400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Sprinter Training
« on: June 25, 2011, 02:00:05 am »Hopefully everything you see & hear about the world's 2 fastest men you will take with a BIG pinch of salt.QuoteFinding his max squat is something I have tried and failed before.
Bolt has probably never got under a squat rack in his life.
The spine hates sustained compression but loves storing & releasing rotary torque. Not enough attention paid to the spinal engine from what I gather.
Benching 185 doesn't make you a sub 10 runner.
Will be interesting to see what times the top Brit's produce in the future.QuoteYou'll find your body wants to rotate laterally with each arm movement unless you brace yourself mid-region.
Did you see Bolt's lateral movement in Beijing & in Berlin that he got criticized for?.
Seems like he was taking advantage of the lateral spring system.
Can brute force compete with spring/elasticity (stride rate remains constant)?.
Nah.
Much stronger guys than Bolt even in first round races get demolished.
Carl Lewis didn't lift until the back end of his career, when he ran his slowest times -- Linford 700lb+ squat.
It was Carl who came out on top. Hence things need to put in perspective.
yea I was just pointing out that I have seen tyson lift before..I know tyson works hard, and I would say he works harder than bolt..Tyson lifts, 3x8 routine i think...Bolt probably does some olympic lifts and such
here is Jared Connaughton..he runs a 10.0x and he is a top sprinter for Canada
He has shown his clips of lifting..go to his channel, shows some workouts he had done
he is 5'8 and 180lbs..those are the two lifting vids on his channel, his channel give s great view to a sprinters life
