How heavy is that weight?

[delmole85]

@jimbobjones79 The weight varies from athlete to athlete, the record is over 225 (about 80lbs over body weight or so)

@delmole85 Pretty impressive! Keep it up guys!

@delmole85 225 is the record Among both male and female athletes or just female athletes?

[delmole85]

@Truejusticevoice That is the record for females on this particular women's team. There are lots of women out there who could do a lot more, but not very many who play softball

@delmole85 I was tempted to delete my question after i entered your channel and saw your heavy ass front squat, but thank you anywaY. 225 (front squat) ? Sounds heavy, parrallel, ass to the grass, half squat? Is the 225 squatter in the video by the way? Thank you buddy.

@Truejusticevoice The 225 happened last year. It was below parallel by a 150lb girl

[Truejusticevoice]

@delmole85 Well, i bet she had a huge vertical leap then, do you calculate your athletes standing long jump, vertical jump and box jump performances? Just curious.

[delmole85]

@Truejusticevoice I believe she was right at 25 inches for a vertical. We actually test them correctly though so its hard to compare vertical numbers to different people. I don't do standing long jump because i cant trust people not to hurt themselves by landing with a very bent knee.

@delmole85 Well this is awesome for a girl, especially a softball player, we areN't talking about volleyball, basketball and track and field where vertical is a critical factor. Yeah standing long jump isn't 100% safe especially for girls. Well, what bout you? What's your vertical jump, i know you're a pretty big guy just wondering about how high you can lift your body up. Nice 440 POUND front squat man!
