Focus more on the push for the initial strides rather than frequency. Drive out of the blocks.
Kinda like what I am doing with the tire there in the 2nd vid ? Low carryover ? kinda like bounding with power, is that it ?
BTW at least is the running itself a bit better ? I’ll take care of the block settings and drive…
Jesus just run. Look at your older videos–they were fine (heel recovery was fine, back was fine, etc.). Go do that and faster and you’ll be good.
Hey Silencer…Firstly keep up the hard work…its starting to pay dividends. Ok…The 30m block start you need to be more explosive out of the blocks and pump the arms more aggressively. The position you’re in at the set position wont allow this. Why? Because the block faces are too steep. As a basic rule the back should be one notch higher than the front. Drop the front to the lowest setting and the back one at one notch. This will help you to have the feet flush on the block pads to start with. Keep things simple. Dont over complicate things. Flick the lead hand and pump the arms. Scramble out of the blocks as my old coach told me. Charlie has always said let the feet do their own thing.
The tire pull your first movement is up then forward. You’re wasting too much time and its an unnecessary movement. Forward,forward,forward. The back leg is too straight so you’ll get no push from that. Deep knee angles will keep the drive lower and propell you forward horizontally better. Again the use of arms is very pedestrian even though its in slow mo. Pump them arms man! Hope this helps.
The running itself looks good in the block start - Feet placement seems good re-away from line, you do have really long legs, agreed about the Angle of the pads that Jason says and agree about “running out of the blocks” instead of Driving out of them. It wont take long to learn to drive the 1st few strides then Into running like you did here. You just have to learn to meld them together.
Tire pull - Look at your feet carefully, either the rope is pulling you sideways or your hips are out? Your Right foot, the sole is facing the camera (slightly) and your Left foot the sole of your foot is facing Away from the camera. This can easily happen when the rope is not dead set in alignment with your spine. Also, your arms, esp your left one, keeps driving even after 20m!
Otherwise, your upper back seems Heaps better as does your hip drive.
Jason, what do you mean by “Deep knee angles” ? Can you explain a little more about what you mean please? Cheers 
Damn, I guess sprinting is a science after reading this thread!!!
When can we start talking about spine engine theory?
Lol no worries I know how to filter out the science …
I adjusted my blocks forward like you guys said, and tried to think about driving out… this is the result:

Apply the fix or undo changes ?
I will take it easy this week, call it unloading… i’m beat up.
Look a little better, only if you could get some turnover. 
Its going great.
Cant wait to see you in a fly 20 now. And a transition from Blocks into a Fly.
Looks like its going to be a good season
My 20c worth.
Imagine you are on a pushbike in first gear, shut your eyes and get into it, next put the bike in 3rd gear and do the same.
Read Charlies article on the mechanics of running and work on the lower leg and foot first.
haha! Seems somebody disagrees that your going to have a good season Silencer! I got bad rep’d for the above, for giving praise. Whatever.
I still think your on your way to a good season. 
P.s. i deff prefer the slow mo footage you put up - much easier to see.
Thanks bold !!! Sorry you got neg repped … You probably should have said " It is looking to be a hot winter " … Heh…
Yea I prefer slow motion too but when it’s dark you can’t see anything in slow motion mode… Need alot of light.

I’ve been trying to get a better “drive” like you guys said over the past few weeks.
I’m hoping its improving.
7 weeks to go till comp.
Same problems…
Looks the same. Just keep training.
When setting up move your shoulders forward slightly and then when called to set take a deep breath, hold that, lift your hips straight up and stay as still as possible. If you watch what you do you move forward to set and aren;t that still. Common errors. Especially noticeable in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IYeoVM4PZs
good tip ! thanks John !
Any more cues ? Just trying to find the right cue for me till I find something consistent that works.
I dont know where to focus, so one start I think back leg push, then I think lead arm flick, then rear arm extension, then I think jump out like BJ, and all kinds of things…
It’s inconsistent.
Same here:(
I can’t think about everything I should/must improve. But I do see that I’m getting better with each training session as I’ve, probably, started doing some things subconsciously.
Try to focus on one thing at a time and as you do it without much thinging move to another one.
I think you’re worrying too much about all of these little cues. Your start looks fine, just keep training. If you need something to think about in the blocks, I believe Charlie says to just “try and get the hell out of there.”
