I wasn't going to share this out...but, whatever.

I've been adding vertical jumps to my routine to change things up a bit. I hit my limit the other day by doing a 44" vertical jump. No trips to the hospital either.

Troll, comment, blast, rage, whatever makes you happy. Figured I'd share for S&G :)

    Very impressive. I'm taller than you by probably 3-4 inches (based on scale when you stand in front of the step) and just can barely make a 40 inch jump. Good job!!!

    Hah thanks everyone!

    @Kashton2011‌ - I always worry about falling on my face or jumping right into the stack, especially when people walk by and watch haha. Everyone is probably like "What the hell is this AZN dude doing in our yoga room.."

    @amandarunning‌ - yep, insanity was a slight part to why I started doing them. I figured I might as well put those jumps in insanity to use!

    @Packerjohn‌ - When I first started I went in doing 28 inches. And just kept increasing by 2" each time.

    @ninerbuff - thanks! I probably should have listed some stats, but I'm 5'9" on a good day lol.

    Then that would make me shorter than you since I'm 5'7". Video doesn't do your height justice. What's your weight?

    Good job.

    I have a scar on my shin about 1.5" wide and 8" long from missing a vertical jump. Peeled the skin right off. :'(

    Wow. Totally impressed. I started with just the aerobic step itself (shake head...) and am up to the 20" side of the box now. I can't even fathom doing the 24" side, let alone jump on something that meets your eyes. Whoa. Congratulations.

    Well done! :drinker:

    To the point made above, here's what a "formal" vertical jump at that number looks like....

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the replies. It keeps the motivation going, it really does.

    @CarlydogsMom‌ - keep it up, you'll get there in no time :)

    And thanks for the info on the "true vertical jumps". Next time I'll just call it short AZN dude jumping on yoga stair steppers and didn't go to the ER.
