Simply amazing!

Not overly impressed.

The bar was only 5'6" high. I can clear that (yes, serious) and I know a couple other guys who could as well.

EDIT: That hurdles guy was VERY IMPRESSIVE. THAT takes some fucking skill.

Lol, then you are not impressed by yourself? Let's see a video of you doing it. You may be able to, but I have my doubts.

Hurdles were extremely impressive but so was the first guy.

Don't make claims you can't back up. Post a video/pic of you doing it (or the couple of other guys you know as well).

Thats not a vert dummie- Vert is how many inches you can jump up, not how high your ass can get

Agreed.

bullshit - you can not so that jump. That guy looks to be 7 foot tall and a great athletic shape.

Just watched it again and yeah, i'm impressed. The crazy part of that video is that it's not a high jump bar, it's attached...if he misses he wrecks his face

I just put a tape measure to 66" and it's a little intimidating

. I could probably jump onto something that height, but not clear it running like that guy did. I still stand by my statement that I've known guys who could clear that. A couple guys I used to play basketball with could fucking fly.

Maybe i'll give it a shot with some string or a rope or something that won't fuck me up if I fail.

edit: the hurdler is still more impressive. And yeah the black guy looks athletic but i'd say he's like 6'2", not 7' tall.

A good vertical is having good hams, abs, quick feet, and calf strength. I say having good hams is the most important. I have been doing jump squats for many years and they help. Shuttle run is also good. Box Jumps and weighted jump rope is good too. I use the low boxes to work on quick feet. Wall squats feel like hell but helps a lot. I usually do 2 leg workouts a week. At the end of my second leg workout I do these in my routine

I would hope that the "hurdler" is more impressive.

It's the best high jumper in world for last 5 years - Stefan Holm.

I will give it to you, that was impressive only because my big ass can not do it. I do have it beat though, I saw a guy at the XFL combine in 2000 at Northern Texas U. in Denton do 14 feet 2 inches. They made us stand flat footed, no one step nothing, and jump straight the fuck up. This mother was a wide rec. and was like 6-3. This is the measurement that has the pegs where your hands touch, so it is a real vertical leap. It was probably in the top five of the most athletic things I have ever witnessed. Besides that he made the rest of us in the group look bad, stupid guy....

Its nice to see that someone here knows what a vertical test really looks like, however 14' 2" sounds a little bit high! Lets say at 6'3" he could reach up to 9 ft, that would mean his vertical jump would be 62". NO WAY. The best jump at the NBA combine this year was 39.5", I doubt he beat that by 22.5"

This was NOT anything close to a true standing vertical jump. That would be when you stand and with one leg staying put you jump and reach as high as you can. Having said that, the first guy that just hurdled it is pretty impressive. I wonder what his 40 yd dash time is?

Wis, If I had not seen it with my own two eyes, I would call bullshit as well, soI don't blame you. I will tell you what though, it is pretty easy to solve. I don't have the time or patience but look up Steve Austin's, not the fucking wrestler, email address and ask him. This shit is all public record. He is the one that runs all the NFL walk on combines and he did that year for the XFL as well, he will have record of all of it. Just tell him in the email that it was at N. Texas U. for the XFL. BTW, I was only guessing at the guys height so I have no idea what his stretched out reach was.

wisconsinBB · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2007, 12:24:43 PM »

Well, the best vertical jump for this years NFL combine was 41 1/2 inches according to their website. I seriosly doubt someone beat that by 20 inches.
