Doubt the 700 but sprinting is a power sport and you need to develop a ton of power and that power begins in the weight room.

coach c'mon you know better.

doubt 700?

there is no way!

i have seen an offseason McGrath working legs, and now I do not know at all whether he was near his max, he was using 6 plates on each side and STRUGGLING--doing slow reps and he got multiple. but he was not busting them out or anything like that. this is frank mcgrath. not some bolt twink

like that was NOT easy for him.

this is TRUE, seen while working out in boston in 2010, and he was upwards of 300 lbs and a little shorter than me.. i'd guestimate 6 foot range. big guy.

point being- and i'll end this novel soon- there is not a GOD DAMNED CHANCE usain bolt squats 700 lbs!

Shut it goshite you know nothing. You told me you could run 100 meters in less than 12.5 seconds.
Guaranteed you can't even do it in less than 15 seconds. 100%

I remember a thread here that was asking what did you run the 40 dash in high school football. I remember they were better than most of the football players that went into the NFL.  

On a different topic how many power lifters can squat 700lbs but can't touch the rim of a basketball hoop because they have no power in their legs?  Power lifting should be named strength lifting and Olympic lifting should be called power lifting. You would think a middle weight power lifter would be explosive in a sprint but often that's not the case. Even though there is a relationship there is a difference between power and strength. On the other hand Olympic lifters are explosive and can show that in athletic measurements.

In each stride a sprinter is exploding forward. It's best described as jumping forward from step to step.

700 no way. Still, he is probably the most dominant athlete of our time.

Hmmmmmm.......



An Olympic level sprinter is a fucking stud though.







Impressive core development

Real athlete's physique right there

Wonder what his exact stack is like

I also find it very interesting that those elite sprinters keep getting caught for diuretic use

Conte once said its so that the muscle is dryer and dry muscle = fast muscle

The water from anabolics would increase overall strength but not the kind of explosive athleticism that is needed here

Good to see we kissed and made up after last night's fight  ;D  (no homo)

I haven't competed in 10 years, but when I did I was in a natural federation. SHWs were the only ones breaking 300kg (660lbs) raw. One guy in the under 85kg category was somehow squatting 295kg but that was equipped (single ply or whatever the weakest level of support was).

I myself managed 240kg for 3 reps with knee wraps and a belt at just over 105kg juicing. To add another 100kg to that, for a fairly lanky athlete, at 6ft5 with small enough legs who is "natural" is laughable. 700lbs is 7 plates...and 15kg (35lbs) change. No fucking way.

fuck you bunch of dumb clowns love to make an argument out of things that are not even arguments. We know the drill FFS, when someone says ''squats'' they do not mean competition form, deep and flawless, this a limited range of motion regular gym rats brag about,... almost pointless to even debate.

Which would make a claim of 700lb with sloppy form a legit 500lb in competition form. Now tons of fucks with twink legs are mega squatters, unlike other exercises squats is one that does not go hand and hand with the size of the muscle like other exercises.

I know personally a lot of our top athletes from the 80's,90's and 2000 and can assure you that squatting with 250-300kg./550-660lbs./ was the norm for most of them. I've witnessed it countless times with athletes from different sports. Usually they did a lot of sets of 1-3 reps max/talking about track and field/.

Do a walkout with 315kg/700lbs, video it, and let's see how much your legs are shaking.

This is why I said even a 1/4 squat is bullshit. Walking out with that much weight for anyone other than an elite lifter (or thereabouts) is incredibly difficult. That's just supporting it on shoulders and taking a step back.

I bet he can do a 700lb squat if he follows the King Kamali 1/4 rep method...

okay, top bodybuilder of today, with all their drugs, can squat 500, 600 pounds.

Look at their FRAME.  they're small, narrowish, not built like world class athletes.  The have an average amount of fast twitch muscle fibers.

Then you have Bolt... insane height and dimensions.  More fast twitch muscle fiber in his calves than most BBers have in both legs combined.

To those who even contemplate believing this, you know nothing about strength and human capability, relative to ... a lot.

Please advance to next thread.

Exactly,

And it was Flex's myostatin deficiency which made it possible for him to compete as a natural at the Olympia

I would never do this quarter rep BS that goes on, however I can hit my ass to the ground with 500lb easily, but I really do not see the big deal with someone grabbing 700lb on a smith machine and going down 5 inches which is more then likely what you would get with 75% of the claims, which wouldn't even translate to him doing a 500lb legit squat

as a (former) 700+ squatter I cant see him walking it out, but if he had 700 on the bar it was done off super high pins for a 1/8th rep or the smith.
