What I meant is - it doesn't sound realistic to me (assuming it was done on a track, not in the conditions that you were doing it). For a guy that trains for quite some time, like you, 16 seconds sound unrealistic for an 100 meters all-out sprint ON A TRACK.

No, I didn't understand it.

By the same token I could start squatting 10% of my 1RM and say "hey, the important thing is that I'm squatting".

So 16 seconds is not an eternity? How about 20s? 1 minute? Half an hour? If 16 seconds is not an eternity, then no other value is, no matter how long.

It's not that hard to use common sense and common sense says that 16 seconds is a very, very long time for 100m for an all-out sprint - hence why I said you must've been coasting.

PS. Obviously, I said this assuming you were running on a straight line on the track.

I can't help but to think that if you're finishing the 100m in 16 seconds... you're really not giving it your all. When I sprint it's pretty much the only time (it also applies in skanderberg, for me) - when I give it my all. Everything I have. It's yet another weird thing about me. Failure in sprinting is not an option. Knowing I didn't give it my absolute best is not an option. It's really hard to explain.

So... 16 seconds sound like an eternity and sound like a submaximal sprint to me.

So what time do you finish the 100m in when you give it your all? 


Never tried it. I would most definitely collapse after it. I feel like passing out after an all out 50m and it takes minutes to recover to an even decent heartrate (that is not over 150 or so) - I feel really bad even after 30m sprints.

At 100m I would either not give all or just die or something :P

I could never understand the double arm swing. The amount of overload I get in the jumping leg is too much to cope with, I would have my leg collapse every time.

Thanks man. The thing with my articles is that they aren't "backed up" by science in the traditional sense. They're just what I learned over time from experience and what I extrapolate through (my) logic. I don't have references to point to etc after I write an article.

So it's more like broscience, but hopefully they do make at least some sense. I think at least they're a different "kind" of writing... I tend to write about stuff that you can't really find anywhere else, about small details that aren't usually discussed etc. That's the way I approach it.

And being an overanalyser, that's easy for me to do.

I'm currently working on writing some more articles about the one leg jump. The only advertising I'm doing is to comment using "insane-athletics" on youtube on dunk videos, and to post my articles on several dunk-related groups, and on my page.

By the way Today, do you have any suggestion for a good bounding progression to LEARN bounding? I can only do them on the same leg, on my left leg. I can't do them alternating, I totally mess them up... after 1-2 jumps I'm completely out of rhythm. I assume LBSS would have the same issues.

Is there any bounding progression to actually learn how to do them, from easy stuff to more complicated until you end up doing good form alternating bounds?
