Vertical Leap

I've been working on my vertical leap with box jumps. I'm up to 42" and my workout buddy is up to 46" - for a single leap. We're both about 6' tall and around 200 lbs (me) and 185 lbs (him).

Our jumps are pretty good, for us. But not compared to these guys. Our jumps are most like this first guy, no steps. I'm thinking the guy jumping out of the pool is pretty impressive, although there are a couple of videos of other people doing it, including a skinny swimmer.

Mike Guadango adds an inch to his record setting box jump with this 55" attempt.
