I think he meant the lead hand firing out hard and fast and letting the rest “happen”.
Re Ben’s start – he was so quick and powerful that what worked for him may not work for a regular human. I say let your body find it’s own way to start.
Yes that’s what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

i think cf said nothing should be hard and fast. just think about being quick.
You’re right. Thanks for the tip. I was watching vids of Ben’s starts last night, unbelievable.

First race tomorrow. No clue what to except, will work with what I have from tomorrow on! I’m hoping 11.5-11.4 FAT in that range.
goodluck bro, u have been working hard!
You’re just fat. Some day you need to stop, put down the beer, Mr. Griffin, and look in the mirror. Fat people aren’t good at blocks.
Then again, people with fat heads and no knowledge probably need to get a few limbs severed from their bodies. holds up his chainsaw and machete Do you perfer messy or gorey? I also have holds up rusted spoon time-consuming and painful (the rust is extra but for you I make a dea.)
Dude why aren’t you going tothe the National JuCo Combine…?
I didn’t know there was a national combine for Juco players… I know there is one in San Jose at SJSU in May for unsigned sophs, but they are just doing drills and 1-on-1’s, not really a combine though (no 40, vert, bench, 5-10-5, etc).

Cooldown, stretch. Felt pretty good. Weights later. Didn’t do so hot this weekend at my race, but it’s the first one. Hope this weekend will be better.
what event did you run in?
I ran the 100m.
What time did you get? Do you plan on going to any combines anyways.
I’m not sure about the combine thing; I may do the one at SJSU in May but I’m undecided. As of now I’m going to attempt and walk on somewhere. But you never know what would happen ya know?

This session felt awesome. Forgot my straps for powercleans but still was decent. Form and explosivness was good though. Weighed 183 before workout, 187 after (after drinking about 2 liters of water during!! Must’ve been pretty dehydrated today).
Contrast shower post workout (4 cycles of 3 min hot/1 min cold).
what was ur time, and do those straps really help on pc?
11.90 FAT into a headwind and rain. There were other factors that I could list but I don’t want to sound like a whiner. This next week’s race should be much better as I got all the cobwebs out in my first race.
I don’t know really if the straps help much, I usually use them on hc only, but last night I didn’t really feel like it made much of a difference without them on powercleans.
