What's your vert?

[halffttime]

a little under 5'10, 7'7 reach fully extended (last time i checked), can touch the rim on a good day..



and i'm overweight,

[Zak]

Yeah, I know. Considering my racial background, though, I'm lucky enough I can jump!

work on that, see if you can touch the rim, a realistic goal for ure height now.

Damn bro, you're lucky.

I'm 6' 1/4" barefoot(now), with a standing reach of 7'8". I only have a 20 inch vert now.

Back when I was 16 I was 5'9" and weighed 150, I could get rim on a regulation hoop. (About 31 inch vert)

Now I'm almost 21 and weigh 210 (out of shape, but not fat slob out of shape). I'm really working at getting back in shape hoping to dunk.

im not sure what my vert is but Im 5'10 145 lbs, 6'2 wingspan. I can grab rim with 2 hands no running start. I need to be able to dunk by now but I can't get the transition 2 foot jump correct yet, anyone got ideas.

impressive you easily have a 30+ vertical, but can't dunk weird.

I don't know man. My arms are only 20 inches over the top of my head.

I just measured again, my reach is 7' 9", I'm pretty sure it should be an inch or two higher, but it's not.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Actually downloaded the VJB a few months back (sorry, Kelly ) and I'm trying to get started on the beginner's strength program, it's just that I don't really have access to a gym right now.

I can dunk off an alley oop I did it a few times, but yea the problem I'm having is I don't know how to take off on a run with the ball. Does anyone know how to fix this.

I am only 5,9 but I have a long-standing reach for my height (I can touch the 8 ft ceiling of my apartment w/o jumping at all).

I have a friend in my neighhourhood who has a hydraulic adjustable rim (the rim can be adjusted very precisely). I lowered the rim to exactly 7,6" and played with a mini-basketball (for kids). I did this simulate it exactly how it's like to play basketball if I were 7,9 " (the same height as Sun Ming Ming and Bao Xishun). I barely even had to on my tippy toes to dunk one-handed!

If I only I played with a bunch of midgets...then I'll literally feel like a giant...

[kevinpetez]

I'm 6'3 and mine is 31"

[pst]

I'm somewhere around 5'10, 5'11. Standing vert ~27, running a couple more inches
