I could never understand the double arm swing. The amount of overload I get in the jumping leg is too much to cope with, I would have my leg collapse every time.

Thanks man. The thing with my articles is that they aren't "backed up" by science in the traditional sense. They're just what I learned over time from experience and what I extrapolate through (my) logic. I don't have references to point to etc after I write an article.

So it's more like broscience, but hopefully they do make at least some sense. I think at least they're a different "kind" of writing... I tend to write about stuff that you can't really find anywhere else, about small details that aren't usually discussed etc. That's the way I approach it.

And being an overanalyser, that's easy for me to do.

I can't help but to think that if you're finishing the 100m in 16 seconds... you're really not giving it your all. When I sprint it's pretty much the only time (it also applies in skanderberg, for me) - when I give it my all. Everything I have. It's yet another weird thing about me. Failure in sprinting is not an option. Knowing I didn't give it my absolute best is not an option. It's really hard to explain.

So... 16 seconds sound like an eternity and sound like a submaximal sprint to me.

By the way Today, do you have any suggestion for a good bounding progression to LEARN bounding? I can only do them on the same leg, on my left leg. I can't do them alternating, I totally mess them up... after 1-2 jumps I'm completely out of rhythm. I assume LBSS would have the same issues.

Is there any bounding progression to actually learn how to do them, from easy stuff to more complicated until you end up doing good form alternating bounds?

Nothing, some google bot was viewing your profile on my forum

See, you're a very important member of it!

Hm... so as an useful training means for both athleticism and fat loss, 400m runs would be "the best"?

Haha yeah... those videos of you jumping keep coming into my mind and keep reiterating how much you need this type of stimuli.
