I think some people are really surprised by how much muscle the sprinters actually do have in their upper bodies despite thinking it would be all lower
They’re just lean. Some high school athletes can lift more than bolt. Not saying your wrong, because it’s absolutely true, but it’s mostly the fact they’re lean.
Yeah, core and shoulder strength are also very important. Running isn't just about the legs though, it's a full-body thing, you don't realize how important everything else is till you start running
@@XxTR1D Usain Bolt could lift very heavy, in track and field they just aren’t optimizing for muscle growth. If you’ve ever seen what the FEMALEs alone can lift, you’d be surprised.
besides abs, having a strong back i can only imagine would help a lot too
@@XxTR1D bolt is actually one of the exceptions to what i had in mind. i remember always being so surprised how big maurice greene and asafa powell were in the upper body when i was young
every athlete is different. some require pure strength, some require explosiveness. work on what are you lacking in, everything will come to place
This
You got that right
He’s specifically talking about speed and explosiveness in track and field though. Yeah, you play football or hockey maybe you need some extra strength work for all that absorbing force and tackling. He’s talking about being as explosive and fast as possible. Not how to train to be a great nose tackle
"everyone is different" argument people use is so stupid, train everything the best way possible for your needs. this goes for any sporting demographic. The only exception for prioritizing an aspect for the majority of your training is when you have top level performances and if your rest and recovery as well as if the bias allows it to work
Well everyone is different and some are better at some things but what’s required is required everyone requires strength and explosiveness and all some just require less
ive seen asafa powell in person he was not small AT ALL he was HUGE lol. He looks small on TV but dude looked 6'9 and muscular like a body builder haha. What amazed me was how powerful he was warming up on the track i cannot see how anyone even beat him his strides were massive. he ended up running a 9.8 at the meet and it was a small allcomers meet with about 40 people there
Definitely some outliers!
@@justjumari na bro . The truth is that to gave power you need those muscles. Now you might say usain bolt but that's cause he's tall and his muscles are stretched out. In reality he is big as fuck his arms are dense and bulky. I meet him me self, yohan blake and others. And I'm gonna tell you they are just as big if not bigger then powerlifers and people presumed to be muscular. The camera is the thing that hides this. The Clare makes them look way smaller then they are. But in fact all top elite athletes have some sort of bulky muscular aspect to them. Example; yohan blake, ben jhonson, nesta carter, ferdinand omanyala, treyvon bromell, even christian coleman. It helps with higher force production when you hut the ground especially in the start when you max deadlift comes into play. Hence top sprinters have insane deadlift and big upper leg muscles. Like ben jhonson. But yeah being too big definitely has its disadvantages however if you were to get a really big bodybuilder powerlifers type guy vs a really skinny guy the powerlifter guy most likely wins and all the powerlifter guy's have to do is cut down little bit and focus on thier fast twitch to excel exponentially. I've seen this first hand. One of my best friends who was hulking, little chubby at first ran in our discrit meet and came close second to this other tall usain bolt type guy and then next year after he cut some fat and became fresh he beat the tall one by 0.3 seconds massive improvement so I definitely get your video.

As for Christian Coleman, underneath that layer of subcutaneous fat lies superman.
Usain bolt is muscular
You must not know what muscular is lol
True
@@TopGap415 He has ripped abs and is tall and skinny
@@justjumari it’s not size but power. Weights are important for power . Fun fact when erriyon Knighton was in grade 11 football he could squat 500lbs according to New York Times. 👀‼️
Sinuine- muscular but slim. Not a bulky guy
You have been one of the few people I have watched that has gotten it right. There is a little more to it but you are on the right track.
this was recommended to me and its kinda wild how relatable this is. Earned a new sub
Yesssss your clutch!
I needed this reassurance man thanks. Great video❤️
Happy to help!

Bro that dude at 1:53 dudes neck snapped
Okays
You would think being light weight and strong would be ideal for running fast but Usain Bolt was 207 pounds and he didn't even lift heavy. Usain definitely wasn't a lot smaller than most people he raced. He was a lot bigger. I don't now if any top sprinter weighed more than Usain Bolt. Generally sprinters are little guys < 190 pounds though.
Usain Bolt was also 6’5 like 4-10 inches taller than most sprinters
@godofnothing Usaim dose look skinner then me but I'm only 5ft8 so i''m alot shorter then him. Growing up as a kid it was usually the skinny kids that ran fast. I always figured it was because they had less weight to move around.
