It doesn't make sense for you to only have a 30 inch standing vert. I have a 28 and I'm squatting ~140-145 kg at the most.

I wonder if calf length and tendon length affects ankle ROM.

Well yeah, that's why I said "at the same time", because I made another point before the calf size potential point, that being "Maybe a shorter tendon might be thicker and get stiff easier"

Well firstly, when you build strength (mass, not power) you're still trying to go as fast as possible. Secondly, more mass/pure strength without power increases is just a matter of potential. You increase your potential by increasing your maximal strength. Then you can tweak the gained strength to become more powerful. That's pretty much the basis of cycles anyway.

You said in another thread you're 29 and I was like "oh man, wasn't Adarqui like 26 and me 23?". 3 years have passed like you can't believe since the glorious old days.

That first pick just doesn't make sense... any idea who that guy is? Or how much he weights/squats? He looks so big in his legs and slim/powerful upperbody. Looks NFLish to me.

Nightfly has similar calves to these guys ^^^ and jumps over 40 off one leg. Maybe a shorter tendon might be thicker and get stiff easier? At the same time, a longer, bigger calf muscle has a chance of getting even bigger than a shorter muscle (more hypertrophy potential).

Oh yeah, absolutely. What I was aiming at was the fact that "to dunk" he doesn't need to strength train. So he pretty much dunks all day long because he can do it naturally.
But of course, if he were to think "man, I need to get higher than this" then the same rules pretty much apply for him as for anybody else.

That doesn't make sense unless you're a genetic freak that already has high natural strength levels.
That's like saying "T-Dub doesn't squat, yet he jumps so high". Well yeah, of course he is, he's a guy with great structure for jumping and high natural strength levels, so he only invests time in jumping and gets better and better at that. He doesn't need to waste time training for strength.
