Introduce Yourself / Hey Guys
« on: December 03, 2010, 07:07:48 am »
Hey guys, my names Clinton and im a 22 year old from Perth WA. Came across this site as im very much into my basketball, lifting, vertical jump training, as well as health and nutrition.
A little about myself, I have been playing ball for about the past 5 years, and it has just been in the past year that I have dedicated myself to training hard on a daily basis for it. I have also been interested in increasing my vertical jump and have trained that for the past 2 years roughly (im not too sure when i started), and i will give a shoutout to VJB and Vert Mastery as the two programs that I have found help me suceed in increasing my vertical.
I would average training for basketball close to 20hrs a week. Im very focussed and determined to be the best I can be, and im looking at trying out for one of the local rep teams when i fly back to perth (im currently in the goldcoast).
When it comes to basketball and vertical jump training and all aspects of the sport and jump training in general i try and engage myself in as much knowlege as possible. I have also decided that starting next year I will be going back to university (i already have a degree in human resources and management) to start a degree in health sciences, to get me on the way to becoming a dietitian and then sports and conditioning coach, as well as get my hands dirty in some personal training, as well as writing my own articles about athletic performance.
Now for the important thing my stats;
Before i started vertical training i was barely grazing the rim once in 20 jumps off one foot jump. No where close off two feet. Currently:
Height: 6'0
Weight: 178 pounds
Bodyfat: Never Tested but well below 10%
Standing Vertical: Roughly 28inches while recovering from ankle injuries. Currently on deload after finishing program will test end of week.
Running Vertical (2 foot): Last test 34 Inches (during injury plus heavy training). Will test after deload
Running Vert (1 foot): Last test 31 Inches. Test after deload.
Squat: Currently 4reps of 130kg (286 Pounds)
Deadlift: Currently 4reps of 160kg no straps (352 pounds) with straps roughly 4 reps 175kg
Clean: 3reps 70kg
Happy to be a part of the family here and you will all start hearing from me soon!!!
