Asafa looks more like a rugby player than a body builder. Still a big man though
Aikins Aryeety is the one that looks like a body builder the most
its you again
Asafa looks like a sprinter.
A couple seasons Asafa looked a bit big but for the most part he was a lean machine
@@wss33 but rarely sprinter looks like him. Since he’s tall, he don’t look bulky.
Aikines is literally MADE IN A LAB. What the hell is that, seriously. More testosterone than a bull.
Most Often Sprinters are naturally gifted with excellent muscular physiques. Additional body building is not how they look at or approach training. They already know that more muscular bulk causes constriction and unnecessary mass and Ultimately causes slower movement.
Its insane that that muscle is pretty much natural for em
@@glywnniswells9480 it isn't? If they didn't train, they wouldn't have those muscles
Try again
@@ywoulduchoosetousethis Try again!? Lol YOU try again Rookie.i know whereof I speak. Was a successful sprinter throughout high school and college. I am abundantly aware of what it takes. BEFORE steroids and performance enhancing aids.
It comes down to Love of the sport, dedication and hard work ethics. Stop hating on these athletes. Ultimately it's the HARD WORK they are more than willing to do that enables them to reach plateaus heights and Contracts most of us can't-Recognize that. Give em that. And stop the criticisms.
@@ywoulduchoosetousethis
Nawwww-wrong! The rookies and pundits among us always negate and minimize an athletes Love for his sport , and that athletes hard work ethics and his/her Dedication to excel to the top of their athletic craft. They'd rather hate on them denigrate them and reduce them to a drug addict. When in fact they have demonstrated a history of pure HARD WORK , LOVE and selfless DEDICATION for their sport. Ya' know. Those qualities do exist in athletes. Stop the hatred.
Sprinting is the most accurate test of total fitness.
That would be rowing actually
Decathlon is the most accurate test of total fitness, 10 disciplines, most of which performed at a level which wouldn't look out of place in the actual events themselves.
Not true sorry. According to me 400m/800m sprint should be test for fitness or speed and enduring.
@@dhnsh1843 800m is not a sprint.....
@@dwendel8v
Yes upto 400m it's sprint. Many can finish 100m but not all can run 10000m. That's why 400/800m is better test.
I forgot Blake was still jacked, they don't call him the Beast for nothing
Blake really isn’t large at all imo.
Beast because he was running fast like animal
@@mssha1980 In the later years of his career Blake put on a lot of weight.
@@yennox5338 nah not really. He’s still relatively slim.
@@mssha1980 He obviously doesn't need to be...
Ben Johnson, linford Christie, Donovan Bayley, Maurice Greene, Dwain Chambers, Bruni Surin, Asis Sakaria, Shawn Crawford...
I like how people talk about genetics and how natural gifted those sprinters are. Funny thing...
That’s what I thought 🙄
Naturally they natural on Peds lol
I mean it's true they are naturally gifted. they are the 0.001%
You really think if you took roids you'd be as fast as them? 😂😂
@@Southpaw88 You say, naturally gifted and in the sams breath they so naturally gifted they use peds. What is sad is how only certain individuals are singled out when all of em are using peds, however anyone with half a brain knows it takes more than just peds to be the best in any form of the sport but these fools make it appear its just a matter of using peds which is why x beat y.
@@ace_gainsventura_flexdetective that's my point. whether it's all of them or a small minority what we can all agree on is that if you gave everybody on earth the same PEDs and workouts they would still come out on top because they are that 0.001%
You forgot Maurice Greene, he's stacked!!💪🏾, Shawn Crawford and Ryan Bailey too....
