As deep as possible. Mine are at least.... 90 deg is minimum for full rep like squats

And/or With people's 1 rep max's, do a conversion to show how strong they are per body pound (or kg since most of you seem to use metric) I'm a dork and like seeing per body pound strength As a slender person, I support this. | ||

I know my reach is 7'5" above me and I'm 1" from touching the rim on a basketball hoop.... therefore 9'9' (or 119 inches) minus 7'5" (or 89") = 30" vertical | ||

I meant that below the leaderboard of overall weight lifted, we then have a leaderboard for x of bodyweight. Like a 155 lb guy benching 245 would have a score of 1.69 x bodyweight which is pretty good. And for the running ones, can we put the best we've ran in our lives, or do they need to be current? Cause I'm not in wrestling shape anymore hahaha | ||

My reach is about 8'2 inches with one hand (just a bit taller than the average ceiling) or just under 8' with both hands. I can get my whole hand inside the rim on a dunk pretty easily. My hand is about 8 inches long. So without doing a "true" vertical test, I suppose we could call my jump (120' + 8' - 98') = 30 inches as well? That doesn't seem right, there is no way I should be jumping as high as Eshlow. I guess I'll actually test it over winter break or something. | ||

Cause I'm not in wrestling shape anymore hahaha That said, in powerlifting they use wilks formula to compare lifters of different classes because it is easier for us small fellows to be stronger x bodyweight. Please add new PR: BP 115kg x 1 :D (75kg) Quote myself just to upload vid. Hopefully u update soon. | ||

Maybe whoever is the fastest right now can just bring the brag to the running thread. | ||

70kg Deadlift. 45kg bench 65kg squat 5:40 mile. Good god weight training is good for mile times. | ||

Assuming your an endurance fiber oriented guy more speed makes it easier to run a faster time with less endurance. For instance, a guy with 50 second speed doesn't need anywhere near the strength that a guy with 65 second speed would need to run sub 5. As a general rule of thumb a person that isn't an extremely sprinter type can run a mile in laps of roughly 400m speed + 8-10 seconds. So a guy with 55 speed is going to have a hard time going much faster than 4:10 or so; any faster and it just becomes too maximal of endurance and becomes significantly more difficult to run relaxed. Weight training depending on how you approach it should allow you to improve you raw speed and thus your quarter speed. More quarter speed = better mile time. Obviously the one caveat to weight training is that if your doing weight training at the expense of running that's generally not going to be worth it. | ||

I would assume Eshlow did the same, because that's usually how verticals are measured. | ||
