according to that pic with the ruler, it looks like you were getting mid 30's probably or even higher unless i'm looking at it wrnog.  You supposed to look at the lowest point of the feet or highest?

bw 158, got 10 hours sleep from 12:30am to 10:30am, felt good

basketball court stuff:
- dribbling/jumping/lots of jumpers
- got up nice on a few dunk attempts, rim was like 9'11 bent down about 1", i made one on it

workout stuff:
- incline pushups
- jump rope intervals (4 x 2 min)
- single leg rfi , 30 each side, lat and lin
- double leg tuck jumps: 30 (TRAPS CRAMPED SO HARD DURING THESE)


tonight will be pullups and stuff.


based on heels this is probably ~32", based on hand it'd be higher but rim is bent down 1 inch or so.. this was my highest jump of the day, everything else was 1-2" lower:





here's an old image i used to use to look at how high my feet were, based on comparison pics:








peace

k, yea i agree then maybe 32-34

well, those measurements would be, if my legs were locked out in the air + flat footed, so no not really counting the lowest part of foot because that's with my ankle plantar flexed.. somewhere up near the start of the bottom of the heel..

to me it looks around 32 based on the pic compared to my leg measurement, though I did feel like I was really getting up good..

peace man

I never trusted the heels elevation method , it is always wrong , and when its right , its just coincidence, when the legs happened to have the correct angle in the air to make it the same with the ground pic.
Rim touch point is sooo much more reliable imo.
This one looks like 31,5'' to me.
Rim touch looks like 1,5'' below wrist , so 9,5'' above , so if the rim is 9'11'' its a 10' 8,5'' touch.
But if the rim is 9'11 1/2''  , then its 32''

dam, that looks high as fuck. I wonder how beast my 33 inch jump would look

thanks..




ill be out until tonight.. going to get some philly cheese steaks.




afternoon workout:

2 hours of basketball:
- jumping real good, very fast, one of the fastest people on the court wtf.. good competition too
- first game was to 11 win by 2, fucking game went to 26-24, had around 10 points.. word

- some kid with INSANE hops tried to dunk on me, on a fast break, this kid probably was around 38 or so at 6'2, anyway i jumped as high as i could and stuffed his dunked on the way down so he sprited, was a pretty nice play on both parts, just glad i didnt get bammed on..

- in between games i did real light drop step jumps hitting ~10'4 or so

- in total, 5 full courts on an nba length full court, legs r dead.



peace

check out your PM kid

hey darq, have u seen the "35 rep squat fighter" vid on t-nation homepage, that motivated me like crazy......

nope ill check it..

ya i am, are you referring the guy that tried to dunk on me? if so, you misread, he was 6'2

38 at 6'8 is damn nuts though for sure, nearing lebron status.

i read somewhere that lebron's running vert was 44" {on hoopsvibe}, ifso that be damn close to 13' touch...........
