Asafa Powell in Miami!

I thought about printing some copies. But I forgot.

He has a upper body like a swimmer. V taper.

They were sent to his management, not to him.
He is truly something to behold isn’t he!

His start is amazing. I am uploading the best view now. It is a slo motion side view. It shows how high his arm goes back. I tried it at practice today, not easy to do, It takes alot of power to do. His arm extension is nothing short of amazing.

Great vids. He makes that 100m look disgustingly easy. You don’t happen to have a time for it to you? I tried to time it, and got around 10.4.

Naw I have no time,

This is my favorite view of them all. Watch his arms as he explodes out of the blocks. 2000FPS!

Holy hell. Thanks for pointing that out. I figured it was like 12 until I looked again…sheesh

Yep - knees never fully extend… hmmmm:confused:

He’s not running full blast there so don’t draw too many conclusions.

lol, just watch how close to BDC his (toe off) triple extensions ends.

he is training to “choke” again…

boy wonderless…

ciao

I guess you are the resident hater. Keep your lame comments to yourself.

Yea he was just jogging. I think his first step from the blocks was his fastest.

not at all, i hate nobody, unless…but he is a choker…proven many times over…

thats not fiction. thats fact…

ciao

Man… u should ask money for this… lol

Did anyone else notice his heel going back after the start in the vid

looks like he has flats on and could be the blocks have a shorter plate than he is used to as the ones from the circuit appear to have a much longer plate …or are my eyes playing tricks again :stuck_out_tongue:

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I noticed that too.

What kind of shoes are those? Looked like flats but he seemed to have good traction.

They were the nike flats.

His foot placement was very high on the block. Did you notice his left foot skim the ground?
