His olympic lifts are also very far from what a typical "genetic freak" would have even with poor technique if they had his squat strength.Ah, I see. So much confusion for me as to how people from different backgrounds use words; in a lifting context strength is defined by squatting and power defined by the pulls? In sprinting strength refers almost exclusively to speed endurance; we would say a miler has endurance, a great 400m runner has to have a lot of strength while a 100m runner has power. I guess we are perhaps the most wrong from a physical standpoint.

Yeah Todday I think we are saying the same basic thing, you can have a good structure/proportions for one strength event and not be a "genetic freak" in all power/speed activities across the spectrum. Max squat to max power snatch is a general way in olympic lifting to tell how much on the "speed" end someone generally is. Not always, most the time though, the guys with a smaller difference in the two tend to be the most genetically "gifted" athletes.

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
