Leonel Marshall 50 inch vertical jump - Cuba Volleyball

@@peterbakare how can i improve my vert ???

[@narnianninja4964]

@@theoriginalrudeboy2916 Just start jumping every day. Rest a day when you feel you really need to but otherwise just jump more. Make sure everyday you get warmed up to some degree and put max effort into each jump. My jump went up like two inches in the first 5 days when I started jumping everyday. And your body gets really fast at recovering so you don't have to worry about overtraining

[@trafalgarlaw9449]

Holy crap! he went from standing two feet underneath the top of the net to having both his shoulders above it. thats impressive

[@deewosh4625]

This was 17 years ago Amazing Leonel

[@JScott1266]

The jump and spike at 1:25 is absolutely insane!

I watched this video on repeat hundreds of times in high school back in 2008

[@NewWorldOver]

from 1:09 to 1:11 you see him do a PERFECT prep for a jump. he's moving quick and has his knees bent at a near 90

[@bnop]

He's got so much recoil on his swing he nearly topples over at 1:29. Sicknasty....and Cuba rarely makes it out of prelims...So SICK!!!! YOU ARE SICK I WANT YOUR JERSEY HAHAHA!

[@christopherherr7561]

Jesus. What a beast.

Im almost at a 45 inch vert now and I thought that was insane.

@@randomperson-rn1gg ohh man 😅

[@tysonclarke012]

What did you do to get that much vert?

[@muskiess]

that is incredible. its amazing to see what the human body is capable of

[@ProphLEET]

He's 6'5" and the song is Insomnia by Faithless

[@BA2day]

It took 16 years for this comment to get the recognition it deserves. Thanks!

[@ChrisCSeversonTUBE]

he jumps from the half line and almost runs into the net! awesome!! Cheers, ~Chris

[@xXBrookesVoiceXx]

in order to ensure that he doesn't get a net violation he has to actually jump from the attack line because his approach has so much height and momentum. His height and form when he spikes makes me want to cry its so beautiful

[@kaiyuanzhu]

you are one of the most amazing grass hopper i've ever seen!!! keep it UP UP dude!!!

[@VDubUploads]

Wow, and I thought my 39" vertical was awesome...but hey, I'm 5'10, he's 6'5, so looks pretty impressive when a shorty like me jumps lol. And for landing on one foot, I do that too sometimes....really trying to correct that. Sick hops though, his Backrow attack is insane!

[@CoachB133]

wow that is amazing. id love to see him play basketball. but i think its perfect watching him jump as a volleyball player. that way we get to see him get up almost every play instead of just a few times a game

[@goldnarms435]

He's built like Michael Jordan.

[@yoavbd123]

It is very easy to criticize the fact that it is not really a 50 inch jump. Maybe it isn't, but even if it isn't just look at this video ! He is incredible ! look at his moves, he is superb, best volleyball player I've seen. Give him the credit instead of criticizing ... It's not like any of you can do a 50 inch jump so...

[@poondanat]

Bruh. Hinata

haha the little giant

[@0207xander]

Aside from the fact that he's Cuban, an outside hitter, doesn't hit any of the same sets, is 6'5, and actually knows what he's doing... *yeah it's exactly like Hinata because he plays the same sport*.

[@TheThelazygamerz123]

+0207xander Pretty sure they said it because he jumps high you dumb fuck

[@0207xander]

William Aldred everyone in professional volleyball has a crazy high vertical jump so your argument is invalid

[@akdb6017]

Cubans are great at vertical jumps. Like the high jump legend Sotomayor.

That's like something out of a video game ... unreal!

[@awspeller]

That's nowhere near 50". His head would need to be 2' 7" above the net to reach that feat.

[@braxtenbarnes7473]

Ur dumb

[@naredoiwanaka2621]

Braxten Barnes explain

[@Jesalllll]

Well obviously he won't jump his highest possible on every spike

[@itzSinno]

R u Wilfredo Leon now?

[@EnricoPark]

fly

[@johnngmailcom]

the best jumper in the world officially.

