IT’S SCIENCE💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. #Repost @westsidefilm with @make_repost ・・・ This is a 47.1" vertical at 205 lbs. That may sound heavy to some, but the truth is if you want to go high, you need to be heavy enough. There is a common misconception that lighter=faster & higher. The truth is, especially in football, that if you aren't heavy enough, you may be slowing yourself down. Without enough muscle mass, your relative strength will not be enough to break the chains of gravity. As @strongeight says MASS=GAS! When we look at some of the greatest vertical jumps ever measured at the NFL combine, the only athletes to jump over 45" weighed 214 (46.5") and 236 lbs (45.5"). Of the top 25 all time NFL combine jumps, only 4 weighed in under 190 lbs. The tallest of those under 190 lbs was 5'10". No athlete over 6' was under 197 lbs. The heaviest of the top 25 was 246 lbs with a 42.5" vert. 6 of the top 25 weighed 220 or more compared to only 1 under 180. Fast cars have big heavy engines. No one worries about horsepower weighing them down! #westsidevstheworld #westsidebarbell #documentary #powerlifting #football #vertical #jump (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89H8fshFoM/?igshid=1ne14yungg4mr
