Read some of the articles at [url]www.bodybuilding.com[/url]. You should up your protein intake to about 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight. In your case you should eat about 150-200 grams of protein per day..assuming of course you aren't 12.

:roll: A black bodybuilder/lawyer. Who woulda thought.

[B]Height:[/B] 6'1"
[B]Weight:[/B] 205-220 (varies with the season)

[B]Vertical:[/B] around 33" with an approach (I can usually get my whole or most of my hand above the rim)

[b]Wingspan:[/b] I think the one time I checked this out of curiosity it was about 6'7"-6'8".

[B]Standing Reach:[/B] around 7'8" or so


[B]Max Bench[/B]: Never tried to max out; I never lifted weights until recently (last several months) and haven't bought a bench yet. I will say that when I was 17, my best friend and I went to the gym every day at 6 AM for about a month before we fizzled out and I was doing 3 sets of 10-12 reps @ 185 pounds right off the bat, with no prior weightlifting experience, so take that as you will. I have a naturally broad chest and shoulders.


[B]40 yard time:[/B] Don't know, but I routinely outran guys on the track team who were doing mid-high 4's in college. I have an odd running technique (never thought about it, it just developed this way growing up) that I now realize cuts down on my time to cover distance: I run only on the balls of my feet; my arch and heel literally [b]never[/b] touch the ground. This minimizes the time that my feet are in contact with the ground, increasing my speed. It wreaks havoc on your shins if you do any sort of distance (which is why I run in the normal heel-to-toe fashion for anything distance-related), but it's [i]great[/i] for short-burst speed since it allows for faster leg turnover.

I remember playing ball in college with the school team (they'd come down after practice to the rec center and play for a while sometimes) and there was a loose ball that was about 25 feet away from me, but only about 12-15 feet away from the starting PG (a [i]really[/i] quick 5'8" kid, weighed about 150, if that). We both saw it and at first were just gonna let it roll out of bounds. Then, at the same moment, we must have both decided to go get it. We end up reaching the ball at the same time and knocking into each other and knocking the ball out of bounds. He was shocked, because he saw that I had covered roughly twice the distance he did in the same time. He goes "daaaaamn boy, you just turned on the jets!" :D Suffice it to say that I have natural speed. I've always maintained that I could have run track had I wanted to, because I've ran against track athletes and football/basketball players, and even where they were marginally faster than me, they were in [b]much[/b] better shape. In the incident recalled above, for instance (which was about 5-6 years ago), I was up to 235 pounds -- about 35-40 pounds over my ideal weight, with a good deal of fat (it was a particularly bad winter phase :D; I gain and take off weight very easily). And I still outran someone who was in the best shape possible. And that's far from the only time that's happened.


The best part? I'm white. :D :banana:

35 is probably the lower threshhold of being athletic, someone like Dorrel Wright or Quis Daniels. I assume we're all talking about the max hops we can get and not standing vertical as well otherwise that changes everything.

[quote]most athletic nba players get 37-45[/quote]
standing vert? then how come when your read about some dude with a 40-42 inch vert people go crazy over it? if that's normal?

I always thought it was prime Francis, etc, special guys who were in the low 40s, while guys like current Kobe, Gilbert, etc were in the high to mid 30s.

to think I'm only a few inches away from guys like that is crazy.

heres another estimation for you guys.

5'11 with a normal wingspan and can do a one handed dunk pretty consistently. can grip the rim with one step gather.

the thing is one step gather and running max are about the same for me. no matter how much momentum I got I can't get any higher than one knuckle on the rim.

I'm sorry guys, but most of you are lying; or we have a statistical anomaly in here.

According to most websites I've seen, Kobe Bryant has a 38" vertical, Iverson having a 41", Odom having a 32", Prime Malone 28". To see 3/4ths of ISH seem to be above Odom, I sense a lot of bullsh*t in here.

I'm 6'3 215 now.
Black mind you
Max bench 250ish
Vert is probably 28 now, was 32" in prime, and I was scouted in high school.

and :oldlol: at johnnybravo's 525 bench press. :bowdown:

here's one a just googled

Although I do think Dr.J's is too low.

i posted my running vert. My standing vert is about 25-26
