Nice number. The more bodyweight you have the more leg power you wil need to jump the same distance, so if you lower your % body fat you should jump further.
I hate how the official broad jump measures from toes to heels. Not fair for people with different sized feet. It should be measured from heel to heel.
The beauty of training is you can set the standards of how you want to test. If you prefer heel to heel, make that your test protocal. Th bottom line is "are you improving?" If so, your training program is effective.
I'm 16 years old, 6' tall, 200 lbs, and a powerlifter. Just for kicks I did an 85' on standing broad jump. How is that? Please comment back I know 85' is nothing but for my size and build I'm curious to see what people think. Again, it was for fun. I'm not a jumper.
@TheOriginalBigO not a bad number to start, I give my athletes a goal of 100" or more. Work towards improving. The broad jump is a simple measure of leg power, so as a power lifter it is a good way to see if you are getting more powerful as your training progresses. Happy training!
@loosey5, body weight isnt the factor. It's percent body fat. Muscle weighs more than fat does. So, the less fat percentage, and more muscle percentage you have, the better jump you will have. Me, i jumped 102 inches my farthest, I weigh 102 pounds and im 5'2". My friend josh is ~6' tall, and weighs ~180. He got 94 inches. So overall weight isnt as much of a factor as body composition.
Wow Awesome! I can only do 1.90 metres. Well obviously, because i'm only 8 years old, DUH!

@tcambio17 How much does bodyweight play a factor in the broad jump, because I just jumped 257cm in two tries and never was an athletic standout.
