cool vid.

My lower leg form base of heel to top of calf, measured with a 90 degree knee bend is about 33cm. From base of heel to bottom of calf, hence top of achilles, is 19-20 cm. Heel is 2cm. so my achilles length is about 17-18cm, and achilles + calf = 31cm.

I don't know how that stands with averages, but I definitely don't have extremely high calves like someblack people, but definitely not low calves. They're somewhat high though.

And my one footed jump has a huge knee bend almost like a lunge

But I've seen other black people jump with less knee bend so i don't know. Sch as james white

Yes but the degree of knee bend doesn't all lie on the length of the achilles. There is a myriad of factors that get into play.

cuz i'm being nice. I don't know who harvey is but he is asking a question, and everyone else is being a bitch.
I never said that achilles tendon length has anything to do with knee bend..

I said I have average achilles tendon length (probably), andhuge knee bend. James White, a black dude, with long achilles tendon, does not have much knee bend in 1 footed jump... i didn't make any conclusion I offered my thoughts. happy to repeat everything I said i nthe first post..
