I'm 5'11 with a 6'3 wingspan. I don't really find benching hard but squats are fairly difficult.
I just measured my leg length and it was 3'3 (39 inches) from heel to hip joint.

- triple broad jump

- DL bound x 3,3
not as far as triple broad jump, although i'm sure that's because i'm pretty good at pulling my feet forward and stabilizing if i don't have to rebound.

Do you know the measurements and differences between the two?  

Your RDLVJ is much greater than your standing right?  

not exactly. it was the first time i'd tried it and kind of a whim. the difference between the first set of bounds and the second was pretty dramatic, too, for what that's worth. if i had to guess, i'd say the 3 x broad jump was about 26.5 feet, and the second set of bounds was about 24.5 feet. will actually measure next time. also, my single broad jump PR is something like 9'2.

DLRVJ is 5-8 inches higher than SVJ. DLRVJ is more variable. i think SVJ is about 25 unless i'm extremely amped or extremely tired, but recent DLRVJ varies from 30-33 workout to workout. when i'm in a better groove with it, as i was in may, it's more like 32-35. all-time PR is about 35.

Yeah I thought I remember you gaining huge out of an approach.  8 inches in amazing.

Since it's the first time trying bounding... you might improve a lot with practice then and you will soon bound farther than muli broad jump.  Last time I tested on the vertec I was stuck at 35 SVJ, 36 RVJ, still really frustrating.  I do 4xbroad jump and go just over 40 feet, but when I bound I always get 2 feet farther, or 3 feet farther if I depth drop into the first bound.  For some reason I seem to score reactive on multiple jumping tests but can't seem to get what you can out of a running vertical jump...  Maybe I just hate the carpet where the vertect is and the results would be different if I could test on grass or track!  

Yeah i'm same as LBSS. I can always touch rim from SVJ, which gives me at least 26 inches of SVJ. With 1 step off 2 feet (drop step or whatever it's called) I can grab rim with 2 hands, which gives me at least 30 inches. Than with SLRVJ i get another 4 inches more than my drop step except it fuks up my left knee when i do SLRVJ.
It's crazy that you can only jump 1 more inch than your SVJ but your SVJ is heaps high so it's not that big a deal. If i had your SVJ I would be getting 40+ easy though.

Edit- I don't know I'm just guessing I'd get 40 but maybe as your SVJ gets higher the difference between SVJ and RVJ gets lower coz I used to have a 8-10 inch difference but now it's only 6-8 inches.

Yeh I know what you mean. With squats when you get a PR or make progress they are actually enjoyable but when you don't they just piss you off but we'll both be repping 3 plates soon just got to stick at it.

Squatting is soo frustrating!
I'm in a similiar position to you atm. A few weeks ago I got 132.5 for a double and now today I only done 120 for a triple. In my case it was coz I fuked up my knee, which set my progress back a bit but yeh hopefully in like a couple months I'm doing 140 for a triple- if not than

Nobody can really say. Some people can just look at a squat rack and they'll be squatting 2x their bw in no time. For others (like myself) it can take months, maybe even years to be able to squat 2x bw. The point is just to try and get as strong as you possibly can while keeping your bodyfat low.

Nice bro. I remember when i got my first dunks I felt on top of the world. I didn't know you were an Aussie as well! We got a few on this forum haha. Congrats.
