hey craig, thank's for the info. craig i'm 5'9" and weigh 155lbs, like you i work in the trades i'm a painter. Last year i started lifting again and messed around and played some basketball, i felt pretty good so i tried to dunk! After several aborted attemp's once i really tried i was throwin em down! Before i left i was able to get a nice two hander in, so i know i still got hop's. At 155 i'm only 10 pound's over my jumping weight of some 25 years ago so i think all i need is to get in jump shape. Well see, thank's, stay in touch, kerry myers

On the down side now I've been told I have a torn meniscus. I don't know if it's my 25 years of plumbing or the competitions. I would advise a consultation with your doctor or a good physical trainer. I'm also curious as to if you have jumped lately. 2.00 is a lofty goal. Only 2 people have done it at your age. Good liuck. Train well. Craig Levine (M50 HJ possibly retired)
