I just wonder how JD has not received a single phone call during the filming of this doco? He certainly was well equipped. 
I thought his sports therapist was Benny Vaughn. That’s what they said at the trials (maybe that was just during the trials). He has a great deal of experience. This lady on the video was probably just a general masseur available at the drop of a hat for some camera time. ‘turn off your mind and rub you slug’, right?
Probably 9.9
The cleans are done on the Keiser. Hard to gauge the resistance since it’s neumatic (air). I believe the most it can do is 225 lbs with air only though.
Problem with this for cleans is the tension is not the same as gravity so as soon as it starts to move by itself it is pulled back down faster than gravity would. Obviously not what you want if you are trying to catch it! Maybe an interesting idea for pulls though?
I see and feel what you’re sayin X-Man!!!
I noticed in the video that John Drummond mentions something about Tyson gay spending 20 steps in his drive phase. Do sprinters count the number of steps in their drive phase? If so, how do you figure out the appropriate number of steps that’s suitable.
I have never used this set up…I don’t know. Maybe someone here has used it and can give feedback.
Is that the same Ben Vaughn who used to be a sprinter in the mid 1970s?
I think this Benny was an 800m runner at Florida.
i’d assume it’s more to lessen the pounding and beating to the feet given the forces and velocities these machines are producing. More about helping to prevent possible stress fractures given his violent technique and turn-over. I remember reading something of tim montgomery saying how much of a pounding and bruising his feet were induced after running 9.78.
When I first saw this pic of tyson gay first thing I thought was, shit this guy has legs and feet like a cheetah:cool: . After seeing this TGAY documentary i see where the appearance of the cheetah like paws come from, taped up ball of foot. The cheetah like legs remain what they appear.
I wonder if mo greene, ato boldon, and drummond taped up ball of foot too? When I saw Mo Greene 9.79 on video in slow-mo the appearance of the foot displayed flashes of a tiger foot. Then I seen an HSI video of him getting acupuncture and realized how rather dense and beastly his feet actually were.
If I remember correctly, I’ve seen at least Ato Boldon taping his feet before a race.
this video still working? i’m struggling to get it going!
Yes, still working for me at least.
what browser are you using?
Firefox but I also fired up Explorer 7 and it worked too.
That’s really weird. My computer isn’t having it!
I cant get it to open either.
Maybe it’s only available in the US now??
That McDonald’s hypejob reeked of product placement. I would yak my brains out if I ate a Big Mac after training, but then again I would probably fake it once in a while if they were sponsoring me.
I thought the same thing but he attacked that burger like an angry German Shepard… You cant fake that. He ate it with “mucho gusto”…
