You say all your warmups were measured in yards. Did you run 60y instead of 60m?

Timed you at : 7.87/7.82/7.85.
You're not fast, You're not running a 4.19 40, that would be a combine record by .8 of a second. Here is the record breaking 4.27 for reference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDzFfpg68cI got 7.35 by timing the point where my right foot leaves the ground. You're timing it on the rock back motion.
Oh my GOD. You actually clocked yourself in a 7.35. And your ADMITTING IT in a post, in writing?!?!?!? This is EPIC.
If you're starting the clock when your foot leaves the track, then a 7.35 actually confirms a 7.7ish maybe 7.8ish time based on proper, true, first movement. So you actually validate his time claims. Your rocking back and forth bologna is ridiculous, and somehow you use it to mask from yourself how slow you actually are. "Slow" being a relative term, but I use it pointedly here because you always inflate your results out of ignorance and thus deserve the jab.
If you were to record a 60m out of blocks, and use the video as a "timing device"/pseudo FAT system afterwards to you see what you ACTUALLY ran your 60 in, I would predict you'd end up getting a result in the 7.8/7.9 range, AT BEST. Unless you measure short/wrong on the meters or you get a big gust of wind on your back, in which case your time would inevitably be a little better.
This is your TRUE ability, Matt. Reality hurts.
You'd likely get better results if you trained a little better and focused a little more. But your "I'm a special diamond on the rough" fantasy would be rendered mostly obsolete regardless.

No this is 60m.
Monday I'm going for 450 on paused hack squats for 1 rep at 6'0 and 208. Which will be a ratio of 2.16 times bodyweight.
Just need to get that to 470 for 1 at 208 pounds which will be a ratio of 2.259 to see another huge improvement in this. By my calculations if I can go on a hack squat PR streak again I should be able to go well under 6.97 by the way that I hand time myself and get at least 6.87 or below. But not till late Oct.
Either way as my body continues to adapt to being a sprinter by next year i'm looking to make another .15 of a second reduction on this. Like I said before i'm still in recovery mode from distance running and 400s from 1993 till 2015 so it takes a bit to completely switch over to being a sprinter.
The one good thing about not doing 400 meter dash training before the gym is that i'm not doing crazy all out 4 by 200 workouts exactly 35 minutes prior to going to the gym. So I actually have some energy to lift heavier and heavier weights.
Normally under 400 meter dash training I wouldn't have the energy needed to lift the weight needed in order to increase power to weight ratios in everything to become faster because of the lactic acid accumulation effect and buildup and from just how hard 400 meter dash training is. So what the short sprints are doing are allowing me to just go to the track and run some 10s and 20s and then go to the gym with tons of energy to get the weight up that I need to get up.
But getting stronger is a slow process for me and I might only gain 15 lbs on hack squats per year some years and only 5lbs a year on bench press.
Man, if you take hand timing so seriously, you could buy one of those ring whatches/finger watches. Nick Symmonds uses it on his 100m challenge video.
I think it's the most accurate you can get at hand timing.

Why don't you go for a PR at 5'11 or 6'1?
I agree Matt should sign up for the titan games. I actually think he can win it.
Clearly you are strong and fast. Looks like 8.5 to 9 second 60m though.

What's the advantage of it?

Also, is it suitable for autistic pretend athletes?
If you haven't got an auto timing system it would be more accurate to film at a distance from the side with a flag marking the finish, then time from the video.

Right. I'll have to get someone to film my 60 next time from the side and out of blocks. I'm doing the 60 again in a week and a half so we'll see how that goes.
New PR in the 10 yard dash today of .72 at 6'0 and 209. Previous PR was .78.
And then after the 10 yard dash PR. I ran another PR in the 20 yard dash of 1.93. Hand timed. At 6'0 and 209.
Previous PR in the 20 was 2.00 hand timed. Was stuck at 2.06 for like 8months or something though.
410 lbs bench press equivalent for 1 rep at 6'0 and 209. PR! This is the equivalent of a 410 with a bounce.
But i've tried 5 lbs less than this weight on this machine not too long ago and couldn't even get it up with a back arch. So this is by far a PR on this. My power to weight ratio just keeps getting better.
This is getting mind blowing that i'm getting this up at this low of a body weight right now. But it's all matching up. The PRs i'm getting in the gym are transfering to the track.
Did this after running PRs in the 10 and 20 yard dashes.
The math on the machine works like this. It's 145 lbs of weight on the machine. You times that by two to get 290 and then you add in the standard 120 to get 410.
This matches up well with what I can do on the smith machine because just last week I did the equivalent of 340 on the smith machine for 4 reps after alot of other stuff. One more rep and that equates to a 400 bench or more. And i'm being conservative on the estimates here because I don't want to over estimate this. And the conservatives are because of the way i'm using an elbow out technique and the way that the smith bar I use bounces up and down like a rubber band with weights tied to the end of it bench.
Like I said before I went head to head with a steroid user powerlifter on another forum and he struggled to beat me in the one arm bench press competition we were having in this thread and barely got up 205 for 5 because he has a 5 rep PR of 360 for 5 . The 205 translates to 175 of real weight for 5.
Now the goal is to get this to the equivalent of a 426 bench at around 209 pounds body weight to finally get over that 2 times body weight factor.
And as well as focusing in and really going all out more on obliques and abs to reduce the fat around those areas to increase my power to weight ratio for the track.
I still have not had a good chance to get some broad jumps in after a good track workout because i'm always in a hurry to get to the gym after the track workouts because typically i'm always running late. So hopefully all of this adds up to another inch or two to my broad jump and hopefully I can get it to 9 feet 2.
We will see.
