    Hopefully someone here will know what i'm talking about. Back at my school, in high school, we had a workout machine that all the basketball players used and everyone back then called it "The Cat". It was similar to doing a squat and working out on this machine would cause you to jump out of the gym. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

    It looks similar to this machine, this is the closest I can find to it:

    We called it the supercat and it was a bad ass way to improve your vertical leap.

    I improved my vertical by getting a pair of Air Force Ones.

    We never had a supercat at my high school. We had to f'ing do tons of plyometrics where we jumped up and down on boxes. Nothing like tearing up your shins when you missed a box.

    Okay, that's it.


    They look exactly identical to me though. Even with the animations on that page.


    Sorry about the multiple posts. Please delete them. Once I get a real job, I swear to God, I'm going to donate some money to that tipjar.
