Yeah low body fat is essential coz fat is just dead weight. Most of the elite jumpers are pretty skinny guys yet still incredibly powerful e.g t-dub, darlington, guy dupuy, kadour ziani, holm, etc. I wreckon where relative strength helps out the most is with standing vertical. Once you get a higher standing vert you can transfer those gains over to running though. The only trouble with getting down to low body fat is if you're not naturally a low bodyfat kind of guy. I mean everybody can get down to low bodyfat with excessive dieting but is the dieting worth it?
With me I'd rather follow D4 advice and just get down and maintain around 12% bf while substancially increasing my strength because my lack of leg strength is my main liability atm. For somebody who has already got the strength (e.g Scooby) perhaps losing fat and even bodyweight would be the best possible thing they could do for their vertical improvement. Just depends on the individual and where they're at imo.

If drugs are really as far in front of the testers as this dude says they are than I guess I could believe it. However, if there was a decent chance they'd get caught I don't think they'd risk it. Imagine how much Usain Bolt stands to lose financially if he tests positive to PED's. Majority of his money would come from sponsers and endorsements and his profile would be shattered overnight. Same as any top sprinter coz the sprinters at the very top have the most to lose. Up and coming athletes that don't have much profile or guys that are past their peak or realize they just can't compete with the best without PED's would take them regardless though (e.g Steve Mullings). Once you get caught though your career is over just look at Ben Johnson and Dwain Chambers as examples of that. Even if your career isn't over (Justin Gatlin) your name is forever tarnished.
I wreckon heaps of NFL athletes juice up though. There's really not as much stigma to it if you get caught because you only get banned for a few weeks and than everybody kind of forgets about it. To back that statement up you just got to look at people like Bill Romanowski coming out and admitting he took steroids in parts of his NFL career and barely anybody blinks an eye or dare suggests that his accomplishments are somehow tarnished.

Squat- 130kg  

Edit- Just realized I'm also part of the 1k club now!
Bench- 112.5kg = 247lbs
Squat- 130kg= 286lbs
Deadlift- 212.5kg= 467lbs
= 1001lbs!

Easy way to measure if it's accurate is just to measure the object that you touched. It looked like you touched the ceiling so measure how high that is and than deduct your standing reach from it. Impressive vertical!

I do not think it is an exaggeration.
In a kinesiology class I took we watched documentaries that exposed other horror stories, such as the scandals in East Germany.

Those athletes did not know they were being doped until they started experiencing side effects such as facial hair growth and things of that nature (in female athletes).

I don't believe it's impossble to run 9.7 without drugs. But it may be a false hope because I understand that all sprinters are pretty much doping. That I have heard before.

"The victims all received Oral-Turinabol - an anabolic steroid containing testosterone made by Jenapharm. The "blue bean" had astonishing powers - accelerating muscle build-up and boosting recovery times - but its subsequent side effects were catastrophic: infertility among women, embarrassing hair growth, breast cancer, heart problems and testicular cancer. An estimated 800 athletes developed serious ailments".
"Intriguingly, some of the world records set by East German athletes while using Oral-Turinabol have not been bettered."

That must have been potent as fuk.
