Bolt looks to be in a bit of anterior pelvic tilt in that video... he's always been in APT... remember his "power clean" video?
But yeah... maybe if I'd have better hip flexibility to get the knee higher easily (without "trying") then maybe my mechanics would look different.
But at this point I just automatically put my foot down wherever the body feels like "doing so". I think at my level of strength that's what you get.
It's also kind of confusing how sprinters with good acceleration also seem to move their feet/legs at the start to the sides so to speak. So they don't really step in line with their body but behind and a bit on the side so their feet combined with their body look like a "V" for the first 10-20 meters. Then they start to step in-line and straight ahead...
You can see me do that in the video in the first post in this thread... I was like "let me try it" and... it's strange. Maybe they want to finish on the big toe or something in the acceleration phase?
By the way - thanks for the effort of writing that much, I really appreciate it.
