (going down and exploding up onto your toes) are the type of workouts you should be doing for your vert.[/QUOTE]
Well yeah. I should probably mention I do HIIT once a week. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. At this point I'd rather run than gain a couple inches on my vert.
[QUOTE=Rake2204]Height: 6'3''
Weight: 165
Standing Vert (No Step): 29.5''
Elevation off Run: 35''
Max Bench: 225
Standing Reach: 95''[/QUOTE]
In case you guys were wondering, I'm 170lbs. now. Powerhouse.
Also, in regards to the recent topic about guys at the same height with higher and lower shoulders and whatnot, I would definitely be the lower shouldered guy. I read about a coach who called long necks "wasted height". So that's kind of what I always considered myself, a player with wasted height.
Last summer my younger brothers and I ran through an impromptu "NBA Combine" where we completed all the drills NBA prospects are measured by then compared our numbers to said prospects. The best fact I took away from our workout: my max vert measured in summer 2010 on a concrete court was 1.5 inches lower than it was when I recorded here in 2009 (though I truly attribute a chunk of that to the outdoor court). Even then, at 33.5 inches, my max vert fit right into the middle of the pack of 2010 NBA prospects (even similar to some 6'3''ers).
However, my max [i]reach[/i] (which one might assume would be somewhat correlated to max vert) was actually lower than every single person tested in the NBA Combine except for Sharron Collins. What do I take away from that? Either I have a grossly short standing reach or NBA prospects by and large and freakishly long dimensions. I like to think it's a mix of both.
At my athletic peak:
ht: 5-8.5
weight:160 lb
vertical leap: 36-38ish
max bench: 225lb
standing reach: 7'4ish
wingspan: Don't know
40 yard dash: Don't know, but I was a sprinter with 100m time of 11.1 and 200m time of 22.71.
I have a hard time believing all these 35+ inch verts. Most athletic person I ever knew was like a 38 inch (who could dunk in the 7th grade and is like 6 feet 7 inches tall) and most people on my Varsity team were in the high 20s low 30s, and the NBA average is only like 30.

Everyone on here claims to be 6-4+, with a ridiculous vert and a 250 press.. it's bullshit lol. The average person has a vert under 20, is under 5'11, and benches slightly below their body weight, yet if you were to compile ISH averages they would be at least one SD above what the true mean is.
I'm 6'4(I have pics in the OTC to prove), 160, with a 20something vert(I ran CC in HS and am skinny as hell), but I was always good at basketball because I'm pretty quick and I have a very good jump shot..

Yeah, it's pretty stupid. I'm not going to lie and say I was athletic in any way, and I don't get why people are lying over something stupid like thison the internet. I believe a some of the height, because it is a basketball forum, so you'd expect the average guy to be an inch or two above America's average which is like 5-10.
Height: 6'2'' without shoes
Weight: 170
Vertical: 27 inch no step, 35 inch max
Standing reach: 8'4''
Wignspan: 6'7''
Max Bench: 225

+35 is hard to believe, yeah. I'm not surprised by high 20's/low 30's though. This is a basketball forum. Most people who play basketball are somewhat athletic.
As for the guy who commented on bench press... it's hardly difficult to be able to bench more than your weight, although many basketball players do struggle with it because it doesn't favor those with long arms.
I am tall, about 6'4 and a half.
About 200 pounds.
Vertical... dunno I can barely dunk one handed so maybe 20-25 inches.
Wingspan about 6'5.
Max bench about 180 pounds.
Played a bit of bball at decent standard til I was about 22, retired with an arthritic condition in my right foot.
That's all 100% honest, not even adding a miniscule amount of exaggeration - or else I would add a few inches to my vert :)