@@KentPetersonmoneyI was always really fast as a kid. No fat but little muscle but I could run like hell lmao
Man I was lifting and bulking for football but that shit is useless for track, now I had to cut down until I can see my abs and I’m getting super fast already
I love that bro!
Whats your weight, height, and speed?
57 kg and 180 cm, male and 14.
90kg, 180, 11.19 (ran that at 17 I’m 18 now)
73 kg 1,73 cm and 11,16 s
20 yo male
91kg / 1m83 / 100m --> 10.51
123 pounds, 5,7, 100m- 11.56
Can you look up a football/soccer player Adama Traore, he is the one of the fastest players in the game but also the most muscular guy in the league, can you do review on him?
i got you
A legendary speed demon 😁
I also think something like a single leg leg press or eccentric overload on one could be very beneficial specially in joint specific angles to transfer weight room strength and the fact that the stability requirements are much less
Facts. When I was a twig in high school, didn't touch a weight, I was running 4.6, insane lateral quickness, accel/decel. But no hand eye coordination lol fml.
Now, I got into alot of pro dunking youtubers that really got alot out of heavy weight training and adopted them into my routine. Gained lots of strength, lost speed, and only gained a miniscule vert. I did hurt my back real bad with bad form though, still recovering, but your channel is gold man esp since my back needs to rest. I think I've been doing the wrong things and need to get back into athletic movements, plyos.
The pro dunkers are quad dominant athletes. Fast people are gonna be more hamstring/glute dominant
@@kevinsutube1p528uhm no 😂
@@kevinsutube1p528I'm not sure it works like that
The true is body fat not weight. Many great sprinters is muscular like Maurice Greene, Shawn Crawford, Ben Johnson, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell etc.
I agree with most of your points, but you're missing the mark using elite sprinters as a comparison. You're also focusing on only one aspect of weight lifting and forgetting that lifting weights, correctly, also makes you more resistant/resilient to injury which allows you to do more track work/plyo in a given time and thus, get faster in less time. A guy who runs fast, but is relatively weak is going to get injured every 2-3 months. Also, most of us do not have elite sprinter genetics and would be more than happy to just break the 11sec barrier, or even low 11s, meaning we want to run fast and look good, look at those buff rugby players able to clock sub 11 and weighing over 100kg! It's only when you start getting into the elite/professional level that aesthetics and muscles really have to take a back seat to speed development.
Furthermore, there's more than one way to run fast. Compare De Grasse and Powell, very different physiques and sprinting styles but they have comparable times.
Each athlete needs to figure out what kind of training works best for them, but I do agree that the absolute bread and butter of sprint training SHOULD be plyometrics.
Okay
What plyometrics do you think are good? I don’t really know much about them
@@justjumari
Lol...he shut you up...🤣
Smaller in size not height. The guy in your title is Matthew Boling is 6'. Usain Bolt is 6'5", Noah Lyles 5'11". In general, sprinters are taller than the average person.
The video was about size i didnt bring up height once it really doesnt matter lol . You have seen Christain Coleman and many others
Ok I’ll bite. I’m 91kg. 40 years old. Former junior Australian champion 100m with PB of 10.38w or 10.48. I was around 83kg back then. I’ve done a lot of CrossFit and lifting since then. If I want to get back to being fast, what’s the best way to convert what muscle I have into functional muscle? I’m still low body fat around 10%. Should I just cut back on volume lifting and focus on running, plyo and light fast lifting?
Start doing more specific movements. So instead of a deep squat start doing quarter squats. And instead of like a regular deadlift you could do trapbar jumps. Outside of the weight room you need ALOT more plyos and sprinting and max effort jumps
@@justjumari yeah makes sense. I need to tread carefully with the plyos given I am heavier. Don’t want to stress the tendons too much too quickly. Will need to build it up. Was thinking heavy slow eccentric accessory calf raises would help strengthen the Achilles so long as I pair it with lots of faster light stuff? And in terms of dropping weight it’s really just a teeny bit of body fat otherwise I’ll have to literally shred muscle which is actually harder than it seems haha because as you keep training the muscles stay stimulated. May have to cut some calories.
@@scott-richardson you are a former elite and you’re asking a rando TH-camr with no subscribers for advice? Go find a real coach man. What are you doing?
