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

[QUOTE=arifgokcen]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'[/QUOTE]

Didn't know that many people were claiming it lol. The ratio of non-pro athletes I've seen (who are active in sports) who can jump comparable to my jumps vs the ones who can't is certainly not good. It's probably like 1 in 75 based on how many players are in the 2 basketball leagues, and that's for people that are in my age group. I don't know what's normal but 26-34 should seem plausible for anyone physically fit and age 19-25 no?

[url]www.draftexpress.com/measurements[/url]

The overwhelming majority of NBA draft candidates are 28-36" - not that everyone here is that age, or that physically conditioned. But Larry Bird allegedly had a 28" max vert - he was 6'9 and no stand-out leaper he was just an average joe who was fit. Anyone who's physically fit and young could be anywhere in that range, no? Maybe not though maybe basing it on NBA numbers is too high a bar.

bench: ? i havent benched ever (dont really workout that much)

standing reach: probly around 7 feet 7 inches (this is just a guess based on me being able to touch rim, so give or take an inch or two on this and vertical.)

wingspan: about 5 feet 11 inches

vertical: dont know but i can barely touch rim which should give me a 28-29 inch vetical (based off my assumed standing reach)

40 time: last time i did it was over a year ago and it was for basketball training and i ran it in 5.08 seconds, but we never measured at the end of the training. i was never good at the 40 though. it took a little time to get to full speed. i was the fastest player on our team.

vertical leap: ~36 (Can dunk with two hands on a good day)
max bench: ~120lb

Shiieet one year later and I'm 220 and a lot more cut.. bench 315 now

So, had some time to burn while required to be doing something on the computer, so I did an impromptu data collection of the posts in this thread. I garnered the highest given vertical numbers, assuming most were providing their max verticals as opposed to their traditional no-step verts. Further, I only had weight categories in the tens (170, 180, 190, etc.) so half of the fives were placed high and the other half low (175 became 180 for some, 170 for others). Also, most heights, given the option, were without shoes, since that's how I gave my measurement. Really rough data not meant to be exact, just a fun time-passer.

But no. [B]Had to settle for poor mans Baron Davis "Sneak one in now and then" facials on opponents.[/B] And as a 2 footed jumper didnt have too much gliding. Lacked range. So I could go high over someone but none of that Dr.J majestic gliding ****.

if what they are saying is true, this will be quite amazing...

I'm legally a midget, about 4'3. My vertical leap is reasonably good, sometimes I can jump twice my body height in order to grab cereal from top cupboard.
My middle leg is 13 inches long flaccid and my max bench is 937 pounds.

To be truthful, as rough as the data was, the results still weren't that outstanding. An average height of 6'1'' here isn't too crazy. Nor is an average weight of 185lbs.

Height has a chance of being a little skewed when accounting for whether folks count their barefoot height or shoe height. I'm assuming many provided their shoe height as that is how the NBA makes their listings.

With vertical, there are three forms of measurement which is probably what'd most skew the result here. [b]Vertical[/b], by traditional definition, is a no-step leap, likely resulting in a very unimpressive number. [b]One-step vertical[/b] is pretty self explanatory and will provide a vastly better looking number than a straight vert. [b]Max vertical jump[/b] is as high as a player case rise given a proper running opportunity. It'll pump out the most impressive number by far. Actually, in some circles, the max vert may be the same as the one step. That's why I called mine simply "Elevation Off Run".

Anyway, we can probably all guess which number people like to refer to when sharing their vertical with others: the max, running start, all-out jump. Take that high number and add an inch or two like many people will want to do and bam, it's an impressive looking number. However, when someone lists their running vert and other folks list their standing or one steps (or are at least reading the results as if they're standing or one steps) there's a huge window for miscommunication here.

For instance, on one hand, if a poster here reports a 31'' vertical, with reference, one of us could say, "What?? You're saying your vert is 4'' higher than Al-Farouq Aminu's?" Then it could turn out the 31'' report was a max jump comparing to Aminu's no-step. We'd then find out Aminu's max was 33.5'', easily surpassing the original poster's number given.

would love to know the average bench on here.

outside the joke responses it seems as if everyone has long arms and still manages to press well over their body weight. lol.

Bench pressing over body weight isn't [i]that[/i] crazy, is it? I'm pretty sure I said this a long time ago in this thread, but I can't imagine only being able to bench 170lbs. as a max. I can easily eclipse the 170lbs. bench mark and I'm not particularly built, ripped, or strong (as could be seen by my body weight).

your stats seem pretty spot on, unlike the others.

there were a few. 6 foot tall, 6'6 wingspan and only 175lbs or something and still pushing 250lbs plus.
at a bigger height, longer arms and lower weight, its only going to be harder to get something like that up.

The average 5'10 guy who is 170 pounds and has average fitness/strength would probably max bench press about 120-150 pounds IMO.

Vertical Leap- 26-28
Height- 6'6 1/4
Weight- 250-255
Max Bench- I haven't hit a bench since 21 regularly( I'm 25 now) but I know I can bench 185 no problem ( My max was like 250) ever
Wingspan- 6'11
Age- 25

I know guys lie about their stats, I don't know why. I am a decent athlete by Playground standards. Ive definitely gotten my ass beat by Dee and Shannon Brown when we were 16-17 in Maywood

Of the 52 people who provided an actual max, the average bench weight comes out to: 218.55 lbs. I know nothing about weight lifting so I don't know how high that is for regular athletes. My instinct is to say that feels like a very high average in comparison to the average height, weight, and verts of these same posters (which didn't really feel that insane at 6'1'' 185 lbs.). Then again, I suppose the big bench numbers (300+ bench) would really influence this one.

330 lbs max bench (Also a guess, as I haven't maxed since beginning of senior year of high school because I just wanted to get 315 and once I got that I never maxed again, but I can tell I got a little stronger with age and such even though I don't up my weight since back then)

like g-train said, the average max bench press is below a persons bodyweight. i realize this is a basketball forum and bound to have some fit people, but really, it was an obvious trend that most had insane benches despite physical limitations such as weight and long arms.

I'd say the mean in terms of bench press given the weights would be somewhere around 150-170 and average being 185lbs if everyone posted truthfully.
im saying this based on my weightlifting experience over the 4 years i've been going.

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.

[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]you can't dunk with a 35" vertical?

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.

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.

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.
