3.68 in the 35 yard dash at 6'0 and 215 LBS. PR. Hand timed.

Still no reason to strain up a shaky hitching rep. That's not effective training.

I always wanted smooth power-to-spare on training reps.

So basically you can't run an impressive 100m so you try to impress/fool people with your personally timed 35 yard time? Okay, got it. You're just another gym bro. But hey, you could probably impress a lot of women (if you're not too cocky or insecure) because most guys are losers anyways and you could be ahead of that bunch just by having ambition.

To be clear, no one on earth matches the quiet insanity of Matt effin London.

According to Trey, " Gotzis is where the worlds best athletes come to play." He even tries to get a bit of a little attitude in this video. Very cute. Thinking like he's so tough or something.

Yeah Trey is so tough. So hardcore.

That's why a nobody like me is basically roasting him in the overall athlete category.

Gives a whole new meaning to the definition of there's always going to be someone bigger, faster, stronger, and HOTTER than you.

Here's some training updates.

585 for 1 on a stiff olympic barbell at 6'0 and 216.

Equivalent of 620 for 1 on a texas deadlift bar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yMo8gBvlfI

You got 585 up, with straps and much hitching. Worthless when I was powerlifting.

I used to do it for 6 reps at 214, smoothly with no straps (same type of bar).

You talk about going over 700. I can tell you that there is a huge gap between 600 and 700.

I did 600 for laughs many times over many years, but only briefly peaked at over 700.

The problem people have with your claims is that there are so many disclaimers and conversions involved. For example, in reality, you simply can't bench heavy weights.

At least 19 people out of 20 would find Trey's physique more impressive for what that's worth.

Run a FAT 60 or 100m to gain any sort of credibility.

Oh wait. My bad. Just found out that Trey doesn't bench 365. It's stated all over google and his instagram that his PR was 340. Damn that sucks.

LOL.

I'm going to crank it up a notch and really " dig deep" and get my bench to 445 at 6'0 and around 217 pounds body weight. I really need that 105 pounds more than Hardee bench press.

Except you can't really bench...

It is nice to focus on rivals (real or imagined) for added intensity.

I think you should attempt the pole vault to compete with Trey.

This combines short speed and athleticism and should make for a good YT video.

Two things you have to realize strength isn't everything when it come to athleticism, as an athlete it doesn't matter If your strong enough to deadlift 600 if you aren't powerful.

The second thing is that athletes don't train for absolute strength optimally nor do they have the optimal bodytype for strength, if they did they would lift much more weight, but they would be slower.But pretty much all throwers, and Olympic lifters over 170 lbs can lift 585, while still be pretty fast and jumping high.

Strength, speed, power, endurance agility, and more factors determine athleticism.If you only have strength, but sacrifice all other attributes you aren't much of an athlete.

It's why something like the decathlon is pretty unique, and it's hillarious to hate on the people at the top of that sport.

It's pretty much impossible to combine:

100m/400m/1500m + 110m hurdles

which are all almost completely different from eachother anyways ok fine, overlap between 100 and 110 hurdles so we are slightly preferring fast twitch here, also that should carry to the 400 then there's the 1500 which most decathletes aren't particularly good at precisely because the events selected here prefer a fast-twitch runner, a fast-twitch runner will always outscore a 3:50 1500m guy who will crush decathletes by a minute or something, but they arent going to keep up in the sprints.

then the jumps:

HJ, LJ, PV, favor fast twitch yet again obviously, but the PV favors a more well rounded athlete whatever that means

and the throws [shot/discus/javelin]:

favors an upper body strength person but also one with a strong throwing arm

So generally speaking, a fast twitch athlete has most of the events covered already, but will have to do the work in the gym to get enough pts in the throws for a good score. But the more work you put there the more it tends to hurt the track events. It's a balance.

Hating on those at the peak of this sport that have found the balance and stood on WC/OG podiums is asinine.

That said, I applaud the brand of trolling that is going on here. Kudos.

Also if thats really ML, I think he's in great shape

Also because I have to state this in every thread. I'm doing that 585 with a completely crippled right elbow that's broken in over 10 different spots from a gradual elbow break from baseball and tendinitis. It's an inch smaller than my left arm and doesn't even lock out completely due to gradual overgrowth of bone.

But yet i'm still deadlifting more than basically everyone in track and field. Sad.....

Do the "conversion" on that.

Still no reason to strain up a shaky hitching rep. That's not effective training.

Hardee beats me in the 60, 100, 400, and jumps. ( Only due to having more years of sprint training than me)

I beat Hardee in the shot put, javelin, 800, 1500, 5K, 10K, marathon, ultra marathon, bench press, deadlift, squat, basically everything else in the gym which is really extensive.

And I totally beat Hardee in the hotness category. I mean it's not even a debate on that one.

Looks like I win.

Hardee would smoke you in ANY event in the track or roads!

What are your current times for 400, 1500, and 10k?

Also on another side note. Notice how i'm literally not even mentioning any other decathlete? See that?

Why would I? Hardees the strongest decathlete ever and not even him can compete with me.

I'm not even going to waste my time mentioning the other 98 percent of histories decathletes and their weak 275 max bench press PRs like Eaton.

Just ran 7.12 in 60 meters at 6'0 and 216 pounds. In 46 degree weather. Hand timed. Add in .76 of a second to this to get a more accurate FAT time.

But also subract .21 from it to equate for not using blocks. Wind was right to left at like 7-16mph it seemed.

Just ran this on wednesday.

I already went through the calculations last year on how much i'm slower in the cold in the 35 and up and it was exactly .21 of a second slower.

So not only doe that mean this is a PR for cold temps below 49 degrees. But it's the equivalent of 6.91 which would break my PR in warm temps from 2020 of 6.94 hand timed.

So that means the equivalent of 6.91 equates to 7.67 after adding in the full .76 of a second to make up for how I hand time myself and then take that 7.67 and subtract a conservative .21 from it to get an accurate idea of what this was FAT.

So it's now right at 7.46 FAT at 6'0 and 216 pounds. Damn i'm just too hot. So pumped about this right now.

And not only that but also breaking my PR in this at a body weight over a full 10 pounds heavier than when I ran that 6.94 last year at 6'0 and 206 pounds.

Also forgot to add in that this was the second 60 that day exactly 16mins after the first one.

I wasn't able to get the 7.12 on video because the wind blew my camera to the side right before I ran it.

So this one was the second 60 which was 7.22 hand timed.

Also came very close to breaking my PR in the 35 last week again.

Ran 4 by 35 yard dashes with 3 to 5mins rest time.

Ran 3.69

3.72

3.77

3.78

Zero wind. Once I get a decent wind I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be in the 3.56 range.

Just need to keep cranking it up at the gym to get it.

Do the 40 like football players. That time might have meaning to people. Could you outsprint DK Metcalf in a 100? In a 35 yard?

Lots of PRs and near PRs!

How's your 100m doing at the moment or do you not really run that any more?

Thought the above video was going to turn into a strip tease at one point TBH..

So basically what you're saying is NHL players who bench less than 283 pounds are scam artists? Wow that's really cool.
