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

[QUOTE=Pushxx]Practice man. Use your strength as an advantage.

Mix that in with good footwork, a good jumpshot, and good hustle, and you'll be a way better basketball player.[/QUOTE]
I do practice basketball, I love it as i'm sure everyone on here does. It is pretty hard in Canada during the winter though, especially when the nearest public indoor court is about a 40 minute drive away.

My footwork is mediocre at best, I can't seem to get the coordination down. It's like my freaking mind just can't comprehend what to tell my feet to do. I can visualize exactly what I want to do, but when I try to do it I always screw up.

My jumpshot as i'm sure you can guess is very bad. It's like rookie LeBron bad. I can get hot, but I don't think I have the muscle memory that professional athletes have. Not to toot my own horn, but I think the reason is that I am just to strong to have a good shot, but I use my strength more because of my profession (Pen guard).

I handle some of the worst inmates in Canada on a daily basis, and when a situation breaks out I have to be able to outmuscle multiple inmates at a time while I wait for backup. Thankfully nothing serious has ever happened to me, but it's been close and without my strength and training i'm not sure I would even be here at this momment.

Edit: And as for hustle, I may not be the best player on the court, but i'll be damned if I am not trying the hardest out there. I block every shot possible, I draw fouls, and I take charges. I am basically an Anderson Varejao type of player at this point, my post game is slightly better as I actually have a hook shot.

My summer league stats last year (21 and under) were 14pts, 11rbs, 1apg, 3blk, .3stl. I also shot 60% from the feild as I am pretty much strictly a post up player, and I draw a lot of fouls.

FYI I have videos to prove all my claims/stats :banana:

[QUOTE=Pushxx]Most basketball players are the opposite of strong lifters absolutely. They have to be or they'll be too slow.

I would be a much better basketball player if my upper body was much lighter. Being built is a big reason why I'm so slow for my size.

I imagine only professional athletes can 1RM bench press 1.5x their weight and still have a 35"+ vert. Probably ISH is just e-stating it up. I've always been more dedicated to bodybuilding than playing basketball. Obviously I'm obsessed with the NBA more than anything though.[/QUOTE]

I'm not doubting you man. As a whole though ? LOL

E-stating is right. ISH...home of E-stating

[QUOTE=Rake2204]Of all the statistics people have listed, I've struggled to believe the bench max the most. 40 people claimed to weigh more than 170 lbs. here. Of those 40, 17 claimed they could max more than 225 lbs. Knowing virtually nothing about bench lifting, I'm not sure how crazy that is or not, but it seems like a high number of people.

Also, when I came out to a InsideHoops average of 218 lbs. for bench[/QUOTE]

If I had to guess and be generous...I'd guess that the average man can max about 185lbs on bench. 218 is way too high

220lb is 100kg (measurement we use in Aus). To be honest it isn't THAT out of the ordinary for someone that would get to the gym a few times a week, and actually put in a decent effort when they're in there.

It's not out of the ordinary for people who get in there a few times a week and do work...truth is the average person doesn't

Yeah true. I guess in that case a few people on here may have stretched the truth on that then :lol ....I would trade my bench press strength (I have a naturally large upper body and wide shoulders) for better hops anyday. So I don't know why people would lie about their bench on here, for most positions in basketball it shouldn't be that important, especially at the heights that are listed!

Yeah, no way most people on here can bench 100kg :oldlol: I can do 80 on 1 rep max, although I guess Im not that serious with my lifting (been training for a 10k recently).

if you way 170lb you should def be able to bench over 200 easily. i'm 160 5'9 and maxed at 230 when I was lifting at least 4x a week.

5'8" and 185 pounds

bench press? probably around 120 lbs. IDK, it's been awhile since I've been to the gym. LOL

Standing reach...IDK.

Wingspan like Kevin Love. I can barely jump.

ht: 6-3 (190cm)
weight:164 lb
vertical leap: low 30s
max bench: ?
standing reach ?
wingspan 6-10
40 yard dash: ?

Sick wingspan, those are bball player numbers, you play?

[QUOTE=CeltsGarlic]Sick wingspan, those are bball player numbers, you play?[/QUOTE]

Played, Sabas bball school.

height 6-2 (187cm)
weight 80kg(172lbs)
wingspan idk but i do have long arms
vert i can touch the rim (so not very high)
40 yard dash idk but i was always around 7.5sec for 60m before i gained weight

Height: 6'4
Weight: 165
Wingspan:?? I have long arms though. I'm fitted for 35 sleeves so I'd guess it's at my height or a little more.
Standing Reach: I can touch the net without lifting my feet off the ground.
Vert: Not sure. I can dunk off 1 foot with a running start. Really need to get this up though.
Bench: 135.
40: I ran track in HS. Had a 540 mile and high 50 second 400. IDK 40 tho.

I'm pretty quick for my height and length so I can easily get around a big guy if they put one on me. And it's very easy to find slashers/the open man or shoot if they put a smaller guy on me. Defense is probably my favorite part of the game.
