Vert/Speed Training Thread

how convenient. i’m just starting to work out again this week trying to get my vert up and this shows up under top forum action. gonna try to get up to a 40", would be awesome. got nothing to do but lift now anyways.

all i do are one hand lobs.

[quote]The vid you posted of me I was probably 35"-36" off the ground. I don’t have a vid of the 38", just the pic. The “45 inch dunker” can jump but YOU’RE on crack if you think he’s anything above a 38" or so. Not saying that he can’t get higher, but don’t think he is there.

hahahahahahaahhah you think he’s 38" im fucking dying laughing here.

you are the biggest fucking idiot on T-Nation, and that’s a hard title to earn.

[quote]
I’m gonna spend the next 2 months or so trying to get my knees right, but if it doesn’t happen [and if the last 2 years are any indication, it won’t] then I’m just gonna try and get big. And yes, I can still dunk with 2 hands off of a drop step fairly easily. The next day my knee feels better than “SUCK” I’ll post a vid.[/quote]

good luck hope your knees heal up.

man who cares, just let it go. i’m not sure it’s a 45 either, but i would say it’s above 38". what does he supposedly touch with approach? it’s 7’3" standing reach no?

Wow, I just have to comment, whiteflash, you do understand I am 66 inches tall, and you understand that the backboard is 114" right? So lets do some advanced algorithms here and subtract 66" from 114", what is the result- 48". Unless I’m 10" from the backboard, I’m quite a bit above ‘38".’ Also while on the topic of homosexuals, namely you, you’re a flamer, whiteflash’s nickname back on the streets of Philly is titeass…

Go Get It

it’s fun to argue man, especially with guy’s like whiteflash… i like how whiteflash claims his 38" jump on vertec, then somehow diminishes rip’s > 40 jump to match his vertec jump… he’s got like some kind of vert disease where no one can jump better than him, except squatdr who photoshops.

i have no idea what he touches with an approach (he usually does head height jumps) but he’s hit his head on bottom of backboard, easily two hand rim grabs, has done some hard dunks just not on vid, he’s getting about 10" over on the last dunk attempt in the vid, and ya his single arm reach is 7’3.

hey whiteflash, here’s my 35.5" touch vid (i hit 36" the next session)… but i mean, I have a vertec vid, and you have a vertec “picture”, what gives?

do you not see the head height from the bottom of the ‘first stick’… wow bro damn im like 100 inches away from it… you are right… 132" touch - 96.5" reach = 15" vert.

WHERE’S YOUR 38" VERTEC VID? i think you are squatdr’n, prove me wrong, but include your reach in vid too man it’s pretty shady 7’6".

:smiley:

Well can’t say i don’t know what it’s like to argue with people that never make good points. (i.e. every lakers fan)

Gotcha, would be cool to see a vertec for the 45", but it’s still up there regardless. would like to be there one day ha.

I have vids of easy 2 hand dunks at 5’9" and you’re calling me shady? Haha. Ok. Next time I get near a vertec I’ll get someone to take a vid just for you.


1.5 months ago or so, head height test on 8’ rim.

i can post accurate shit all day man, can you? your reach is probably close to 8’ and you’re probably more like 5’11… you have a few nice dunks where you don’t look 5’9, and a vertec pic.

you called me out, i call you out.

yes i’m calling you shady because you’re reach is higher than 7’6… you like to say people inflate, but it’s pretty obvious you are inflating.

link the highest resoluation version of that pic you have.

Your “math” sucks almost as bad as your jokes. If that’s you in the vid youy are nowhere near 4 feet off the ground. You have a vid of 2 missed one hand dunks and a couple of backboard slaps and all of a sudden you’re Hook Mitchell? Get the fuck outta here.

Oh, I didn’t give myself the nickname. Got it playing ball and though it was hysterical that it had to have “White” in front so put it up on here. Also, if my name on the streets of Philly [ seriously, what the fuck?] is titeass wouldn’t that make me not gay? Start practicing jokes as much as dunking and one day you might make both of 'em work.

you claim he touches 10’5 in that video… that makes you completely insane & stupid as fuck… 10’5 wouldnt even be hand over rim… why don’t you pause the video a few times during the slowmo and see how high he’s getting with his arm and how he’s throwing it down, where his hand is etc…

it’s more like 10’10… and the fact that you bring his vert down to 38 is hilarious.

those aren’t even backboard slaps, that’s his reaction to him feeling like he’s going to hit his head on the back board… it’s more of an ‘oh shit’ response. duh.

post a high res pic of your vertec jump, and i’ll show you what his vs yours looks like… he’s much higher than you.

sorry man… i know it hurts your ego for some reason but just let it be.

My now ex took a pic of us standing next to a giant polar bear statue at the Denver zoo where I’m not quite 5’9 1/4" in sandals with my head next to the height marker. Do I need to post that for you? And, I can stick my arm pit in a 8’ rim, what does that prove? Is your head a foot long? You’re chin level or so there. Awesome.

would be cool also… if he lived near me i’d have him officially testing on one, but he has done head height jumps and hit his head on one of those backboards… i fully trust him, he’s never lied… i mean he’s 150 with nearly a 2.5xBW squat, the power is there… for this nutbag to keep saying those jumps are 38" is psychotic.

i agree, i’d love to jump 45 also… got to keep working :smiley:

peace

And for some reason you two retards keep feeling the need to suck eachother off. Bro, with 2 bad knees I will still out jump and out dunk both of you, and I’ve jumped/dunked maybe 12-15 times in the last 3 or so years. I’ll post a lob reverse vid this week and y’all can claim my high 30’s jump is really a 56!!!

i don’t give a fuck about dunking you stupid douchebag… just self lob one handers for height/power.

i’m sticking up for him because he jumps high and you say he doesn’t, end of story… you’re taking a 16 year old’s ~45" RVJ and claiming it’s 38" to not feel so bad on T-Nation.

That pic is the only one I have. The guy that runs the gym I was going to took it. I thought he was taking a vid but it was just several “action” pics.

yeah i feel ya man. it’s just cool to have proof regardless. it ain’t an exact science yet everyone seems to make a big deal if the jump looks an inch off or two.

ima try to get some dunk vids up, couple windmills or reverses i hope. just gotta find a camera.

Hey cake ass: I already said the kid could get up, and I said I believe he’s capable of getting higher than he’s shown. But, you’re talking to someone who’s been around jumping/dunking for a long fucking time.

You can tell me that kid is 45 and he can tell me it’s 48 [by the way, which is it?] and I can laugh and tell you both that y’all don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. I’m gonna go catch some drinks now. Y’all be good.
