I don’t think its unattainable, I just think its not necessarily optimal (let alone crucial).
Let’s face it, there has never been a study that showed the accurate bodyfat % of all the sprinters in history who ran under 6.7 secs for 60meters.
Exactly why its not valid for you to say that syrus2001 must get under 7% bf in order to run 6.7 or better.
And because of that, you and the other guy: “Fogey fogel-face” seem to think I’m making stuff up.
You are.
Do you both believe he’ll reach his goal at his current level of bodyfat?
I can’t speak for fogey fattelson but I have no clue whether or not syrus2001 is capable at his current level of bodyfat.
Will just have to dissagree then. Show me one world class sprinter that is a little chubby, and I might belive you.
Chubby is irrelevant- one sprinter 7% bf or above who has run 6.7 or better invalidates your statement… more than one has been mentioned in this thread.
There is a factor that niether of you seemed to have observed. Not everyone has the anatomical and physiological traits of the fastest sprinters. One sprinter might need 1% or 2% less bodyfat than his training partner, just to run the same speed as his training partner if everything else, was ‘almost’ equall.
Might is the key word. In reality neither you nor I nor syrus2001 knows and this is why it is not accurate/appropriate for you to say he must get below 7% bf in order to achieve his goal.
