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

ht: 5'10
weight:160
vertical leap: 35 in. Volleyball really helped me. I got honorable mention all state in volleyball b/c i was 3rd in the state in blocks (terrible at everything else though)
max bench: 180 lb. I did this senior year. My weight training coach called me and my friend the laziest kids he has ever had in his class
wingspan 5'9. The reason i cant dunk
40 yard dash: Never got timed, to be honest i wasn't really fast probably 4.7 i played post in high school anyways so it didn't matter

[QUOTE=dwluv3333]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[/QUOTE]
There have been three claims of 40+ maximum vertical leaps. And while I even find that number to be a little bit of a stretch, it's hardly a measurement being thrown out by every other poster.

I am unsure about a 6'' person, but I am a normal-armed 6'3''. My standing reach is 7'11''. That means I'd need right around a 25'' vertical to touch rim. Since I can reach 10'' above the rim (which would equal the rim hitting barely about 2'' up my wrist) I labeled my "Elevation Off Run" as 35''.

For someone of medium height, like myself, I don't find a 35'' running max to be too outlandish. Getting just a little bit of my wrist above the rim allows for comfortable dunks, but not insane acrobatics. This rim was missing a few inches, but it's the gist of what things are generally going to look like (just imagine me not being [i]quite[/i] that far above the rim normally): [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wXwG1ciSpI#t=0m6s[/url]

you can't dunk with a 35" vertical?
that vertical is probably wrong

no i dont know i have so many joint problems and tendon issues i cant go heavy on anything or even runa game of bball without a lot of pain... so i will use my pre injury numbers.

height: 5'11 without shoes
weight: 190 (i was a bit chunky too)
vert: 31 standstill and 34 running (i did vert training... it helped but led to my injuries eventually)
wingspan: 5'9 1/2
standing reach: 7'7
bench: 275 6 times... so like 315 i probably could have gotten up realistically i never attempted it tho cus i tore my pec soon after i did 275 for six reps
40: 4.85

i worked on fitness a lot... i never took anything but protein so my numbers arent out of this world. i could have been 175 and still benched a lot due to short arms and substantial pec and tricep size probably due to short arms... my dad is build the same way has always been strong in bench. im not a gifted athlete i had to work for everything i got and ive lost most of it altho im still a decent size the muscle has hung around to where im not just some flaby skinny guy... but i do still work out some just not much weigt or intensity.

one thing to think about is that people who post in this thread are likely to actually be into this sort of stuff so finding higer than average numbers isnt surprising... cus yea i mean most people at the gym i would see who average would be doing 135 for reps and struggling do some curls and bs with their friends... but then again those guys arent interested in fitness anyway iys just either a social thing or they would like to look good with their shirt off but dont want to put any work in it. you probbly would not find a lot of those guys coming into a thread like this and those that do would probably say they bench 600 and try to be funny since they dont care about this stuff anyway.

just my 2 cents. this is also a basketball forum so im sure a lot of people actually play and are average athletes.

I don't know why I tend to err on the side of truth with some of the posters here, but I mean, in theory he could be correct. If I'm 6'3'' with a 7'11'' reach and he's five inches shorter with a wingspan less than his height, I don't think it'd be unrealistic to believe his reach could be in the 7'5'' - 7'6'' range, which would mean he'd need around a 31'' vertical just to touch rim (if his standing reach is in fact that high). That'd give him just four inches or less to work with above the rim, which might not be enough for a jam. Again though, I'm assuming by 35'' he was referring to a max jump and not a no-step leap.

Height: 6'3.
Weight: 215 lbs
Vertical leap: Not sure haven't measured in a while (since I really started training my lower body 6-7 months ago), but I can dunk two handed, so considering my standing reach, I'm guessing somewhere between 2' - 2'6" (24-30").
Max Bench: 270lbs. Used to be more, but since I trained to become more explosive I have dropped my max bench and overall weight.
Standing Reach: 8'
Wingspan: 6'4

4 inches is what you need above the rim to dunk. So he should be able too is what I'm saying. 35" means he got hops.

Yeah I feel you. I wasn't sure how standing reach typically correlates to height. If 7'11'' is normal for a 6'3'' guy, does reach then go down one inch for every inch in height? Or is it more significant? I know I'm likely over-analyzing, but I'd say about 3 to 4 inches above the rim would be the minimum needed to slam (that's about the length of one's fingers or a little more). If his standing reach is possibly 7'5'' or lower and his maximum vertical just one or two inches overstated (33''-34'' would still be impressive) he'd find himself again out of the dunking zone.

if youd train to become more explosive your bench press should have stayed the same if not gone up...

For the average length person I guess it's every inch in height or something close to that, maybe 2 inches?. And yeah his standing reach would be around 7'5" for a 5'10" guy.

No but I was more just lifting heavy weights around before with no real purpose. I'm training smarter now. I've dropped body mass to help move around faster. I can bench a lot greater weight explosively now, that doesn't mean my 1 rep max is going to be greater.

It might be a couple inches less i have to make myself look good but ive had the same vertical since sophmore year. I have small hands and have to cradle the ball. I can dunk a volleyball easily b/c i can palm it and i can catch alleyoops but not dunk solo

if you train explosively, you are dropping the weight and reps, and increase the force of which you push the weight up with.
you are teaching your muscles to push quicker, so when you do get back to heavier weights, you have the ability to push up a heavier weight quicker so you exert the force on the weight for a shorter period of time, allowing you to not tire as quickly and hence get it up.

this is a typical instruction guide for how to get your bench up after you've peaked or even for those 6 months in looking to move up quickly once they have the basics.

you need to be a good 7 inches over the rim to dunk... and thats just a full stretch 1 handed no power nothing dunk. if u have huge hands and can palm the ball easily u could get aeay with 6 inches over only... but you have to be able to get your whole hand over it without the ball basicqlly n order to dunk. i was about 4 inches over the rim at my max and could mot dunk so i know this from experience as well.

Yeah true, I just haven't gone back up to trying that much heavy weights yet (in honesty that number I said was a rough estimate, assuming my max would have dropped, but your logic makes sense so it may be higher).
