btw, t0ddday, greece isn't and wasn't ever in the eastern bloc!
True. We were really close at some point though. So close it caused ( to a big extend ) this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_civil_warNo, I didn't understand it.
By the same token I could start squatting 10% of my 1RM and say "hey, the important thing is that I'm squatting".
You genuinely did not understand it. You are genuinely confused. Ok, read carefully and try to understand :
Neither toddday or i disagree that 16 seconds for 100m is a very slow performance. What we say is that TIME and EFFORT are not directly related.
YES, 16 seconds was slow as fuck. NO , it was not submax , it was all out, i gave all i got.
Your squatting example is wrong again, i never said i went 10% , i said i went 100% and you doubted it because i did 16 seconds.
In squatting, it would be like me saying "i went 1RM and it was 110kg" and you saying "It was not 1RM , because 110kg is too light and i can do 160kg".
And , like Bolt sees your all-out-never-fail 100m sprint as an eternity just as much as you see my 16 seconds as one, the same goes for squatting, you see my 1RM as a featherweight, KF sees yours the same and so on.
It is a basic principle really, i do not understand why you need 4 messages to comprehend it :
An absolute number ( time in a run, kg in a lift, height in a jump, whatever! ) on an event can not lead to a safe conclusion about the effort percentage of the person who did it.
