How is vertical measured? And why do I need to know how far your knee to foot is?

What's a good verticle for our age and size?

No idea, average college football players is 30-32.

because you jumped 36 inches, while bending your knees... I was just saying in highschool... My feet would be 29 inches off the ground.... Without bending my knees.... So my knees would only have to be 7 inches to make a 36 platform jump

I'm getting confused. Doesn't take much. Let me look this up.
 
Okay, first you have to measure your standing reach, then you jump as high as possible. You take the difference in the two and that is your verticle leap. Bending your knees has nothing to do with it.
 
Can't let life get too boring. A couple of days ago, I climbed a 20 foot tower that holds the lights at the railroad tracks. It was swaying so much and then the train came roaring by. It was crazy as hell.

Wait a minute. We've established your jumping prowess, but you can also scale very tall objects?!?!

Who are you?

Jumping without bending your knees is mighty impressive. I think the previous world record was 3 inches.
 
What I'm trying to say is this,

If I was trying to jump on a 36 inch counter, I know I could because my vertical(without bending my knees) is 29.

36-29=7.... I would need to get up 7 inches more.....

Therefore knowing my knee to foot is longer than 7 inches, I know if I bend them completely I will be able to accomplish this feat.