@@wesleytwiggs7687 Sadly no coaches really where I live. I'm a coach though. Happy to coach myself but I like to hear various concepts and ideas from others. I'm more than educated enough to pick and choose the info that makes sense to me. I'm intrigued on the ideas others present, which is the main reason I asked. Often it's just to see if it lines up with my own thinking on the topic, or if not, gives me something to look into :)
@@scott-richardson this dude literally says that usain bolt was smaller than most of the guys he competes with. I would steer clear bro
Your right to a point but i do think you underate maximum strength production which can help from 5-30m and possibly even top speed but you need high end velocity to accomplish so
You don't need to be a body builder but sprinters will hit the weight room pretty regularly.
@@paxundpeace9970 read my comment more thoroughly
It's not just about maximum strength tho, it's also about how fast you can apply that strength which is known as power.
You are wrong. If you do some research of sprinters the olympic class sprinter are heavier than those who do not have that level. That means that the more muscle the more potential you have for sprinting fast. The problem comes that coaches really do not know how to develop sprinting speed. If you notice there has never been any olympic sprinter at the olympics that was not fast before. All of them at their teenage years were the fastest on their school or town. That tells you that coaches do not know how to make someone faster they only take guys with good genetics and train them and make them believe that their program is what makes them faster. No. Those speinters woulve gotten faster doing whatever program. Is still not discovered how to make a human develop sprint speed. Thats also why sprinters peak at 23-25 because thats when the body stops developing naturally. And coaches do not know how to make them faster after their body stops developing naturally. And thats why they turn to steroids because they do not know how to sprint faster. Its not that the added muscle is counterproductive no. As long as you know how the new muscle and the new strength convert it to sprint speed is fine the bigger and stronger the better. But coaches do not know how to do it. Fat is evil in sprinting. The less you have the better.
in the study your sighting they were referring to the normal population and female athletes... I referred to sprinters vs bodybuilders. Even if that study did help your case it doesnt mean anything for sprint speed I have too much athletes running sub 11 under my belt. And too much pro coaches I know personally like les spellman who dont have jcked guys and his fastest guys are leaner and more elastic-driven. Im talking about mass of olympic and pro athletes (hundreds of guys Ive seen) , I dont care about some random study of 5-10 guys that didn't even prove a good point in the first place lol
@@justjumari i never talked about a study of females. I said a study of male sprinters and they compared same height sprinters and noticed that the elite sprinters were heavier. I dont care how many guys you have running under whatever time you have. If you do not know how to make someone 30years old that his best time was 12s on 100m go to at least 10s or less you still do not know how to improve sprinting speed you just think you can. Everybody can train humans with great genetics for sprinting to run fast. But whoever makes someone sprint fast who wasnt born for sprinting is the one that really knows how to make someone fast. Right now youre just guessing and you have to accept that.
Matt Boling is plenty strong watching him working out with weights. Lots of sprinters looked like trimmed down bodybuilders to me, I guess it takes various body types. Looking at muscle-bound Mike Tyson you wouldn't think he had the speed of Bruce Lee. BTW, you need to maintain good muscles in your old age. Journal of Gerontology, "people with low muscle strength are 50 percent more likely to die earlier."
All those athletes you named are gonna die early because they're on steroids though 😅
Thanks for these tips my guy.
yooooooooo goood looks
wouldnt lifting heavy increase overall force production towards the ground, given that ground contact time and form is not jeopardized?
@@goon8319 appreciate it bro ty
Overal force production doesn’t transfer due to velocity 99% of the time
As long as you get to lifting around 50 -80% bodyweight it is good.
Force is really important for sprinting.
It’s not that sprinters don’t have mass they just have it in the right places. They don’t have bulging pecs or biceps because those don’t do them any good but I guarantee their shoulders, glutes, and hamstrings are proportionally as big as anyone’s. Even tiny dudes like Laird and De Grasse have some pretty impressive delts and posteriors
Still no where as big as any non steroid professional bodybuilder and especially actual bodybuilders and powerlifters. They are small compared to what people think it is doesn’t matter where it’s placed
These sprinters are jacked
Great content. When I get down to 75-76kg I’m waaay quicker than at 80kg ( I’m 1.81m )
Let’s do it then!
i almost height as usain bolt height
I'm 1.68m 65Kg and I have destroyed everyone in my country with barely training. 113cm vertical jump
@@mcmerry2846 How old are you?
