Even bounding (both 1-leg and two legs on the hill could be helpful (for both jumping and sprinting)).

Just use a 3 pt stance to start.

You have a good point.


Allan Wells running in the second semi-final heat (Lane 5) & final (Lane 3).

Starting blocks overrated?.

Ha, I guess I assume that blocks do help I was just saying that if he wasn't competing in t&f there is no need to get blocks

How are these guys so fast with hardly any muscle mass to speak of.  Is it soley based on their reactive abiltiy and leg and tendon lengths? I can see how they would have good top speed after 50meters or so....but what about the first 50?   

They have to be running  slower 40 times compared to NFL defensive backs who pack a good amount of muscle on them.  Am I right?

Training methods were a lot different back then in the 70's. Sprinters didn't lift to the same extent they do now.  Not sure on their 30 m times but if you do some digging you could probably dig up some numbers by guys like Wells.

The fastest NFL guys might get close over short distances, but comparing NFL times and sprint times is a bit difficult because the timing is so different. Track times the clock starts and the athlete has to react (adds 0.1-0.2s) whereas for NFL combine times the clock is started by someone who pushes a button when he sees the athlete set off (removes 0.2-0.3 seconds).

Wells was 6'0 190lbs which isn't really that skinny. I think he was pretty strong over short distances too so he was probably pretty strong.

The fastest NFL guys might get close over short distances, but comparing NFL times and sprint times is a bit difficult  impossible and/or a complete joke because the timing is so different.

Fixed.

Also: Wells was very fast. Therefore, he was very strong in the way he needed to be strong. The end.

Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.
