Com'on... Gatlin looks like a combination of Will Smith and Josh Smith

I think the same applies in terms of deadlifts vs squats.
That's why some people have such good deadlift numbers and such poor squat numbers, especially if they high bar squat - you can't cheat using the lowerback as much in the squat as you can in the deadlift.
So obviously people with great lowerback strength but weak leg strength will deadlift much more than they can squat. Think Mutombo on this forum.

MEBM makes me pass out. Unless I'm doing half squats instead of full squats with it.

Why do you use a 36 inch box? Just because it's written in the Boing program?

This makes me think of a possible debate between a clean and a powerclean. Which one is more essential for field athleticism and which one is useful for, well, cleaning more weight.

You mean Will Smith?

I think Bolt also has to do less work considering that his strides are so much longer, so he does less strides per 100m than the others.

If you use plates for swings I'd suggest plates no bigger than 10 kg since the diamater increases too much and it becomes a pain to do it (you have to be careful not to hit the ground with the plate etc).
I'd just patch together 2x10g and use them like that instead of using a 20kg plate.

Maybe the low bar squat is "superior" (in lack of a better term) because men usually have overactive quads and strong quads to begin with, so doing low bar squats makes the posterior chain slowly catch up with the quads and balance stuff.
But then again - it depends on so many factors. LB does allow more weight though, but it's important how that weight is driven up.