It’s the power stored in their tendons and ligaments that makes sprinters fast. Arm wrestling pros exploit this as they are capable of beating opponents more than twice their size. Power is within the connective the tissue that binds our muscles and bones
Although sprinters are leaner and smaller they are extremely strong. Most female sprinters can squat 300 lbs male sprinters 400lbs and also they don’t do ass to grass squats that kills your speed. On the flip side weights do help if you look at Sydney and Allyson Felix they got in the gym and improved
true .. but one thing is incorrect . Long tendon they found in studies is good for jumping , and short tendon is good for sprinting . also higher arches feet vs flat feet , high arches are great for sprinting and also martial arts kicking and stability , and flat feet are not .
Bolt's weight was 94 kilos :D which is crazy . Tall Lewis was 188 cm and just 81 kg :D . And Carl Lewis was so athletic and I wound't have anything against that I look like that . But it's impossible to look like that all life . Sprinting is just short phenomena , your peak is at 26 yrs old and you are going down later . Some rare athletes can keep it to 40 even , but those are rare . Being taller than 190 cm is detrimental for explosivness and being massive too . Bolt is just exception of the rule , one in a billion . for all of rest of us , 175 cm -190 cm range is the best for sprinting and all power sports . 190 + cm is great for 200 and 400 m sprinting , boxing , wrestling - anything that involves more cardio , taller people have advantage in lung strenght on paper at least . we see that in boxing , K1 , mma all the time .. best champs are 188-196 cm tall monsters . 100 m sprint , Bolt is just exception of the RULE and rule is that optimal height is around 180-5 cm , short tendonds , stiff , power athlete with lots of good genetics . sprinting 100 m and swimming 50 m is genetic more than any other sports , because rare are the people with fast muscle fibers 80:20 . But you can improve a lot , I am 100 kg 188 cm white guy 34 yrs old , and recently easily beat my friend who is 28 yrs old , 90 kg mass , 184 cm tall . I left him 10 meters behind me at 60 m sprint . we done 5 sprints , 5 minutes rest between . all 5 I won , and he is very similar genetics to me - average sprinter , he is not cardio machine nor sprinter elite genetics . But I was in sports all my life he was not . I developed abilities in proper age when was the key window to develop it and later in life you just cannot do it . Same genetics for sprinting , and I left him behind me 10 meters ! I keep 1 to 2 training per week , more is not better with sprinting . I do ton of swimming , martial arts kicking etc so even 1 sprint training per week is plenty . 5 sprints , 5 minutes rest between , all out sprints , that's what elite coaches say it's good , they even say 10-15 minutes rest is better .
Bet!
Best video so far. Good asf
Let’s do it thanks bro
Lot of info in these vids keep going bro
Thanks bro !
Good video. At one point you mention lifting at no more than 50-65% of body weight, then later on you said 50-65% of 1 rep max. Was that intentional, or should we be using the body weight percentage instead?
for most athletes who can lift around 1.75x their bodyweight, I would suggest staying around 50-65% of their bodyweight when they lift snd focus on driving the bar up as fast as possible
@@justjumari thanks, great advice!
Limb length to height ratio and center of gravity make a difference too.

Ur super right great vid !!!!!
Took me a solid minute to realize the background track was pumpkin hill
I don't understand 100% because I don't speak English well, but in short, if a lightweight person can use more power than a heavy person, does a lightweight person get faster?
Hi I have a question. I ruined my explosiveness and ability to running fast with stupid havy squats and bench press. My max strenght has been increased a olt, but i am really slow now. What shall i do to become faster, is it even possible? I am 1,9m and 90 kg, i was much faster when i was about 85 kg
It’s definitely possible, you for sure loose some body fat and check out my ig page
That might just be how the body works unfortunately. More overall strength, less power. More explosiveness, less overall strength.
I'm just starting out and am not familiar with sprint talk. What is one RM? Joint angle specification lifts? Lateral strength? etc. etc. You need to dumb it down a bit for beginners.
Half truths. A quick look into Ben Johnson strength program would be the complete opposite of this information. He was a monster in the weight room.
bolt was a huge dude.
calling him small is a clear indicator you don't understand biomechanics.
first off biomechanics is based off movement, gait cycle, and anatomy. That has nothing to do with muscle size so that made zero sense. but he was no where close to any real bodybuilder he was had big arms and shoulders for a track athlete
@@justjumari muscle size does play a role in biomechanics and why are you comparing athletes with bodybuilders in the first place .think about the strong men that Bjorn dude is like 6'8 300lbs but there anatomy hinders thier biomechanical ability that Eddie fella penguin waddles his way around .
