Ah! Thank you, I'll measure that now. Also, height since it's been half a year since I last did.

Height (shoe-less, for accuracy): 5'10" (70")
Wingspan: 70 in. (Whoa... cool, haha.)
Overhead Reach: 87 in.

I've taken measurements to better gauge where I am as suggested.

Arms:     12 in. -----> mind you this is after waking up and flexing, not while being "pumped"
Legs:     18 in.
Calves:  13 in.
Waist:    31 in.
Chest:    37.5 in.
Shoulders around: 43 in. (small I know)
Shoulders across:  19.5 in.

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Fast runners have shorter heels and longer toes

I'm glad I have the coaches that I do. I'd hate to have coaches that don't really know what they're talking about.

I think Bolt can definitely run faster. I don't think I've seen him actually sprint all the way through a race, towards the end he just kinda coasts into a finish like it was no big deal.

I think 4x400 hand-off is the easiest. My coach is making us do blind hand-offs for that one too now though. That's okay, our team is pretty tight, we click really well.

Hyperextensions help your back muscles too, but not quite as much as dead lifts. (you should probably do dead lifts even if your back has no problems though...)

That is NOT how high school track should be. (This is probably why I love my team so much) And the 400m hurts... a lot. But I love it... I hate it... but I love it :D haha

That actually sounds fantastic, I'll start doing those Monday for my next workout. Also, I might as well add the exercises and weights right now.

* Add weight if necessary

Phase II Day 1:

Barbell front squat: 5x5 @ 155 lbs. (Never really practiced front squat so my weight isn't near as good as what I'd do on back squats.)
Close grip incline bench press (about 14in.): 5x5 @ 115 lbs. (deltoid injury screwed me over on this lift for the longest time)
Bulgarian Split Squat: 2x8 @ bodyweight + 25 lb dumbbells
On arm row (elbow out): 2x8 @ 35 lb dumbbell

Phase II Day 3:

Chinup*: 5x5 @ bw + 20 lbs
Hang clean and press: 5x5 @ 100 lbs (When I finished I realized I definitely should have put more weight on this one)
Cable Pull Throughs: 2x8 @ 45 lbs
Weighted sit ups: 2x8 @ +45 lb plate

Phase II Day 5:
Trap Bar Dead-lift: 5x5 @ 195 lbs.
Dips*: 5x5 @ bw + 45 lb plate
Cable Rows: 2x8 @ 150 lbs.
Reverse Hypers: 2x8

Because I was able to finish all sets of 5 on all the workouts, next week every single weight will be going up.  ;D

Whoa... I didn't see the second video.  :o Even his career makes him look like a badass. This guy's proof that people don't need to settle for stereotypes.  8) (Also, I don't think I'd mind doing what he does)

I love how he ends that first video with the chair.