Yea they were jacked as well.They should do female version next.Jeters was jacked💪💪
Alexis butler, Ryan is not that very bodybuilder looking, he is just huge & tall... I prefer Justin Gatlin who looks more ripped, still part of this generation & still among the dust feeders
I am impressed by a female so knowledgeable about men track and field
@@youtubestreetz4201 Lol Our black Queens run track 2 my brotha 👍👍🙏❤
Yeah Greene was 180 5 foot 9
There's a tipping point between having the right amount of muscle x speed. If you over do it your top speed decreases. It's difficult finding the right balance. A sprinter that stands out the most to me, and I know he's been injured is yohan Blake. Imo he's too top heavy now. Rocks around to much at the 80 metre mark now. But might also have been the injuries lasting affects.
Without his illegal drugs he could be less heavy… 😬
actually its not difficult. in the shown clip they all got big heavy muscles which decrease speed.
@@MrSuicidesilence91 it is tbh. There's no special formula. Nobody knows there tipping point to knowing when they are too bulky x with their age, training regime methods, dealing with injuries. But like you said, the best indicator is the stop watch
@@tati1422 😬
That Kenyan guy running 9.86 was great. Kenya don’t really have many sprinters and this guy is a standout. Like that Kenyan javelin thrower
Look like a bodybuilder, but won’t die at 35. Best of both worlds.
Bruh these guys take drugs too
@@vintagejock3951 They don't blast tren lmao, most of the gear they use is for performance and they are on 10× less dosage than bodybuilders, and even then not all of them are on gear, Olympics is heavily drug tested
I still believe Asafa Powell has the greatest physique of all time. Super long and lean, not too stocky or thick. Long legs, he’s a specimen.
And geared up to the gills. Still impressive humans though.

@@AlwaysMoore I'm not hating one bit but it's worth noting, the same is on the flip side, athletes that cheat want the world to see them as this innocent hardworking role model that achieves these remarkable feats simply because they were born gifted and capitalised on it. You can't tell me that sprinters in the Olympics that have been caught using PEDs are competing against clean athletes.
@@AlwaysMoore 😂
@@AlwaysMoore by any chance is it hard for you to spot someone who's clearly juiced up to the fucking moon
@@wariret8866 Yes I can easily spot Rookies and pundits that know nothing about what they are spouting off about. ☝🏾
sprinters are always crazyy strong all sprinters would make great fighters
Fantastic
Gives me hope that being at ~90kg isn't necessarily a reason why I cannot continue to run fast. I'll lean out as the season goes on and drop to 87-88kg. Still solid at 183cm.
Wow! juiced up guys have big muscles... brand new Information
Until Bolt came along I thought that Powell was the anatomically perfect sprinter
He is. Asafa is perfectly designed for sprinting.
Who told you bolt was perfect. The man literally lacked a perfect form. Meanwhile Asafa, had perfect form l, but lacked a good finish. Michael Johnson once said that if bolt had a good form, he could have gone faster than his world records.
He still is it's only that bolt was a freakishly fast
Like others have said, he really is. Donovan Bailey was built the same way. Most tall people can't produce the leg turn over Bolt does. Not just in sprinting but in all sports. The fastest people on football soccer and baseball fields are typically under 6'3. The same can be said for basketball players fastest and of course sprinters. They're also not usually super muscular. Powell and others like him combine the best of all worlds. Bolt was an anomaly.
Honestly Powell could have achieved more.
Something wrong in the antidoping control…
The only one that was looking extra strong was Harry. The rest are typical elite sprinter types.
Imagine being a fast twitch genetic elite built brute jock machine with incredible speed
that would be nice. you would be able to outrun, outkill people and outfuck bitches

@@josephmargaryan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AlwaysMoore true, most of the top sprinters are lean, some muscular but not bulky or should I say too bulky.
Ben Johnson 1988
Google algorithm brought me here to say two words . Bruny Surin
It’s dem strong west African genes boy💪🏽😉
Omanyala is from Kenya, an East African 😜✌️
@@maruornamwamba yes all Africans in general, we’re all super athletes but for sprinting it’s more common for athletes of west African descent to be top sprinters
*steroids
@@maruornamwamba he is probably from West African ancestry
@@Rs9z. East Africans are not built for sprinting at all really, they are better at marathons and quite skinny. Ferdinand is an exception. I also notice he is Bantu so that might play a role. Nilotes and Horn Africans are not really known for their muscle mass
Jared Connaughton should be on this list. Canadian Olympian in the 200m and 400m relay with a 100m PR of 10.15.
