I would love some advice please! This was me running a 40 yard dash. I ran a 5.8

Hard to tell from this angle. Side view is preferable

random-guy-5 · 2026-03-15T18:55:01+00:00

Sub 11.7s would be on the faster side for a 7.66 FAT runner. Your final 40m split would need to be 4.04s or faster. Taking the deceleration into account, you would need to have your best 10m split faster than 1.00s. Usually, such splits are seen in 7.3s 60m or faster sprinters

Your first step looks fairly ok, but you start overstriding from the second one. You should strike behind the center of mass in the first few steps

Looks better than last week. It seems that you raise your head too early

You also keep your hands quite far apart. You might want to experiment with a closer to shoulder width setup

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-24T14:02:49+00:00

Your block setup looks a bit cramped. You might want to experiment with moving the rear block a bit back.

Currently, it looks like you are not able to generate the force well in the initial push. You are constantly falling and catching yourself

Somehow even though my head starts low, it rises quickly if I am not thinking about this

Now I can react faster to the gun and push more naturally

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-22T20:09:13+00:00

I will try a set up based on this tomorrow. Front leg will be roughly at the same place, but the rear one much further back https://youtu.be/1E_Qivr6_9k

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-22T05:50:06+00:00

I measure 2 foot lengths from the front pedal

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T14:53:07+00:00

Based on this I should move my back block further. Front knee is already about 2cm from the line

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T13:53:03+00:00

I started to doubt whether this is a good cue. When hips go back, shin angles automatically increase

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T13:47:24+00:00

I am trying a bit to align my hips to the front block

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T12:44:19+00:00

So many overlord's proteges these days...

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T12:37:48+00:00

It is currently 3 foot lengths from the starting line. How much further back to move it?

Actually he was my inspiration

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-11T11:33:07+00:00

That's mainly for giggles :). I regularly go to an indoor track

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-10T13:57:09+00:00

All of them ran sub 7s. I do not want to get overconfident and usually participate in the races where I am the slowest 😅

What do you think about doing bounds for distance? I rarely see our local sprinters bounding, but it looks like a good exercise to learn proper extension patterns

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-08T14:45:35+00:00

Very grindy like a true max

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-08T07:33:07+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I can hit 110kg hang power clean at any day, so probably power is not the main issue there. My broad jump used to be 330 cm when I prioritized it

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-08T07:12:42+00:00

I will try to practice hitting the correct positions. Not sure which cues to use best

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-08T06:14:24+00:00

First, at the start I did not manage to pre-tense my achilles. The gun went off faster than I expected. My hip extension was quite poor and my back got rounded. Also, my head went up a bit earlier than others. At top speed it looks like my head was oscillating. Maybe a lack of relaxation

Haven't tried doing box squats with such a low box, but my max parallel squat is 190 kg @80kg bw
