i got this from kelly bagget's site...
This is me...
Those who are stronger then they are fast will tend to have many of the following characteristics:
A: You will tend to be much faster at the start than the finish of a race (check out The 40 yard dash assessment)
B: You will tend to have a shorter, thicker build with larger ankles and calves, thicker wrists, shorter legs, and longer torso.
C: Your running bilateral vertical jump will be nearly the same as your standing vertical jump. (around 4 inches or less difference)
D: Your running bilateral vertical jump will be higher than your running unilateral vertical jump
E: The bounce depth jump (off any height box 12 inches and up) will tend to be the same or lower than your stationary jump
F: Your strength will be ahead of your speed and movement efficiency (you have naturally good weight room numbers but not so naturally impressive speed and vertical jump numbers).
G: Naturally quad and calf dominant - (Calves and quads are naturally better developed than glutes and hamstrings)
H: Naturally less ripped and defined
I: Naturally less quick in rapid fire low tension movements (quick hands and feet) - even if explosive & powerful
This is You Andrew... i think...
Those who are faster than they are strong will tend to have many of the following characteristics:
A: You tend to be faster at the end of a sprint than the start (Naturally good top speed)
B: Your build is lean and muscular and it's not difficult for you to stay that way
C: Your strength has never been dramatically ahead of your speed in any event (bench pressing vs throwing a baseball, squatting vs jumping)
D: Your best bilateral (2-legs) vertical jump from either a run-up or a depth jump is about 20% or more higher then your best jump from a standstill.
E: Your bounce depth jump (from a box height of 12-18 inches or more) will be higher than your best standing verical jump.
F: Your running 2 leg vertical jump will be 4 inches or more higher than your stationary jump.
G: Your running 1 leg jump will be about the same or higher than your running 2 leg jump.
H: Naturally glute dominant - (Naturally less muscular calves and quads and better developed glutes).
I: Naturally longer build with higher muscle insertion points
J: Naturally more quick - even if not explosive and powerful
haha nice work, appreciate it, but let me fix a few things about myself
Those who are faster than they are strong will tend to have many of the following characteristics:
WRONG A: You tend to be faster at the end of a sprint than the start (Naturally good top speed)
- my acceleration is better than my top speed, i never developed any kind of top speed sprinting when i was young, i'd hit 20 yards and then maintain or lose speed
WRONG B: Your build is lean and muscular and it's not difficult for you to stay that way
- im naturally skinny-fat, so, not really naturally lean.. it's hard for me to get lean, i really have to work at it.. if i don't, i just look skinny fat with no muscle tone/definition.
C: Your strength has never been dramatically ahead of your speed in any event (bench pressing vs throwing a baseball, squatting vs jumping)
TRUE D: Your best bilateral (2-legs) vertical jump from either a run-up or a depth jump is about 20% or more higher then your best jump from a standstill.
- around 10" higher off full run than standing, but that gap increased bigtime with training.. SVJ would remain shitty while RVJ would improve
TRUE E: Your bounce depth jump (from a box height of 12-18 inches or more) will be higher than your best standing verical jump.
- 124" touch SVJ, 126" touch off 18"
TRUE F: Your running 2 leg vertical jump will be 4 inches or more higher than your stationary jump.
G: Your running 1 leg jump will be about the same or higher than your running 2 leg jump.
- if i consistently trained SLRVJ, then probably true..
WRONG H: Naturally glute dominant - (Naturally less muscular calves and quads and better developed glutes).
- naturally better developed quads/vmo, calfs skinny but bouncy, glutes naturally nonexistent/hamstring nonexistant
TRUE I: Naturally longer build with higher muscle insertion points
TRUE J: Naturally more quick - even if not explosive and powerful
- i have pretty good limb speed, just can't generate power naturally, thus all the heavy lifting :d
peace man!
