Re: Which one is hardest?
[ QUOTE ]
I would guess the 36" vertical would be the most difficult for most people. With years of strength training most people can build up to very high levels, but with vertical jump there are physical limits to most people based on how high their calf muscles are set and how many fast twitch fibers their muscles can recruit. It might not seem so if you read the NFL Combine results, but I believe 36" is close to world class and well beyond the limits of most people. It's like the equivalent of running a sub 10.5 second 100m.

While what you say is somewhat true. A 2.5x BW squat is pretty world class and the two are very closely related. I doubt there may be anyone on the planet who can squat 1000 and not hop 30 inches. Even those 350+ behemoths.
