Bolt was far from running relaxed in this race.
Tyson’s arms are quite massive. He has to be doing some isolating exercises. Any thoughs on this?
When pics like this are posted one immediately comments on the magnitued of leg extension. What I like to see in addition to the leg extension is the mobility at the hip to allow for the hip extension :D. Tyson is really displacing.
How much faster would he be if he cut that stash?
One of my new arrival freshmen DBs, Brandon Ifill, sprints in a fashion that is strikingly similar to Tyson with the exception of the obvious difference in speed.
I noticed it immediately and subsequently told him about it.
These are his high school bests:
100 - 10.79
200 - 21.81
400 - 54.14
55 - 6.58
60 - 6.97
I think Lemaitre does run relaxed. I think his mechanics need work. Obviously, this will come with strength and good coaching.
Have you been reading the article Usain Bolt Flies on Big Stride Angle at http://www.somaxsports.com/ ? It is in the analyses of Top Athletes section.
Thanks John read it in a state of quiet despair. The following is not meant in any way as a criticism of anyone but the author:
WOW: How about that. Flexibility around the hips and groin helps increase ROM. Who would have ever thought …
And heavy weights are a thing of the past, eh? Tell it to Ben. He lifted heavy, had a superb ROM and his stride length came primarily through the quality of impulse applied to the track… wait, gee… just like Usain Bolt! Waddya know… now please send me a cheque for all this $ecret information. :rolleyes:
LMAO! Well said. Oh and how long did it take for you to come up with “Waddya”?
