So you squatted 320lbs x 5 and you weigh 179.5lbs, which brings your standing vertical jump 33 inches.
is this estimate close to your actual jump and your running jump should be about 34-36 inches depending on power dispacement

 

oh man, if only it were that simple. i'm pretty sure my standing vert is still under 30. it'll go up with some practice and hopefully that'll carry over to running jumps. i have a big gap right now between running and standing, like at least 5".

court update: my buddy made a big donation to the church so it's now available monday, wednesday and friday mornings from 6-8. they'll be playing basketball on it but he said i can use it for jumping if the game isn't full-court. this would require some planning.

also, some friends and i are talking about making a donation to the church and setting up an informal lifting coop in the old gym space. that would be so fucking cool.

i dunno, i got paranoid that the bar was somehow less than 45 pounds but i checked with one of the staff and sure enough, the full-length bars are all standard weight. yay.

also, no soreness this morning. 

this debate is boring and has been had over and over again with no resolution whatsoever. no one's cents are worth anything.

office holiday party was yesterday so no gym. had forgotten about that over the weekend. oh well. did some mobility stuff over the weekend including wrecking my back on the peanut. i'm not sure i've ever before been sore the next day from soft tissue work. got gf to push down on my shoulder so i could do some IR stuff, too.

That's pretty damn impressive. I always get wary though when the media starts hyping prodigies up when they haven't even hit puberty.

yup. apparently one thing college football coaches ask parents when they're evaluating whether to recruit a talented kid or not is, "can he grow a beard?" if the answer is no, then the kid is talented despite being developmentally in line with or behind his peers and probably hasn't reached his full potential. if the answer is yes, then there's a higher chance he's just matured quicker and so can beat up on the less developed kids. but once they mature, he's screwed.

sounds about right.

high bar IMO. the point of low bar is to lift as much weight as possible, not so much to have as much athletic carryover. olympic lifters use them instead of low bar as they feel it is a better of increasing strength as they are in fact much harder. its a tool to increase VJ/speed, not a predictor, so why would you cheat yourself just to feed your ego? idk thats just my ten cents

your ten cents? giving yourself an awful lot of credit there, aren't you? ordinarily it's two. the answer to hyperdunk's question is "it depends." anything beyond that is completely meaningless without further context.
