My vertical leap has plummeted. More so to do with age. In my teens I very badly wanted to dunk. I worked as a Janitor in a hospital during my first two years of college and everyday at work I would do 500 calf raises. I also paid $120 (back in 1990) for some jump sole shoes to increase my vert.
I never did make it. I got so tantalizingly close though..just couldn’t finish.
Cycling makes it worse