This just proves it’s all about genetics 🧬
😂
@@CryptikStudios it's true lol even with peds or roids if u don't have a high amount of fast twitch its pointless
Aikines is absolutely massive.
Harry AA should have choosen to be a bodybuilder..
Andre De Grasse is the least stack sprinter that can propel his body with such force, it is all about physics, the Skeletal framework allow muscle to propel you against gravity, just standing up straight takes muscle and brain power to accomplish, to sprint at that speed you have to apply a force against the ground the more force and the faster it is applied give you speed, just like a piston engine
Ironically..the fastest sprinter in history (Usain Bolt) wasn't "stacked".
Ironically the fastest creature on earth (the Cheetah) isn't the most muscular.
Strange isn't it?
Not really, lol. No one would expect Thor or The Mountain to tear up a race track.
@@k.j.6998 I would like another analysis if you have one, I love differing views on how sprinters and athletes in general are analyzed.
Cheetahs aren't the fastest on Earth, just the fastest on land. Birds in flight are still "on Earth".
@@vsmith3rd true..but I thought since the channel was discussing runners that It was kinda obvious that i was referencing only creatures propelled by kegs...not by the force of gravity.
However can you show us the muscular Peregrine Falcon...??
@@JappaKneads 2 legs not four
As a competitive runner of any kind, you want to minimize any mass that is not helping you run better.
Unfortunately, that often includes upper body muscle.
Fortunately, you don't need Olympic levels of running performance to enjoy running. You can be muscular, fat, skinny, whatever you want, and still find joy in running. Life is not a race or a competition. Find the balance that makes you happy.
so how are they so big while being fast?
It good to have strong muscles but it's better to have speed and train for speed because you are not in a bodybuilder contests your are springing
Exactly
I mean sprinting
@@anthonybaker1737 I know
Most Often Sprinters are naturally gifted with excellent muscular physiques. Additional body building is not how they look at or approach training. They already know that more muscular bulk causes constriction and unnecessary mass and Ultimately causes slower movement.
To achieve maximum speed in short periods of time (10 seconds for example) you need ATP as well as Creatine Phosphate. Unfortunately Creatine Phosphate can be stored in larger quantities only in larger amounts of muscle mass. So no - sprinters are not bodybuilders but they need muscle mass to store more Creatine Phosphate which I turn makes them faster. It's all about finding the optimum balance between large amounts of muscle mass and perfect sprinting technique and legs turnover.
Juiced
The title should be "when sprinters are on steroids"
Aryeetey hasn't won an Olympic medal yet with all his muscles
Yeah big muscle’s doesn’t equate to speed
He's still faster than most people on the planet though.
The first one has a Sergio Oliva type build.
Yohan Blake is a beast!
No one seems to be mentioning the obvious
Most of the all-time elite sprinters weren't built like bodybuilders. A majority of the all-time greats were well-built but not overly muscular. Patellar-tendon reflex, fast-twitch fibers and overall skeletal structure are more important than huge muscles!
Lol tell me you missed the point of this video without telling me 😂😂😂😂
Lean and powerful explosive legs like Deer or Antelope should be focus. These people make themselves like huge bodybuilder too much heavy legs and upper bodyweight .
Which explains why all olympic gold medal winners weren't very muscluar
Top sprinters except Yohan Blake whom I would say was somewhat at the middle of the scale are never bulky.
Omanyala has no consistency at all and that makes his 9.77 seemed more like luck. Aikines isn't really that good.
The current top spinters are built very similarly to Bolt, just that they're shorter, i.e. Lyles, Tebogo, Knighton and Simbine.
