hopefully there arent too many 6-2 160lb people that are trying to lift a lot of weight...

but yeaa height and limb length play such a big role in lifts

i agree, just like people have the freedom to hate on the rule, BYU has the right to make and enforce this rule..man Jimmer is the man, is he mormon?

Obviously, the dunking world is full of genetic freaks who can dunk without touching a squat rack in their lives.  Who are some of the best examples of the opposite- guys who have become extremely strong, and as a result, or at the same time, developed great VJ or RVJ?  Talking about the guys that you can definitely say "they are damn strong" and they can jump freaking high(and there is a strong correlation).

My few:

RIP
the short guy can also fly and squats a lot



Not trying to start a pro squat only freaking CoolCol J thread, but for the average "white boy" developing a big time squat can be essential to developing some serious ups, not to mention it really is the most trainable essential part of Vertical jumps.

In your country do you use commas where in America we would use decimals?

Well if you are still in HS good for thinking critically about it. I know I wish i would have spent more times perfecting routes, catching passes, working on getting off ball, 1 on 1 break downs, pass rushing techniques ETC.

A ton can be mimicked without the use of pads/hitting, people just dont think critically and come up with drills, instead relying on weight training and a few passing tournaments every summer.

kinda on the topic of generalizations/conclusions, just watched a documentary type movie on the book "freakenomics"(read a little of it too). pretty interesting shit.

hmm never did them like that

Another great but under used exercise for improving lower/upper body in terms of vertical jump power- overhead med ball throws, almost same thing as swings except your letting go for distance or height

dont agree at all, there can be a ton of discrepancy between having a good stand broad and good standing vert IMO. Especially shorter guys/less lanky guys are at a disadvantage standing broad jump wise, same goes for those with form issues(flexibility, actually technique in terms of broad jump)

Not sticking up for the guy nor do I care what he jumps lol Just saying from observation and experience

For example, in the past I had standing vert of 30, yet I could barely get over 9 on broad and maybe only did a few times..
