My max vertical was achieved last year with the football win over UL
What is your vertical leap?

Oh yeah, palming the ball, forgot that. 5'7", can palm a bball, not just jr or female ball. Can't/couldn't dunk it, but that matters, not to the point of the question, but to bball and current players. Remember Jordan holding the ball away from defenders, or how his reach and hand size allowed for dunks otherwise not doable.
I'm kinda like Superman, faster than a speeding building and able to leap tall bullets in a single bound.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Mine is good when I step on a snake in the woods. Prob top 5 at the combine.
Not very good right now...about 30 inches. I lost about 5 from when I was 19 and could dunk. That was 40 pounds ago...
It hurts just watching him fallMy Vertical isn't much but my Lateral is pretty good. I've gotta work on the landing though...
I hope this guy had ten mattresses under that wall.
I'm the guy that you have to be able to outrun if a bear is chasing you, no vertical anymore, bad knees from the army days:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Mine was still good until about 25 years ago when I came close to breaking my ankle sliding into what I thought was a break-away base. Since then I've had no spring in my jump and instead of a 40" vertical leap it's now a 72" horizontal lay. I'm only 5'9' but could touch the bottom of the rim when I was in high school.
At 64 the only measurable vertical I have has to be checked from my horizontal position in my recliner.

I found a dollar bill the other day. I got so excited I jumped completely over it. Well, not completely. But I'm 64
Now...heck...I'm old. I'd do well to clear a cabbage plant if I ran across a rattle snake. In my younger years at Mason County, I was 5-08 3/4. Could barely dunk a volley ball on a good day. Whatever that works out to...High 30s?

Standing probably 6-8", running probably 8-12", in the adrenaline of a pickup game probably 14-18".
But even at 47 I can still probably throw a fastball harder than most half my age.

XXXL just wait and show some of UK's football players how it's done brother!............:football: ......couldn't find Barbells.........Great numbers
This was about right, but I have big hands and can palm.
4 months ago I was at 30 at the gym. Lost 50 lbs since than but have not measured probably around 33-34
I'm pretty sure I can out jump anybody on this forum,
but I pulled a hammy putting on my socks today...

My vertical is shot. 14 years of competitive basketball and a couple motorcycle injuries done it in. Can still touch the rim but I'm not getting up any more.
At 6'3" I finally dunked at my friends legal height goal but now many years later it's reduced to a very tiny 1/2" off the only foot I have. It's all good , but how I feel for yesteryears that just go by to Quick!
I don't like to brag, but on a good day, I can get plumb up off the ground.
About 8 inches, but I push the ground in China up about 20 inches when I land.......
In my late 30s now and 6 feet tall - can maybe grab net. Back in my early 20s when I used to work out a lot could barely grab rim - have pretty much always had an awful vertical.
You could slide a worn nickel under my Chucks !!. But hey, I could cut a thousand sticks of tobacco every day. Thats what made my Dad proud.
