Kobe gets higher than 38 easily, and do you think Odom jumps high? He's 6'10
[QUOTE=JohnnyBravo5]Its 425...although I think I could get close if I had one of those powerlifting bench shirts....lol[/QUOTE]
What made you want to become a bodybuilder?
Are you obsessed with your looks? Meaning your eye sees something different from another persons eye? Like you could look in the mirror and say "I could use a lil more muscle" when to others you are a walkin piece of filet mignon. Always wondered if muscle bound freakazoids had the same complex that an anorexic chick would have.
age: 17
ht: 6'0
weight: 162 lbs
vertical leap: Don't know
max bench: Don't know
standing reach: Don't know but everyone tells me I have really long arms
wingspan: (see standing reach)
40 yard dash: Don't know
Ummmm yeah..that wasn't helpful.
hey datz check your pms.
[QUOTE]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.[/QUOTE]
I can buy most of these. The range for even decently athletic people vertical wise isnt going to be huge. Doesnt take a crazy standing vert to look athletic in the NBA. Other things factor in. Andre Iguodala for example recorded a 34 inch vertical at the predrft camp. I did that. And I promise you that you could go to any playground in america and most of the people who can dunk will be in the 31-35 range. Doesnt mean they can dunk like Iggy. I sure as hell cant and never could.
Things like size, arm length, how much more you can get up off the run than standing, and how flexible you are in the air all factor in. Plus what kind of jumper you are 1 or 2 footed.
How good a dunker you are and the athletic plays you make is n issue not as related to vert as many think. Most of my HS team ws around 33 with the highest in the 38-40 range once you got to the short guys. Little guy I knew named Jarvis was about 5'6'' getting up a legit 42 inches given a step.
There isnt that big a difference between a normal athletic person and an NBA level athletic person vertical wise even if there is a big difference in what they can do with it. The Gerald Greens, Travis Outlaws, and Josh smiths of the world who are tall and get up a legit 39-40 inches off a step are rare. Once you get over a certian height legit 40 inch verts are often just unmeasured claims to make guys look good. 31-35 is gonna be the norm for a decent dunker in the nba or not.
vertical leap- was 34'' when i was 19. probably about 16'' now since i haven't worked out in 4 years and have had many injuries
height- 6'5''
cockk size -10 inches flaccid

Good question. I don't know what pushed me over the line from Gym rat to Ronnie Coleman wannabe. I think though if you work out enough it becomes addictive and therefore you become involved with a culture that naturally leads to bodybuilding. Same for Powerlifters. Once you get to the 500lb bench plateau....might as well push for 700

Although I do think Dr.J's is too low.[/QUOTE]
If the stuff on that site is true then some of them are just insane. I know Randy Moss can get up but 51 inches is crazy. And Kadour Ziani with a 56 inch vertical is a little just unbelievable.
moss doesnt have a 51 or anything close to that.

[QUOTE=raiderfan19]not to call bs or anything but you are really as fast as vince young? I dont doubt you believe you run a 4.4 and its entirely possible that you do but its also possible that you think you run a 4.4 and were mistimed.[/QUOTE]
im not sure how they time in the nfl but at my hs, they timed as at our start...so we never we start running, the clock starts. so there could be a discrepency there...but that time i posted is what i was truly timed at no lie there

thats how their supposed to be timed (unless you can get real serious and have an electronic timer)but what i mean is that alot of hs coaches have a tendency to time their players a little faster than they are.

oh dont get me wrong i wasnt trying to call you out and say you werent fast or anything like that. Hell you could run a 4.6 and still be damn fast. I was just saying that 4.4 is borderline world class speed. Mike vick runs a high 4.3. (yes i know what he supposedly ran at vt but vt lies like hell about their times) Vince young runs a 4.4 Im talking like a legit 4.4 would put you in the top 35 or 40 fastest guys in the nfl.
Some other examples, Reggie bush runs a 4.33, Matt Jones runs a 4.4, Roy Williams(lions) Runs a 4.4 just a few examples of guys who run like that.

yea I see your point and hs coaches arent probably the most trusted...so yea maybe its a little off