@@cellion5598 You are agreeing with the points I am made in the video. too much muscle can hinder you. Thats why I said olympic sprinters are much smaller to bodybuilders because once you take on that much muscle mass of a bodybuilder you end up loosing alot of function.
@@justjumari you said 'you' in title, assumin we are bodybuilders , its okay to clickbait a little, we arent gonna put you in jail man , getting so defensive about it
Adding size at a certain point will affect muscle pennation angle, and therefore change your biomechanics, and potentially make you slower.
At at a certain phase for sprinters, they need t do near maximal strength in order to produce force. I know it’s not all the time, but once in a while max strength is important for sprinters right?
Sure trapbar deadlift would be my go to for about a month
@@justjumari Why just a month?
@@neothagreat12a months isn’t good once a week is good because that that point you would lose the muscle you gained from that session a month ago
How much should I eat. I usually eat well, I don’t focus on nutrition too much but I make sure to eat real food than processed. However I be craving and sometimes binge eat.
Look up Jeff nippard !
Only the real ones know about the instrumental in the background 😂
That Sonic Adventure 2 baby!
1:52 caught me off guard 😭😭
I like how the thumbnail says no muscle, but clearly he does.
My friends: this skinny guy can’t run for shit
Me: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
Boling is 6 foot and visibly very muscular. Not a small man by any means to an average man.
i watched this on two times speed pretty cool
People saying that 100m runner are muscular and long runner are not this is because when you train anaerobic exercise like 100m which is high intensity under 3min in this process body take energy from glycogen.but in aerobic exercise more than 3min exercise you have enough oxygen so your body take energy from your body fat .that why they are smaller.
What do you think of someone like Walter Dix or Harry Aikines-Aryeetey who has a myostatin deficiency?
Great vid👍
Thank you !
Boling isn't small. And Usain is a big boy, he's just lean.
You must be real skinny yourself to say that.
idk i feel like i cant be explosive when going 80% of 1RM. feels like a slow struggle set
Yea, just lift that shit as fast as you can lol
What about 800m and 400m mid distance stuff you think I need muscle
It also helps a lot if you can trace your ancestry from West Africa.
True they have the best genetics on the planet for fast twitch muscle fibers
I had this question pop up in my mind…what if I only sprint train and train my legs for power and strength and I never train my upper body,will I get faster? because my upper body will have less mass
My upper body muscles like the core and stuff will naturally get stronger because my legs are running faster and my body will have to adapt to the speed and eventually I’ll build muscle without me having to separately train them,and I’ll not have any useless muscle mass on me.
Idk if my theory is the best that’s y I’m asking ya 😭
@@zannon7You should strength train avoids using weights. Stick to calisthetics (Push up, pull ups, and squats) and sprint a lot. Also focus a lot on core. That’s all you need
There are still built dudes like DK metcalf. It honestly just depends on what helps certain players
I get what you're saying, but look at Fred Kerley he's a big muscular guy and is insane in the 100, 200 and 400?
Body build plays a role in it too
Wow I guess I said every single Olympic sprinter in the world is smaller*
Tell this to Joseph Fahnbulleh. Guy is 6'2 and weighs as much as Bolt. Runs 19.8.
wdym Usain Bolt is a lot smaller than a lot of people he raced bruh, Usain is literally 94 kg 195 cm and compared to a lot of other guys hes has a higher bmi and higher ffmi , like he literally has built more muscle than 95 % of natural bodybuilders , what ur saying doesn't make sense at all tell me one guy apart Yohan Blake who has more ffmi/bmi than bolt
i calculated 1kg overweight is approx 0.1 seconds slower in 100m. It could differ for faster athletes or bigger/smaller than me.
Sitting in a call center while training for calls, I once got into convo with a stocky Mexican guy and asked “Would you rather be FAST or STRONG?” He thought for a bit and reported replied Strong. His build was 5’10 and 200lbs , not fast but able to lift Alot! I on the other hand, possess that sprinter type build- slim and with Bruce Lee type reflexes. Since online dating became the norm, the term “athletic” has been reimagined to mean his body type in the drop down menus and females now consider athletic to mean someone stocky and hulk like. However, I tend to think of athletic meaning someone that can MOVE they body EXPLOSIVELY quick and usually these people aren’t all that blocky and built like a bull but rather like gazelles-built for speed not labor. Like a workhorse body versus a stallion body. Sad thing is, with regular clothes on, females can’t tell an athlete from a regular dude, that’s why dudes lift for bulk to “look” “athletic” but not be a real athlete.
agree! i don't think the bulk is attractive, i like the lean type
This is so true.
