Bolt's Greatness: Proportionally Longer Legs

Whenever I see a guy with a sixpack who doesn't seem like an athlete, NEXT.

Yes, the long torso of MJ. Do you think longer legs are more advantageous to shorter or longer distances? I actually don't know myself.

It's not legs that matter the most it's feet. You can have the strongest legs in the world but you will not be able to sprint fast if your feet can't handle the power needed to move the legs and rest of the body. The amount of energy going through Bolts feet would give everyone on letsrun a 10 week stress fracture in their feet.

I don't know if you're serious but I partially agree with that. Do you think he has special ankles/feet or is it just a matter of the training?

I don't know if he does I just know speed is all in the feet. I am serious, you are only as strong as your weakest link and feet are the start of the kinetic chain. If you injured your feet but injected them with anaesthetic so you couldn't feel the pain you'd still not be able to walk and if you could your ankles and shins would become destroyed soon after.

Somewhat legit! Commonly said for grip strength for lifting too.http://imgur.com/a/W9Mlg
