    And I can get about 6 inches above rim.

    So 10'6" - 8'2" = 24 in. running vert. Sad.

    Quick question, do you measure reach on your tiptoes or flat footed on the floor?

I do it to increase motor unit recruitment, before I start dunking a regular basketball
    If your vert is 40 right now, and you are down from your prime then what was it in your prime?

    Alright this is a REALLY rough estimate. I remember reaching as high as I could on one of those giant rulers at Home Depot and I could barely touch 7'6-7'7 reaching as high as I could. When I (running)jump I'm about 2-3 inches under the rim. I'm 5'8.5. So apparently my running vertical would be what?

    9'10 - 7'6 = 28 inches?

    Is that decent for someone who just plays ball for fun and is an average sixteen year old white kid?

    My reach has to be wrong, anyway. I can't only reach two feet above my head? Or can I?

    Ok then, that makes my standing reach 8'1.

    Off of no step/one step gather two footed, I can get like 2 inches above the rim so: 10'2-8'1= 25 inches.

    With a runup and one footed, since I am a one footed jumper, I can get like 5-6 inches above the rim:

    10'5-8'1= 28 inches, and i am 14 years old.

    Here is a pic with a one step gather, that i took during photography class at school, I am 100% certain the rim is 10 foot and later on maybe after next class i can get a picture with me with a runup one footed in an indoor gym.

    EDIT: Put it as thumbnail now.


    Not the best jump/picture, but if i can take another one ill upload it.


    If you are wondering btw, I'm 14, 6'1, reach is 8'1, and I weigh about 145.

    You're 14. You don't need to do any weight lifting for a while.
