Interestingly, CurtiS has been collating a list of combined vertical numbers i.e. standing vert plus running vert. The list is fairly small at the moment. The average figure is around mid to high 60's I believe, so not too bad. There are quite a number of people who have yet to contribute but who supposedly have a best running vert in excess of 40'.
Personally, I am below the average with a last measured SV of 30' and running vert of 32', although current vert is likely to be a little better that that now. It is not good at the moment but I'm still only bringing up my foundation strength to where it was like 15 years ago; I have not really been doing any seriously intense plyometric or RFD work. I started training again about 6 months ago after wasting away at a desk job for 10 or so years. Back in my teenage years, I had around mid-high 30s SV and a 40' RV, maybe a little higher. Basketball was not my main sport though then, but track and rugby were. In terms of training, I know a few things and am happy to help if I can  I'm trying to regain lost athleticism and get in shape for recreational basketball and soccer and it is early days for me still.

Agreed, but you misunderstood my post.
I'm talking about a combined/total figure: standing vert + running vert. I was referring to the arithmetic average of this figure for all the contributors at TVS. If you look in the vertical jump training part of TVS, it's there as a sticky post.
For example, if your standing vert is 24' and running vert is 30', your combined total figure is 54'. Repeat this for the full sample of people and divid by the number of participants to get the average.

Re: Jumping Technique
From what I saw when I looked on the forums, most people had like 23 standing vert and like 27 running vert, so 50, but if the average is mid to high 60's, then that's pretty good and I'd take back what I said.