🤩⛳👏🙌
Great video and we also have
Ben Johnson
Shawn Crawford
Linford Christie
the great 110 hurdles runner David Oliver !
Yes and maurice Greene too!
@@alexisbutler4239 damn right , I forgot Maurice he also had a muscular body !
I almost gave the exact same comment !. I just saw this.
@@timn4481 wow 😅
David Oliver's shoulders were just insane
Seeing them so jacked puts me in doubt about their drug use
superhero style
Where is Maurice Greene and Ben Johnson in this video?
And then skinny Andre De Grasse arrives and beats all of them!
Was he the Italian dude?
👍👍👍
Daryl BROWN
It is really powerpack
Imagine getting hit by one of them at top speed
A-train moment
When people want to follow a work out routine just ask them "Do you want to look like a sprinter or a marathon runner". This will dictate everything.
Stack like the Canadian sprinter who won an olympic medal and was caught taking steroids. Maybe the athletes on steroids made sure he would be caught.
Why do I get Armored Titan vibes
They are more agile than bodybuilders
Charlie Francis predicted this
Is Ryan Bailey the heaviest (103kg) to break 10 seconds?
Yes he was according to what I've seen. There is a video on heaviest, lightest, tallest, shortest, youngest, oldest ect. to break 10 seconds.
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 would love to see the heaviest to break 11 seconds. I know American football and rugby have quiet a few
Asafa is the best for my for ever.Johan Blake is amazing!
Vit S!
Linford Christie in his prime tops all these guys for muscle size, he was enormous.
he was. no one knows this though lol
his body was phenomenal. I remember watching him in 1996 when he got DQ'd for breaking and he pulled his bodysuit down and his upper body was insane.
Not necessarily. He was taller than most of the guys on the list and had longer muscles. He was jacked but not more than say another gentlemen who ran for the UK in the 2000's (Dwain Chambers) and Christie wasn't stocky either so you can't say these shorter stockier guys are small in comparison because they're pound for pound bigger than he would be if he was shorter with the same body type.
The more muscular ones aren't really that fast are they.
DK Metcalf is another. Hard to think of another so fast at such a huge size.
He's more a football guy though. This video is for sprinters and the slowest on this list ran 10.08. Metcalf's PB is 10.37 or something like that. He's not fast enough to be in an elite sprinter video.
that kind of bulk can tighten you up - maybe ease of weights and see what happens, some sprinters use little weights
That makes no sense. Being tight doesn't correlate with having lots of muscle, there are bodybuilders who have earned incredible mobility through their training.
What about Christie, Chambers, Michael Johnson, David Oliver?.
nice 😊
but I mentioned Ben Johnson !
You said Michael Johnson !
Imagine this dude chasing u on street
You admire pharmaceutics
I was expecting Blake to be on here but at first I thought fundellah was a built sprinter guess not
Bolt should be in here he’s very built for a guy that’s 6’5
This should be entitled why sprinters are built like sprinters. The training regime which sprinters put themselves through causes their bodies to transform into what is required for their particular genetic makeup to run fast as a professional athlete.
No it shouldn't they look like body builders with low body fat.
Matadi is probably the most aesthetic, Aikines pecs looks like they are weighing him down
My first time seeing him, his legs are freakish
Yeah, Aikines looks like he was drawn by Rob Liefeld, but most people would agree that, out of the ones in the video, Powell has had the most aesthetic physique. And other sprinters that I think could rival him or even beat him are Sven Knipphals, Usain Bolt and maybe Filipo Tortu, plus hurdler David Oliver, all much more lean than Matadi while fairly muscular.
Fred Kerley ia missing here
Problem with Harry AA is he was too heavy. He had potential.
I believe that the problem with HAA is that he is too quad dominant. While he is indeed very well built and lean, he is too very big at slightly less than 90kg. Have you seen the way that guy power cleans for someone under 90kg and his vertical jump? That's very powerful quads! Sprinting is glutes and hams more so than it is quads. Having an excess of quad dominance, while it make one a very explosive jumper and help with acceleration will limit top speeds... Yes, probably if he reduced his weight by 5 to at most 7 kg, he'd be slightly faster, but anything more than that given his physique would weaken him too greatly to be faster...
