[404Lulz]

Cooooool

[shruikan11]

now, thats what I call hops.

[FBI5150]

thats crazy!!!! shit he could probably jump right over my head haha

[AmazinggKennedy]

white boy can jump

[haystack1234]

who ever said a white man couldn't jump

[mra2z]

BooooM there it is!!!

[itchittyitch]

Excellent jump. Dangerous though right in front of the dumbbell rack.

What gym is that, and where?

[ObeyBen]

DeFrancos

[80Shockey]

Pretty sure its at DFrancos Gym in Jersey. ive been there a couple of times, insane atmosphere

[berred4]

whoa... he got up

[n9yne]

Every time I do a box jump, I get a painful kick in my mid-back. How do I keep that from happenin?

[getmassiive]

Don't do box jumps.

[makk333]

u might wanna start stretching your back muscles before u jump

[fangmama63]

land under control use your core to land.. dint slam on the box basically land light as a feather

[Burhan243]

dude let me see you jump that high than say that...

[flamesc76]

The best gym in the country hands down

[TrainingCentral09]

thats carzy. nice work!

[mustangfootballrl]

sick

[xMSUBULLDAWGx]

does this mean 54 inch vertical?

[bhulk]

No.

[turdrhinofiend]

not quite, leg tuck etc. Still very good obviously

[ytubeserb]

No, it means 54 inches box jump.

[PetrucciFan57]

If you focus on his waist as he jumps you'll see that his waist comes up to about 6-8" over where his head started. That vertical distance looks to be around mid-abdomen if you shift it down so it starts at his heels. If he's just under 6' (which it looks like), you could expect that his standing vert would be in the mid to upper 30s at least, maybe around 40". Quite impressive stuff.

[C2K510]

not bad man ...keep it up

[Quigss92]

he is the asshole.

[depndragon]

what the fuck, jealous bitches, i'd like to see you do that

[aconiton]

wow what a jump!!!

[enomai76]

that was fucking retarded

[Ladon68]

uh?

[gmlch]

chapeau!  amazing....

[widd1ng]

People why do you care more about the dumbells than the jump? The jump is sick and he didnt get injured so why is everybody acting like Dr. Safe when nothing even happend?

[SovalDeus]

I like how you clowns think he got up to that level without learning how to bail. That is, if bailing was even necessary on a vertical jump.

If you don't stick it, the worst thing that happens is you push yourself back a little and land on your feet. He had plenty of clearance.

[lifesucks963]

I assume if you box jump that much you must have tried some and failed before, what happens when you don't get the height?

[jabroni359]

DAMN, DUDE GOT SOME HOPS

[scorpioblack06]

Impressive jump but really stupid to have a dumb bell rack behind. If he had missed it and fallen backwards it would have been some serious injury.

[dynastyISlife]

wat if that nigga would of fell and bust his ass lmao i would of liked to see that

[king587711]

seriously if he missed he coulda ate it and got real messed up

[SHITBAGS69]

guys a fucking monkey

[TheFallx]

LOL yah true

[nowakadrian7]

yo thats smart to have the dumbell rack right behind him

[twisisyummy]

LOL thats so true, now i wish that he never made the jump

[ttate20]

very impressive

[UnderstandingAll]

nice

[power509]

pretty fly for a short guy...

[carlyivangarcia]

nice.

[collinsm91789]

mikeys a nut. i remember in the hs weightroom he would do pullups with a kid on his back

[cyanidechrist]

very impressive. no room for error there. if failed he would have fucked himself up big time near those dumbbell racks.

[tplaws101]

Good Job dude...even u freaked urself out!!!

[88Gplaya]

FAG I DO 80

[stevespates]

that's unreal!!! dude your good

[SoccerFreak7275]

Nice

[dawsonmj]

impressive!

[Musk1e]

Nice!!!. You have very good hip flexibility. The landing shows this.

[KungPaoBubba]

woah

[Squattilupuke]

holy shit..... u da man...

[Baku6000]

wow lets see u do that again without the wings on ur back. Good job nice jump

[jobby67]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jobby67]

GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skedarking85]

whoa! what kind of training is this guy doing? I'm imaging him leaping around the room with a barbell on his back.

[bubba5134512345]

tiiight

[hackskii]

I think he had wings, yah, that is it I saw a set of wings.......lol

WOW.

[rundat]

that's damn impressive props yo.

[QUEENZPYT]

HOLLA... THAT WAS HOT!!!

[KAZNCO]

Must be the chicken parm......Ciro your retarded.

[boxsterandwelby]

everyone is only concerned with the number. people don't compare the running start or one/two leg take off. This is a real vert jump standing still vertical jump. And it doesn't even matter what the number is it is impresive.

[JessicaE44]

Tight!!!!

[235RB]

There called plyometrics they teach a person to display explosive strength, like this kid here.

[dynasp0rt]

What happens if he misses the box jump? Look behind him. Do the math.

[enigma562]

You're right.

[crybabybunting]

impressive

[ryanpeterson75]

if im lookin at this video right, 5' is 60" this guy might have about 10" on that box, that means this little ass dude who has to be around 5'4" to maybe 5'7" at the tallest is jumpin that high, thats fuckin nuts

[TrackSports]

who the hell is dumb enough to jump 54 inches with dumbells behind there head. literally do or die. umbass. but hes got hops none the less

[dumbass666]

thats was pretty fucking high

[teamlipscombe]

thank you... someone does a standing jump... all this running starts and vert claims.. nice work brother!

[LardMonkey6]

GOOD!!!

[wisdometernal]

That's hardcore.I guess the dumbells behind him were motivation to make the jump!

[leathalmilk]

stupid but a nice jump and also a nice reaction

[Rokynutz]

does anybody else see the "Dumb-bells" right behind him? but a very nice jump.

[bazoulay]

stupid place but nice jump

[JessicaE44]

NICE!!!!

[jobby67]

Nice!!!

[jobby67]

NICE!!!!

[badbatzmaru]

OM fuckin god. But yeah...if he slipped and fell backward and smashed his head, that would be also one fucking amazing jump.

[jobby67]

NICE~!!!

[Vatos75]

I was thinking the same thing.

[findusfunk]

Fuckin amazing jump, but fuckin retarded too - see the rack of dumbells behind waiting to give you brain damage?

[elmonoborracho]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Fucking amazing yet retarded!

[fwsm]

This guy is training under Joe Defranco. He could very well be the best trainer for almost all sports.

[toddadonis]

Quite simply the second best box jump ive ever seen, behind Adrian Wilson's 66 inch jump. You didnt have the three step advantage he had though. Mix this with some Godsmack or Disturbed and you have yourself one hell of a motivational plyo video. Keep puttin shit on here and remember, if you never fall, your not trying hard enough! Good luck!

[shadowmoses82]

That's some crazy ass shit! Respect.

[mdonfield]

Great jump. A thanks to the guy who runs the Clublife blog for linking to this.

[532soldier]

That is some nerve-wracking shit. Good work!
