I'm done with the NBA Combine vertical test

[Malta]

low camera angle from the distance is creating a bit of an illusion. And the dude standing next to him is short. He got up in that pic but not as high as it looks. Footage and pix from vertical test in NFL are from more neutral positions. Sit in a chair and watch someone dunk, youll see what im describing.

Or.....the kid has SPRINGS -

 

[NatiboyB]

nope. D-Wade's standing vert was 31.5". max vert 35.0". DraftExpressProfile: Dwyane Wade, Stats, Comparisons, and Outlook

hence the reason i don't believe this shyt no more.

there's no way that fat cac could jump higher than Wade. no way.

Damn man he is an athlete Breh lol

That's not a vertical, you're supposed to jump off 2 feet.

 

[The Jewnited States]

because google images some nerd put together says he doesnt look that way ?


Hes been measured by numerous teams, try outs and currently works in a gym we can measure our body fat % whenever..

and unless you get measured under water you'll never know your 100% true body fat % anyway but with other measurements you can come close.

it looks like you are basing your information on that horrible chart above.. I can find a chart right now that says any one 5'8 and over 140 lbs is obese.. does that mean its accurate ?

chart is a general guideline. i've read up on nutrition and and body fat shyt a LOT in the past. it is NOT easy to be 5 percent bf without ridiculous genetics and supplements and training. did he get tested in water or with calipers? unless its in water i don't trust it.

dion jordan was supposedly 3.8 percent. but i cant find info on how he was tested.

 

[TommyHilltrigga]

thats cause elite body builders are usually on steriods and be cut as fukk but at 12-14% body fat... cause they body is practically fake at that point (hard for me to describe it.. thats just the best way I can put it)

athletes can easily (I shouldnt say easily but especially running backs/dbs/lbs/track athletes) get around 5% body fat..

Soccer Players too...i played D-1 and most nikkaz were in the 6-10% range...but 6 of the dudes on the squad were 4-5%

If your naturally slim and work out religiously it's not hard. I've seen people of all shapes and sizes. I used to work in a gym and my dad is a strength and conditioning coach. Ive been around this shyt my whole life and I've seen motherfukkers who you'd swear look like they have a gut but are at 9-10% body fat.

From what I've seen I'd say that most players at positions like RB or WR in the league are between 5-8%. It's just the type of shape you've got to be in to succeed at that level.

bruh fukk nutrition

fukk a diet too

just stay away from sodas mostly and dont OD on cookies or donuts every day and shyt

just go put in work

better find some hills to run or hit them incline sprint intervals

your first mistake is doing too much reading

working out aint about reading

its about working out

You also have to look at Wade's reach. His wingspan is crazy making it look like his vert should be in the 40s

Ma & Pa already blessed a nikka with a natural physique, but I'm ready to take it to the next level.I have a high metabolism, so it's hard for me to gain weight.At 6'3, I've always been between 178-185 pounds my whole life.I was 178 in August of last year.Decided to do some dirty bulking just to see if I could get my "man weight" up...after 10 months of pigging out, I was able to put on 27 pounds.I'm 205 right now.

So you're saying you don't have to be all strict with your diet? Just as long as you put in the work? I like the sounds of that.As of right now, all I do is push ups & sit ups.No cardio.

I'm probably at about 16% body fat, but I'd like to get down to about 9-10%, and be ripped.

What would you suggest I do to lower my body fat and get ripped while at the same time maintaining my 200 pound weight?

Nutrition and Body Composition

My friend was a trainer for the Bills and the Bears and runs his own facility now. That's his site.

 

[Hahahaha]

Some hilarious broscience in this thread

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

lol this is obvious bruh, im saying that he don't look 5 percent. more like 7-8 percent.

yeah he looks between 7-8% to me too...in a sport like football, being 5% body fat would likely hinder your performance....its not easy to keep your body fat that low.....4-5% are body fat percentages of Olympic endurance runners..and doctors recommend those levels as the lowest

a body fat percentage that low, can actually kill you...5% is damn near Auschwitz status.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT DUDES HAVE TRAINERS THAT GET THEIR VERTS READY FOR THIS DAY...

THEY USE ALL TYPES OF TRICKS TO GET THEIR VERTS TEMPORARILY HIGHER.

nikkaS GO BACK TO THEIR VERTS WHEN THEY GET ON THE COURT...

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE NUMBERS
COMBINED WITH THE ON COURT ACTION
AND TELL WHO GOT THEIR VERT UP JUST FOR THE COMBINE
AND WHO REALLY HAS A SICK VERT.

THEY WERENT USING THESE TRICKS BACK IN THE DAY...
shyt IS MISLEADING NOW.



​

It's just like the 40, dudes are specifically training to do this shyt...a lot of dudes are running times they'll never re-create on the field
