How about 16,5 seconds 100m at 89? He would smoke half ( if not more ) the forum members!!!

I ran quicker than that when I was 9...

Just play basketball and keep eating relatively clean. Do whatever your body responds well to. If that's playing basketball than play basketball. As long as you eat pretty clean and exercise than you'll lose fat without having to worry about excessive dieting. Plus eating more helps for playing sport and gyming.

Sorry to hear about your knees bro. Knee issues suck! It seems to be a pretty common occurance with people throughout the vert community :(

I still prefer the bench press though since you can throw up more weight on it :P

Yeah, it's also safer. It's not like too many people die bench pressing or anything.

The bench press takes another victim. He died after injuring his heart, diaphragm, broken ribs and torn abdominal cavity.

Yeah it depends. You could also do a russian plank... both Bret Contreras and Pavel demonstrated that one.

Uh yea I don't have a kettle bell bro.

I tried it and got over 2 minutes easy.

Ok thanks, if you've never done one before and managed 2 mins easy, then i've got some work to do. Will work up to 2 minutes over the next few wks.

I've done planks before but I havn't done them for a while. At rugby training in pre-season we'll always be doing stuff like planks and having competitions on who can hold them the longest and shit like that.

Well you don't need to be a genius to pretty much get at the conclusion of a bigger ceiling in speed sports for black people.

And yes, I don't remember the last time I saw a black O-lifter, for example. And so on. But more on the speed side of things - 100m, 200m, 400m, whatever, blacks rule. Both men and women.

Like Kelly said - if a guy put a gun at your head and told you to choose a kid that you'd believe is the most athletic (fast or whatever, you have to define what "athletic" means first but whatever) out of 100 kids, chances are you're going to pick a black kid.

Yeah that's pretty much what I believe as well except when you say black it's specifically West African or West African decended.

Ok i reviewed my time and it was 17s -slightly more than 10 but not significantly. This was a wobbly, struggling effort. It wasn't an effortless this-is-a-waste-of-my-time-i-could-do-this-all-day type of thing. I don't think I had good form either. Is it easy for the rest of you guys to do > 1 minute?

I tried it and got over 2 minutes easy.

One of my favourite players when he wasn't getting banned from the league for smoking too much weed. Probably one of the top 10 or 15 most talented players ever to play the game.

Yeah he was an awesome football player. I read his biography and watched his 'such is life' documentary. If you havn't read his book it's pretty good. Same as Wayne Carey's biography. I like reading biography's of successful athlete's because it gives you an insight into their physcology.

"It was about 40 degrees and 95 per cent humidity and West Coast were going through the motions of a training session - all except for one player," Quinn recalled. "They were doing runs at 50 per cent and there was this one guy doing it at 100. They did the session for about 30 or 40 minutes and the whole time this one guy was doing everything at 100 miles an hour.
"I have always watched him since that time. That is his work ethic all the time. I say to our players, he is the benchmark."
