How high can you jump?

[Koing]

At Weight Lifting the other day we were doing standing jumps to see how high we could jump and see how explosve you were.

I could stand still and jump 134cm and I'm 5"10.


Here

You had to stand still and jump on to the discs. You had to get both feet on to it. Once on to it you could jump off but as long as you had 2 feet on it the jump counted. This is a standing jump and you could do a little jump to start you off. You had to have your feet still then just jump. You tuck your legs in to you can get higher.

I'm 5"10, weight of 167lbs. I can max squat 130kg (286lbs that was a few weeks ago and I wasn't pushing 100% then so I think I should be able to do about 135kg = 297lbs or might be a bit more)

not very, I'm White

 

[sohcrates]

I can dunk...is that good?

 

[Koing]

I haven't been on a bball court in YEARS!

I could never dunk back then but *might* be able to know but I don't think so. I can tuck jump 134cm but I want to try and duck sometime.......

i'm 5'9" and in my prime (3 yrs ago), i could touch a basketball rim. i could almost grab and hang on it.

can anyone here under 6 feet dunk a bball?

 

[punkrawket]

My 5'10" Chinese friend can dunk. I was a high jumper in high school (I'm 5'6") and can touch a rim...on a *VERY* good day, I can dunk a tennis ball

Basketball camp between my junior and senior year, one of the players who was 5'9" could stuff it two handed. Damned guy jumped like a frog.

I could also stuff two handed, but then I'm 6'5".

damn, i'm outta shape

time to hit the courts...

 

[Doggiedog]

I'm 5'10". Back in college 10 years ago, I could dunk a tennis ball. Not anymore though. I play volleyball these days and I can still spike a ball hard but not like I used to. Can barely grab the rim on a good day.

as much as the two handed dunk impressed me.....20069 posts!?!

tell that 5'9" guy to match that

 

[UofI]

Two feet? I dont know since I am white!

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

I'm 5'5" and lets put it this way... on a good day I can barely whisk the net. LOL... Oh well, at least my feet don't hang off the end of the bed.

Yup. When it comes down to it, I'm much prouder of my neffing skills than anyone's dunking abilities

Out a second floor window is about my limit.

 

[b0mbrman]

THen I got you beat there...I've jumped from 1250 feet

<< THen I got you beat there...I've jumped from 1250 feet >>



Man, that's 125 basketball rims....

 

[MichaelD]

Depends on how big the dog that is chasing me is.

Jumping = not my thing. Years ago (like 10) I could grab a handful of net, but no rim. Heheh, I'm 6"1'.

I still got to try and dunk someday. How high is the *official* hoop set at?

I'm 5"10 and can jump 134cm standing still so I *hope* to dunk someday!

 

[Russ]

<< How high is the *official* hoop set at? >>



Ten feet.

Wait...if you've got a 4.5 foot vertical and you're 5'10", doesn't that mean you can pretty much dunk?

 

[Priit]

Dunno, I can dunk with 2 hands but I'm also 197cm tall...

9500 feet. Skydiving RULES!

thats not jumping 4.5foot with my legs straight! Thats a 4.5foot tuck jump so I can get the bottom of my feet that high, but hopefully with me stretching up I can hope to drunk it in.

I'll have to try and dunk it at school sometime so I can see if I can dunk it.

10" sounds high!

 

[Nocturnal]

well i myself cannot jump that high. but damn, let me tell you about this one time i went to this kung-fu expo thing. the guys from like china were there demonstrating. they were all jumping above each others heads and doing kicks above each others heads. i mean these guys were jumping six-seven feet of the ground. i know this sounds unrealistic, but im serious.
