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

[QUOTE=magnax1]I have a hard time believing all these 35+ inch verts. Most athletic person I ever knew was like a 38 inch (who could dunk in the 7th grade and is like 6 feet 7 inches tall) and most people on my Varsity team were in the high 20s low 30s, and the NBA average is only like 30.[/QUOTE]
Everyone on here claims to be 6-4+, with a ridiculous vert and a 250 press.. it's bullshit lol. The average person has a vert under 20, is under 5'11, and benches slightly below their body weight, yet if you were to compile ISH averages they would be at least one SD above what the true mean is.

I'm 6'4(I have pics in the OTC to prove), 160, with a 20something vert(I ran CC in HS and am skinny as hell), but I was always good at basketball because I'm pretty quick and I have a very good jump shot..

Yeah, it's pretty stupid. I'm not going to lie and say I was athletic in any way, and I don't get why people are lying over something stupid like thison the internet. I believe a some of the height, because it is a basketball forum, so you'd expect the average guy to be an inch or two above America's average which is like 5-10.

Height: 6'2'' without shoes
Weight: 170
Vertical: 27 inch no step, 35 inch max
Standing reach: 8'4''
Wignspan: 6'7''
Max Bench: 225

+35 is hard to believe, yeah. I'm not surprised by high 20's/low 30's though. This is a basketball forum. Most people who play basketball are somewhat athletic.

As for the guy who commented on bench press... it's hardly difficult to be able to bench more than your weight, although many basketball players do struggle with it because it doesn't favor those with long arms.

I am tall, about 6'4 and a half.
About 200 pounds.
Vertical... dunno I can barely dunk one handed so maybe 20-25 inches.
Wingspan about 6'5.
Max bench about 180 pounds.
Played a bit of bball at decent standard til I was about 22, retired with an arthritic condition in my right foot.

That's all 100% honest, not even adding a miniscule amount of exaggeration - or else I would add a few inches to my vert :)

So you give up on basketball to smoke weed? :hammerhead:
and lets not act as if youre a good student so no need to mention school as a reason to stop playing ball

I didn't give up ball to smoke weed

The weed just had me wanting to do different shittt

So I really lost interest in playing highschool ball. I was still playing thou, but later quit after we lost in the Oswha tournament

I ain't a good student but me being a senior (I stopped playing ball after Sophomore season) I just needed to get better grades, and when I smoke weed that shhiit gets me really focused on my work

As well as work forgot about that:hammerhead:

I used to be able to ollie onto the top of a picnic table.

Nowadays I'd be happy to make it over the curb.

I won't say this isn't true, but it'd be surprising to me if the average poster here had a vertical of under 20 inches. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if a chunk of the verticals posted here are stretched a little, meaning guys may have been posting some of their slightly embellished one-step or max-jump numbers as their traditional vert (aka standing vert). I've surely slipped under the guise of the vague "what's your vert" question by providing my max instead of my standstill. However, when people are specific (like the OP was here), I will provide multiple vert results (standing, one-step, max).

I never really found the height numbers strange though. The basketball court is the only place where I feel average, if not short (at 6'3''). It wouldn't be suprising to see a portion of that carry over to a basketball forum.

Of course, I can't speculate on the weight lifting numbers, as I am not well versed in what is normal and what isn't. I believe what you say, but again I am surprised that on average, a person benches below their body weight. I cannot imagine maxing out at 160-165lbs. Again, I'd have to play the athlete card here and venture out to say that I'm betting it's not entirely unrealistic for any former or current varsity basketball players here to bench their own weight.

Damn your tall as balls man :eek:

Height 5'7-5'8
152 lbs
I have no clue what my standing vert is but i can most definitely grab the rim on a one step jump
Max bench 205 (trying to get this up over 230 by the end of the semester)
i have between a 6'2-6'3 wingspan
My 40 time is 4.4-4.5

Height:6'2
Weight:220
Wingspan:6'2 (god bless davinci)
Max bench:no idea
Standing vert: can touch a bit above the rim
Running vert: mini ball dunk, regular if i'm lucky

Uh, benching your own weight isn't anything. Doubling would be impressive, though. I have an advantage because I have relatively short arms. I know a lot basketball players struggle with the bench because of their length.

[QUOTE=geeWiz15]age: 17
ht: 6'
wt: 150
wingspan: 6'4

can anybody estimate my vert? with a one step gather I can barely get rim. on a good day I can get a little past my first knuckle on the rim.[/QUOTE]

probably 25 with approach. your reach is probably 8'0 and ill give your high touch 10'1, so thats 25

age:19
Ht:5'11" 180cm
Vertical 31.4 without shoes.
wt:136 62kg
wingspan 6.1 186cm
Bench I dunno

Height: 5"10
Weight: 76 KG
Bench: 60Kg
Standing Reach: 7"7
Standing Vert: 19/20"
Running Vert: 29"

I sky when I offensive rebound, but am piss poor on defensive rebounds.

