Fitness test results (bf, power, max legpress, vertical, etc...)

[thefreshman]

I decided to take this test from the university, comes free with weightlifting class, normally cost $110.

Results:

Height: 5' 10"

Weight: 147lbs. (started at 133 earlier this semester, have gained 14lbs since eating right and training)

BF: 4.4%!!! (sweet, now I know all the weight is lean mass)

Max legpress: 650lbs (estimated from my 3 reps of 6 plates each side, have done 6 reps before, was a little wore out from treadmill cardio test, fucker kept getting steeper and faster!)

Max bench: 160?!?! (sucks hardcore, I worked chest yesterday and was too sore to do any decent amount of weight, only 135 for 3. Yesterday I did 155 for 4 reps, so I know I can do more than 160 max)

Vertical Jump: 24" (not bad for a whiteboy, would like to get to 30" after further training and plyo)

Flexibility: Hamstrings 158*( decent for guys); lower back was excellent at 6.5cm flexion and 7cm extension

V02 max (lung capacity and strength): 36.31ml/kg/min (really poor, she said its due to my anaerobic training from BMX, and that aerobic training would only hurt me. Said not to worry about it)


resting heart rate: 74

Estimated RMR (kcal/day): 1745

And lastly my most proud stat

POWER: 4666 watts
It was in the average category, but she said she had never seen above the fair category (3700-4149). Pretty cool.



Yes guys I know I'm a skinny fuck, but thats why I train and eat good. I'm going the right direction. Any criticism welcome. This is my baseline (natural of course) that I can look back on in 6 months, a year, whatever.

Just keep working hard and you'll get there. I had a 42" Verticle jump in highschool. hehe. BamBam

Damn!!! Thats insane. Isn't Ray Allen's like 40"? How the hell did you get it so high?

Also just to say this test was different than other vertical test I have done. We had to go down, pause for 2 seconds, then jump. Kinda weird, don't know if it affected anything. Also some test let you take one step.

My verticle is 38 inches
(trying to find a way to dunk only 5'10)
do plyos and lift hard I think I am goint to give those jumpsoles a try my friend used them and his verticle want up 4 inches

Yup my verticle is 39 1/4, to the pol and i used jump soles for a year, vertice went up 7 inches in 3 weeks. squats and leg extensions seem to help as well.

I went through one of the most intense off season football programs in the country for several years. Our program was like a college or pro team. Coaches from around the country would fly in to watch our program. Speed drills, plyometrics and strength training is how I got the good veticle jump. My friend, who I considered a fat ass had I 39 in Vertical. I could jump up and grab the rim of a 10 ft basketball goal with no problem, and I could almost slam one of those little hand sized basketballs. I wish I still had that type of athleticism.

I should add that yes, we could take one step. BamBam

Yall have crazy verticles. I can only dream of that. I wanna be able to dunk, I can sometimes touch the rim.

jenkinz, how the hell can you not dunk at 5'10" and a 38" verticle. We are the same height and I can sometimes touch the rim, I think I could dunk easily with another 14". Just seems odd.

Stonewall, I don't get what you're saying, "to the pol and i used jump soles for a year, vertice went up 7 inches in 3 weeks" That makes absolutely no sense to me. How did you get 7" in 3 weeks?
