^^^Either I wrote that wrong or I didn't add some :) to it, but I meant it in a good way. Not offended at all I feel more embarrassed for messing up my reach stats :uhhhfacepalm:.I appreciate everyone's help! Feel free to give me advice/ criticism whenever I make a mistake. I'm here to listen and follow everyone's advice.
THANKS GUYS!!!! :D

I'll start a journal on Sunday or Monday.

Eh, you're getting closer to the truth. Did you really really extended your hand, like really pulling the arm out of the scapula/shoulder socket? (not literally, but you get the idea)

I guess you'd be good to fool NFL reach measurements though :P

No I didn't do it the way you describe it. You described it much better from what I read yesterday. So after doing it that way(really extending my hand) I got a measurement of 101". THANKS RAPTOR.

Oh no, I'm not trying to fool anyone. I already said I made a mistake in the above post. I joined here to learn and get advice. Everybody questioned my reach so I remeasured it to give more accurate stats. You guys were right I was wrong.

2.46 m reach at 6'5 is pretty much impossible. I don't believe it. I reach 2.41m with shoes on and I'm 6'0.

You're saying he reaches 2 inches higher than me?

It can't be.

With everybody's comments I did my reach measurement again. After searching it turns out I was not doing it properly.

When I did it last week I put chalk on my hand and just put my arm straight up, 97".
Yesterday when I did it again I put my body flat against a wall and reached :uhhhfacepalm: this time, 99".

Sorry guys :(

Thanks VAG!

I struggled with my weight the last few years, going from 300+ the last 2 years.

My recent progress was from 301 to 250 this year. I gained a few pounds back.

Yes I'm currently training. I plan on starting a journal later today with all my lifts.

Just joined this site recently after lurking around for awhile.

I'm looking to increase my vertical so i can be able to dunk again. Last time I dunked (or from what I can remember) was when I was 22. So it's been about 15 years. I have tried a few times in the past to dunk again but something always stopped me. Going to give it my all this time for the next 12 weeks.

TRAINING:
Bill Starr's 5x5: MWF
VJB: TT
Let me know what you guys think.

STATS:
AGE: 37
HEIGHT: 6'5"
WEIGHT: 263
STANDING REACH: 97"
Now time for the  :uhhhfacepalm: part
STANDING VERTICAL JUMP: 16"
3 STEP JUMP: 19"
RUNNING VERTICAL: 22"
Lots of work to do!
