On an unrelated note, i did get close to dunking today off of one foot, the P.E teacher even said all i needed was an inch and it would have been a dunk.
You don't need a good vertical if you can just drop the ball into the hoop without even jumping...but for everybody else then you might have to actually jump.
Back in college I had about a 35" on a run up. Never really measured the one foot, or standing vert. I'm short tho, 5'-11" with no real wingspan (as in, my wingspan doesn't exceed my height). All I could do was grab rim.
After my Rhuematoid arthritis, my vert is like 12" if I'm lucky.
im 16 75kg i think thats like 165pounds i think and 182cm - 6ft my standing vert is about 55cms-63cm or 22-25inchs depends if its a good day or bad day. sorry for both imperial and metric im from oz we use imperial and im not too sure about my conversions
i been playing ball since grade school, never really took it seriously, as in doing individual drills, practice, etc.. never tried a jumping program.. have only worked out my legs on occasions.. im 5'9 170lbs and sadly my running vertical is around 25 inches...
That's not bad...I don't think I know anyone with that high of a vertical to be honest! Mine is like 8-9 inches shorter than that (but I can just barely touch the rim even though I have a 7,7 ish standing reach w/ shoes on). Can you dunk btw?
Re: What's your vert?
