guy just did 39 reps at 225 at combine

Willie Bee · 02-21-09, 05:24 PM

This Willie is going to try 6-7 reps at 12 ozs each this evening, doing the first one now.

MilfDriller · 02-21-09, 05:31 PM

Human athletic performance will be out of this world in 30 years....

On ESPN they had a guy who is going to the combine and he has a 39 inch vertical at 350 lbs.

That is insane

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 05:32 PM

lot of big big olympic and powerlifter dudes have high verts like that...

when you can squat 850 for reps, you can push that 300 lb body up pretty far I guess..

MilfDriller · 02-21-09, 05:35 PM

I don't know if that's true, Archie. I'd have to see it to believe it.

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 05:43 PM

I remember one of the better olympic lifters for the USA was mark henry, then he fuked up and went into wwf wrestling.. he had a 30+ vert and could dunk... he was like 350-400 lbs

what is all that all about?

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 05:45 PM

these guys must be juicing
i dont see how any human can do 40x 225
its hard as **** doing 20 reps of 135, seriously, try doing 3 sets of just 135 x 20

Bluehorseshoe · 02-21-09, 05:49 PM

Somebody is getting a ticket to the "Gun Show".

3PtShooter · 02-21-09, 05:49 PM

RUMOR has it a player jumped out of a swiming pool in 3ft of water to show off his verticle leap. any help on this would be great

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 05:50 PM

its all over youtube
google it
ive seen it , didnt impress me, not sure what the big deal is

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 05:51 PM

if you juice a whole lot.... you can do do 225x75 like ronnie coleman once did

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 05:53 PM

dont knoe if this is the one but damn.
Ryan do you have any idea how hard that would be

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 05:54 PM

i couldnt do it, but that doesnt make it hard
what am i missing

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 05:58 PM

the weight of the water working agaisnt him

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 05:58 PM

that is pretty impressive

3PtShooter · 02-21-09, 05:59 PM

Thanks ,,sounded harder than it looked,,,but still pretty impressive

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 06:00 PM

doesnt look hard but damn, next time your in a pool try it.
I bet you cant get your ankles out of the water

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:01 PM

I bet this guy could do it...

actually maybe, not... he's too short, that would work against him in a pool

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 06:01 PM

thats probably true
but im not a pro athlete either
i will try that, maybe it is ****ing hard
i dunno, just didnt seem as hard as benching 225 x39, maybe bc i bench 2x a week but swim like once a yr

ill try it, i predict i can get my ankles out of the water as long as the pool is less than 3 feet deep
how deep was his pool?

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:04 PM

he not only got out of the water, but had time to curl his legs up....get up over the lip in height and over in length.....

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:06 PM

this isn't as impressive to me.....

Archi, I went and played bball this morning for the first time in about 8 years except for just shooting around.
boy, do I hurt now...
tommorrow I probally wont be able to get out of bed

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:10 PM

lol... old man weekend warrior sore-ness gotta love it

I think that dude is 5'10 actually... supposed to have a 56 inch vert

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 06:15 PM

ive never squatted in my life. i cant htink of anything worse for your body , long term
just lift and jog is all i have done for 15 years, and play baseball and basketball. i have never tried jumping out of a pool, i would think its impossible unless the h20 level is low

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:19 PM

squat jumps would be worse for the body..... lol

I've done them too...

I've been squatting for gosh... 18-19 years... never had a problem

now benching... there is a dangerous exercise

3PtShooter · 02-21-09, 06:20 PM

what was david thompsons (nc st) vert leap kid reminds me somewht of him

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 06:20 PM

the pool was 3' I think. common dept for shallow end.
I know theres no way in hell I could do it, not even back when I did have a decent vertical

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 06:20 PM

how mcuha re you squatting arhchie? i doubt 500. and what happens to your joints when you hit 40+

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 06:23 PM

I never squatted when I was lifting. I avoided squats like the plague. hate them
it hurts me just to squat without weights

Chi_archie · 02-21-09, 06:24 PM

best was 545x8 but those were only to parallal.... last summer I got up to 335 x10 for 5 sets of ATG squats (ass to the ground)

when it comes to joints, running can be much much worse for your knees.. the amount of impact on each step is unreal

benching IMO is much worse on joints long term too.... not to mention maybe the most dangerous exercise to do period... especially for such an over-rated exercise

ryanXL977 · 02-21-09, 06:29 PM

i dont really do bench anymore, i will use machines that simulate it is what i should have said. i did bench from age 17 thru like 23 though. i dont think its dangerous, unless you mean without a spotter?
what is the reason to squat? wont it just wreck your knees and back? especially ATG as you mentioned?

mmike032 · 02-21-09, 06:34 PM

haha, the machines with the rubber bands
I could bench about 300 on them when I was in high school