If I understand jumping science correctly, it must be to do with my strength level why my standing vert is so bad compared to my running vert. Don't know my 40 meter dash, but I have excellent acceleration....Only really do 100 meter sprints here in UK.

5'11.5" - in my bare feet
6'0.25" - in basketball shoes
6'0.5" wingspan
136lbs - current weight
153lbs - heaviest I've been after strength training
185lbs - max bench (less now, I'm sure)

22.5" Max Vert, @ 14 years old.... I remember cause it was much better than all but one kid who had 24" - but that's when I realized I could jump well.
36" Max Vert - w/o training it (very active though) - always been naturally good at jumping - for a white guy that is.

I only occasionally lift weights but in the past 3 years I do/have done:
*Indoor Soccer
*Basketball "6'0 & under" leagues even though most players in those leagues are 6'0-6'3... not fair since I played a "big" :oldlol:
*Mountain biking
*Track & Field (open summer meets) - long jump
*Volleyball (...bar league)
*Hiking - not a sport... but keeps you fit

1.07 crural index - (tibya length ratio in relation to femur length) - average is .83 for Caucasian American's and .87 for African American's - olympic jumpers are typically 1.1-1.2. Crural index dictates how much leverage your body has to perform tasks related to jumping. I'll typically have a leverage advantage over people of equal strength - hence I didn't have to train to jump well.

Here is mine.A little bit different

5'9.5 bare feet
208lbs (down from 230lbs)
6'1.5 wing span
Bench Max 290lbs
My standing reach 7'10
My running vertical used to be 29-30'(74cm to be exact)
(when i was 190lbs however right now i can barely jump)
BTW i am having hard time believing all +30' verticals because i used to work on my vertical all the time i wasnt able to crack 30.

I used to play center-pf against +6'3 guys however i could push them easily.
BTW i know average american male height is 176.6cm(from an article) around my height.Everybody seems to be taller than six foot around ISH

ht = 6'4"
weight = was a hard 236 when I drank shakes everyday and lifted constantly, now 218
vertical leap = 32
max bench = was 265 twice, now 235
standing reach = IDK
wingspan = 6'8"
40 yard dash = 4.7

Ready to defend the homefront against any and all silverbacks.

Doubling your own weight is not impressive.It would be fantastic (not possible for most people though)accomplishment.I used to work out all the time.I was around 230.I could barely crack 300lbs(one rep). 280lbs 10reps. Doubling is not likely for most people.I dont think i have heard any nba player that can bench double their own weight.

[QUOTE=CeltsGarlic]I agree with this, Im highest jumper in my class by some margin, and all these +30 seems crazy. World class leapers we have here.[/QUOTE]

with 22.5" I was the 2nd highest jumper in my class in 9th grade, and that was far ahead of everyone else at that age pulling 15-19". I was 2nd behind a guy who was held back a year - and was a very good athlete, who had 24". I was 5'7-5'8 skinny as a rail - and my fitness activity at the time was playing video games, I didn't do any sports or lift weights, in fact I was a nerd with low confidence.

I have a [I]very[/I] high crural index, much nearer to Olympic jumpers than the average person - I'm very lightweight (but not weak) and at this point I do a lot of sports. My max-vertical 2 years ago was dead-even 36.0". I'm about 25 now, so perhaps it's only going to go down from here but at 23, in the prime of my life doing many different sports ~4 days a week, 36" does not seem otherworldly like some people make it out to be. It's certainly not common though, I'll agree on that. In all the sports I do I've never met someone who I felt could jump higher/farther than me that isn't disciplined to do so - like a Track and Field jumper or something. Black or white, I can always out leap people save for 2 guys I've played against out of the 2 basketball leagues I've been in. And they only seemed to "match" my relative hang time not exceed it.

I never did long-jump in High-School (I did run hurtles Junior and Sr year though) and in 2010 I was a walk-on for a Track and Field summer meet with 2 weeks of practice and placed first in the long-jump by a 12" margin. There were no elite jumpers in the competition, just some high-school competitors who wanted to get ahead with summer practice and a former collegiate jumper that was approaching thirty - but still, it surprised me that I was that far ahead. And I did that with bad form, my speed was good but my penultimate step was... ugly. I wasn't elevating like I should - and my arms swung me to the side rather than straight ahead. Anyways a 30+" vertical might seem a stretch for you guys but some people are just naturally good at jumping.

Height: About six feet even I think
Weight: More than I'd like LOL, maybe around 190-200, and not enough is muscle
Max Bench press: Not sure, but probably not much

Height:6'0.5 184cm

I don't know the rest but my vertical is pretty bad and so is my bench.I need to gaina few pounds

Mate nobody is accusing you of lying.It just seems strange when only handful of nba players has +35-36' verticals.However i know some people like you.I recall one back in HS.He was shorter than me.About 5'8.He could dunk easily.His wing span and standing reach wasnt very good either.However you can understand our skepticism when almost half of ISH claiming verticals between 30'-38'