I feel that
This is a MASSIVE oversimplication on the topic. I understand the point but highly in accurate
I ran 11.7 , do you think I can run sub 11 by 18 ( I am 14 rn)
Yohan blake looks like a bodybuilder
Some people are different but it’s better to be lean and slimmer as a sprinter
Suits me. I love plyo and hate weights. I'm naturally low body fat but still nearly 200lbs at 6'6" so I can't afford to gain mass. 😂
Am I too heavy? I am 185.7cm/89.2kg, is that too heavy for sprinting? BTW I am Taiwanese.
depends on bodyfat but you could lose at least 5kg imo.

thank you very much
I’m relatively skinny I would say (have some what vascular arms 🤣) but I have a bf % of apparently 21% , therefore if I got to 11% - 9% without losing much muscle , or even in the long run have more muscle mass, would that mean my sprint time would increase by 1-2 seconds maybe more or is there a different calculation?
Nah you could gain a lot of time just getting lower in body fat
Contrary to popular belief it is actually possible to gain muscle and lose bodyfat at the same time. Up to a point of course.
Why do you need to train lateral muscles for sprinting?
Your whole body needs to pull itself together
Me watching Jumari call people with 3 times as much muscle than me a twig
Did you ever had a good look at Bolt? Saying that he's not big is not true at all. He is extremely muscled........
I’m currently in High School and run a 10.57 at 5’10 - 5’11 at 175 lbs. I’m not sure about my body fat percentage but I’m pretty vascular throughout my upper body. Do you think i should try to cut my weight down by 10 or 20 pounds?
The Jamaicans lift less & run more. I guess if you lift, like homeboy said in the video, lift for explosiveness. So keep sprinting & allow your body weight to be good for you, whatever that is.
Why cut weight? Are you fat? I don't think so. Just gradually keep getting stronger, avoid injuries and keep training. Also, make sure you've got proper nutrition. You don't need to lose 10-20lbs, look at Yohan Blake for example. He's around your size. Never give up on your dreams! You never know, your hard work will open many opportunities in the future.
Trust me man you are fast trust what you are doing now and make sure you are eating good and getting rest
If you cut that much weight you would also be losing a lot of muscle.
Nah you gotta look at from body fat not pure weight from the scale, everyone else is right in these comments for sure
Makes sense
Yep!
I want to be a football wr what do I do cause we need speed but also size
I think my strength index is good for lower body but not for upper so imma do more velocity based on lower body and Lil bit strength of upper body

I attend track meets at NY Grand Prix ever year. I think you’re conflating long arms and lanky build and low body fat for small. Most men in 100-400m have more muscle and size than the average man. Usain Bolt was about 6 5 215, Matthew Boling is 6 foot 180 plus, saw him in person. Lyles and DeGrasse are some of the only “ small” men.
If the guy on the thumbnail has “no muscle” what does that make me 😭
I hit the like button with my thumb 😈
Dude sprinters are actually strong and are muscular. Wallace Spearman was real slim though, but still fast.
Ok so I need to lose weight and not focus on getting stronger but focus on being explosive every time 👌🏿
Power to weight ratio. Strong in key muscles
Facta
Tbh I think Usain bolts physique looks better than a weight lifter
Yea he’s aesthetic not big tho
I diss agree first of all Bolt is not small he was just taller so his muscles were longer. Yes sprinters need to be on the leaner side but there are power sprinters whose muscular ability improves their speed i.e Yohan Blake and the current world 🌎 leader in 100m Ferdinand Omanyala.
That's cap...DK Metcalf is 6'3" and weighted in at 235 when he raced those Olympians and he gave them a run for their money. Muscle only slows you down if you train like most modern day bodybuilder do or if you acquire that muscle through the use of high doses of steroids 💯
There’s a huge difference between running a 10.36 and under 9.8 lol.
Andre degrasse is tiny and toned but very fast,😮
Most sprinters are pretty muscular
Bolt is smaller than everyone he races against? The dude is 6'5 nearly 210 lbs. Most of his competitors averaged 5'11 180 lbs, except powell who was 6'2 running around a ripped and jacked 195 to 200 lbs. Linford Christie back in the day was 6'2 210 jacked pounds. Donovan Bailey was 6'1 200 lbs
Weight/Power ratio is what it's all about.
Yohan Blake is huge bro lmao
