Post your vertical leap, height, wheigh, max bench press, standing reach,wingspan etc

[QUOTE=tommyhtc]from what I've read so far on this thread, it seems like ISH is full of world-class athletes,
if what they are saying is true, this will be quite amazing...[/QUOTE]
To be truthful, as rough as the data was, the results still weren't that outstanding. An average height of 6'1'' here isn't too crazy. Nor is an average weight of 185lbs.

Height has a chance of being a little skewed when accounting for whether folks count their barefoot height or shoe height. I'm assuming many provided their shoe height as that is how the NBA makes their listings.

With vertical, there are three forms of measurement which is probably what'd most skew the result here. [b]Vertical[/b], by traditional definition, is a no-step leap, likely resulting in a very unimpressive number. [b]One-step vertical[/b] is pretty self explanatory and will provide a vastly better looking number than a straight vert. [b]Max vertical jump[/b] is as high as a player case rise given a proper running opportunity. It'll pump out the most impressive number by far. Actually, in some circles, the max vert may be the same as the one step. That's why I called mine simply "Elevation Off Run".

Anyway, we can probably all guess which number people like to refer to when sharing their vertical with others: the max, running start, all-out jump. Take that high number and add an inch or two like many people will want to do and bam, it's an impressive looking number. However, when someone lists their running vert and other folks list their standing or one steps (or are at least reading the results as if they're standing or one steps) there's a huge window for miscommunication here.

For instance, on one hand, if a poster here reports a 31'' vertical, with reference, one of us could say, "What?? You're saying your vert is 4'' higher than Al-Farouq Aminu's?" Then it could turn out the 31'' report was a max jump comparing to Aminu's no-step. We'd then find out Aminu's max was 33.5'', easily surpassing the original poster's number given.

would love to know the average bench on here.

outside the joke responses it seems as if everyone has long arms and still manages to press well over their body weight. lol.

Bench pressing over body weight isn't [i]that[/i] crazy, is it? I'm pretty sure I said this a long time ago in this thread, but I can't imagine only being able to bench 170lbs. as a max. I can easily eclipse the 170lbs. bench mark and I'm not particularly built, ripped, or strong (as could be seen by my body weight).

your stats seem pretty spot on, unlike the others.

there were a few. 6 foot tall, 6'6 wingspan and only 175lbs or something and still pushing 250lbs plus.
at a bigger height, longer arms and lower weight, its only going to be harder to get something like that up.

The average 5'10 guy who is 170 pounds and has average fitness/strength would probably max bench press about 120-150 pounds IMO.

Vertical Leap- 26-28
Height- 6'6 1/4
Weight- 250-255
Max Bench- I haven't hit a bench since 21 regularly( I'm 25 now) but I know I can bench 185 no problem ( My max was like 250) ever
Wingspan- 6'11
Age- 25

I know guys lie about their stats, I don't know why. I am a decent athlete by Playground standards. Ive definitely gotten my ass beat by Dee and Shannon Brown when we were 16-17 in Maywood

90% of the people on here are liars

every other post has someone with a 40" vertical gtfo

what's the vertical needed for a 6 foot person to grab rim? cuz im sure most of you guys are supposed to be doing lebron-like dunks with all the supposed verticals on here

There are some liars, but some are true as guys who like to play ball can post on forums.
I know for a fact jamal99 is 7 foot. My 6'6 height I verifed with a pic of me dunking an alley oop in another thread.
Skywalker verifed 6'8.
But I dare say most posters exaggerate their dimensions.

Of the 52 people who provided an actual max, the average bench weight comes out to: 218.55 lbs. I know nothing about weight lifting so I don't know how high that is for regular athletes. My instinct is to say that feels like a very high average in comparison to the average height, weight, and verts of these same posters (which didn't really feel that insane at 6'1'' 185 lbs.). Then again, I suppose the big bench numbers (300+ bench) would really influence this one.

Average Bench Max(52 posters): 218.55 lbs.
Highest Max Bench (1 poster -JohnnyBravo, page 4): 425 lbs.
Minimum Max Bench (2 Posters): 90 lbs.
Most Common Max Bench: 225 lbs. (8 posters)

[QUOTE=abuC]:roll: @ all the 400+ benches on here, right.[/QUOTE]
Aside from the obvious joke posts, only one poster has claimed a 400+ bench (JohnnyBravo5, on page 4, who claimed to be an amateur competition lifter). That said, 6 out of 52 have claimed a max bench exceeding 300 pounds.

[B]Height[/B]: 5'11.75" (barefoot, at night).
[B]Weight[/B]: 190-195 lbs
[B]Vertical leap[/B]: (One-step) 30" (maybe more for a max/depending on the day. I haven't measured my vert since I was recovering from an ankle injury last year and that was the 30"). It's enough that people have commented on me having "ups" and I can get blocks off the backboard.
[B]Max Bench[/B]: Around 330. Have not maxed since junior year of HS, but I can rep 290 for 3+ on my 5th work set.
[B]Standing Reach[/B]: 7'8" I think (barefoot)
[B]Wingspan[/B]: 6'2.5"
[B]Age[/B]: 22

Holy ****... my max was 185 - these #'s are way higher than I expected... then again I'm only 136lbs... what's the average weight here?

[QUOTE=Juges8932]5'11.75" barefoot
190-195 lbs
30" or so vertical leap (Never measured, just a best guess) based on jumping and such because I have tendonitis now, so I can't jump as high.
330 lbs max bench (Also a guess, as I haven't maxed since beginning of senior year of high school because I just wanted to get 315 and once I got that I never maxed again, but I can tell I got a little stronger with age and such even though I don't up my weight since back then)
7'8" standing reach
6'3" wingspan
40 yd dash time I don't remember, it was junior year for soccer.[/QUOTE]
Haha, wow, that's funny. I thought I had remembered posting in this thread before a long time ago. I went and saw I had 4 posts in it, so I went and found 'em. Pretty funny.

like g-train said, the average max bench press is below a persons bodyweight. i realize this is a basketball forum and bound to have some fit people, but really, it was an obvious trend that most had insane benches despite physical limitations such as weight and long arms.

I'd say the mean in terms of bench press given the weights would be somewhere around 150-170 and average being 185lbs if everyone posted truthfully.
im saying this based on my weightlifting experience over the 4 years i've been going.
