To be honest, my vert is not near what it used to be, because I haven't been playing or triaining much over the past couple of years. However, I can still throw down some nice stuff occasionally when I play pick-up. I was a combo guard when I played and probably had around a 34-35 inch vert at its best. As a 6'5" guy with long arms, a 34-35 inch vertical translated into some good dunks. My goal over the next few months, because I don't start med school classes again until Jan 22nd, is to play a lot of ball and get my jumping back to what it was or even higher. I never really followed any specific jump training when I was playing competitively, but I did lift and play all the time. Right now, I'm considering purchasing a vertical jump program, but I'll have to do some research on what's best for me. My area of study in college was Exercise Science/Kinesiology and Biology; and now I currently am a medical student, so my science knowledge will help me to see what programs are legit, and what programs are a rip-off.