@@musafawundu6718so what exercises make your glutes and hamstrings stronger for sprinting
Linford Christie is missing
Roids are an amazing thing!
Roids are a hell of a drug! 😃
Harry aa trains at my club
Aikens-Areety is way too big. He looks like someone on steroids. His size certainly has not done him any good.
Gh?
They have ripped bellies because of the drag that a big floppy belly could caused😂
He trens hard
Mo greene & shawn Crawford should have been in this

No that's hate. There's no doping in high school. It wasn't during my time. That's hate to assume that these athletes don't LOVE the sport and purely WANT and truly DESIRE to Excel on their own merits. WITHOUT artificial aids and/or dope.
I've seen many athletes and have been an athlete that excels on Love for their craft , Dedication and HARD WORK. Which is "dope" to a gifted athlete. Natural organic body supplied , body manufactured endorphins. All because it's truly a joy and body supplied natural
" dope"" to Excel. It IS simply HATRED to assume and believe ALL athletes use dope... Or even want to use dope. Stop the HATE.
Everyone knows having too much muscle as a sprinter is no good it’s too dense makes u heavier n it burns up too much oxygen so it fatigues u faster..
Sprinters don't need oxygen lol it's anaerobic
@@joedagg4495 sure

Just food and training stay hydrated 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no no drugs involved certainly 🤣why until the 60 s they had very different physiques
Asafa doesn't look like a bodybuilder. Almost perfect physique but not very bulky.
There's are slimmer bodybuilders who compete for best aesthetic physique or something. There's a category for the slimmer guys though and Asafa would fit right in.
True, look asian runners,they have more muscles than majority of asian. (That not easy to get muscle for asian)
poor Ben Johnson...
Pretty sure they are all enhanced athletes.
All natural athletes hahaha ans these guys aint close to body builders Physiques. Unless u referring to mens physique category like mens boardshorts /bikini.
The racism is in excellent shape in America. For those that don't know as a sprinter you train to reach short distance in a small amount of time using every muscle in the body. Yes running utilizes every muscle in the body. Ask the questions of why cross country runs are so skinny. Longer distance burns more fat and muscle
Jason Smoots………
Who thought adama traore would show up here?
Me
Yeah this guy can compete in beachbody that's about it.
Asafa powell is not very big. Someone like Nesta Carter would have been a better pick.
He is tall, that's why
@@timmy4312 part of the problem, bodybuilders are usually not very tall.
Outside of Aikines none of those guys are big. Just in really good shape with a low body fat percentage
Matadi weighs 100 kg lol. His quads are massive
Most Often Sprinters are naturally gifted with excellent muscular physiques. Additional body building is not how they look at or approach training. They already know that more muscular bulk causes constriction and unnecessary mass and Ultimately causes slower movement.
@@emilstorgaard9642 the quds are actually useless for sprinting, you mean those beneath the quads?
@@timmy4312
That'd be his hamstrings I suppose
Only Carl Lewis was kind of skinny
Muscle is the only body tissue that moves you. Muscles use bone to leverage off of but you can hold your breath to run a 100M and you dont need kidneys and liver to run. The idea that being lighter helps you go faster is stupid. You dont have the same "engine" at the lighter weight. There has to be a balance. If You dont want to be bulky, stretch.
Body builders cant move becauae they flex for hours in a mirror, not because muscle cant move.
Yes muscles generate the force, bigger muscles have the potential to apply more force. But speed also takes into account contraction speed and bodyweight. Olympic weightlifters for example have the best average vertical jumps of any sport because of their power to weight ratios. The fastest cars have the best power to weight ratios.
Personally they look weird when running😬
Say it with me now:
“St…ste…steroids”