[@venomman]

none of those videos are even remotely close to 50inches

[@hodcor]

he is 6 foot 5 thats why it doesnt look like much also the camera was far away

[@pyrocentury]

I agree. Leonel is 6' 5". Regulation net height is 7' 11 5/8". From the footage, he may be getting only 40" vert at best @1:25(only footage where he is jumping relatively straight up). He has impressive hops, but none of the footage showed him jumping close to 50"

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

FreeBandz Safari his official vertical was if I remember correctly 37 inches

[@icyboy771z]

doesn't mean he cant jump 50 inch

[@joel387ktm]

his waist was at the top of the net for fucks sake what do you want him to just hurdle the whole thing lol

[@NiwdeLagirdam]

i agree, he's a beast, he looks like he's flying

[@MmeDesgranges]

Man that dude can leap! Awesome!

[@superkindelan]

I grew up in Cuba when we had a monstruous team in the 90s, and from what I recall, the guy that always stood out for being the highest jumper in the WORLD at the time was Angel Dennis. That was, at least, what everyone said on the streets. It would be really nice to take a closer look into that.

[@kimock4613]

Era Angel Dennis, saltaba más y tenías más potencia, una bazuca.

[@muadsmasher]

this dude is flying for real

[@beastbuilder]

Good work man! Nice results really. But i think the most insane human being of the last century was and is Earl Manigault. I read that he could get with his waist over the rim and tried to sit there a few times but finally could not make it happen.

[@ridiculous_sublime]

Wow really. Kelly Bagget said when he gained vertical jump and lost game due to not focusing on basketball, the scout actually noticed him because he was making extraordinary plays due to his athleticism. Leonel has serious potential, if he wanted he could dominate in basketball.

[@ครูไก่โต้งฉัตรชัยดอนโคตรจั-ฟ6ช]

Excellent

[@ubergiant]

I can see the Jordanese in him at 1:15. Very inspiring to watch.

[@GranreyAlex]

finally, an alien in volleyball. mind blown

[@michaelsw0rd]

wow holy crap this guy is amazing

[@beastbuilder]

nothing happens without hard work. but i think this just another example of natural talent, gift or genetics. I don´t want to destroy some peoples motivation but you have to born with it. With training u could never jump so high like him.

[@NandD1337]

The God of Volleyball

[@KayC18]

It’s almost like jordan, impressive! maybe just a slight difference because he was born 6’5 but jordan 6’6, or else they both would have the same height reach, both powerful explosive sportsman

[@nickgm313]

OMG! He is awesome!!!

[@TEAM_OTAOLA]

amazing...simply AMAZING!!

[@dandunk76]

daaaaaaamn amazing this guy flies

[@Upsidedownface23]

That man can fly!

[@23flight23]

Leonel is 6'5". The top of his head is 19" from the top of the 8 foot net. So, if he were jumping 50 inches, the top of his head would be 31 inches (2 1/2 feet) above the top of the net. The best view is at 0:43, and he is maybe 20 inches above the net. So, we're not seeing anywhere close to 50 inches, at least in this video. Still phenomenal to watch though, thanks for posting.

[@arodsandiego]

he has such sweet form going up for the attack.

[@Iffy50]

If you look back a bit, I agree with you. This was actually a reply to another guy who said he's not playing opposite *and* he's not back row. I said he's either one or the other. :)

[@mattattack28]

Yes, I know, and it is measured from the bottom of your foot to the ground when your body is extended. When you hurdle, you can lift your legs up so just your butt is above the hurdle. 4'2" from foot to ground - I'm sure he could shave off another 2.5 feet by merely lifting foot up to about butt level, PLUS he has a running start. He's 6'5", his legs are longer than 2.5 feet. I've already thought all that through. Hurdle is always bigger than vertical. I don't make stupid thoughtless comments

[@nani5555]

50 inch running vertical jump? Damn my running vertical is 38-40 inches. If I maybe master my technique and get a little bit stronger on my legs and upper body maybe i can push it to 42 inch? i have no idea. I am 5'9 currently.
