Guess my vert thread

Edit: if you want to beat a dead horse and discuss my form/choice of exercises, do it in my journal. Stay on topic. Also only the first 1/3 of this video contains jumps.

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

0:31 looks sweet.
It's hard to guess but i'd say around 33". It definitely looks at least 30" and maybe it's up to 35" it's hard to tell but looks impressive!

Thanks guys, but I created this thread, because after I measured everything it was only 31.'' I had thought it would be 34, but nope. It's very surprising to me because that pipe I was reaching for measured in at 10'1.5'' (reach is 7'6.5''). THat's weird also because it looks WAY higher than any rim I've tried to grab.

Also when I measured my reach, I reached up as high as I possibly could, straining muscles in my side/back. I think many people underestimate their reaches to inflate their jumps. Anyway, that's all. I'm gonna keep it consistent and just worry about seeing progress on a monthly/biweekly basis and get my squat up. It was good thugh for me to see the numbers because they tell the truth. I can still hardly believe it though, because 5 months ago, I was looking at that pipe thinking "woah it would be crazy to touch that standing," well not really! Lol

Yeah I know the feeling. Sometimes stuff looks so high and when you jump you touch it easily.

And sometimes it looks so low and you can barely dunk on that.
