Can anyone here run a 400 faster than 57 seconds at a body weight over 190? Sucks when real athletes show you all up huh?

matt, the lighter guys could wear a 40 pound weight vest and still smoke you. Do you see that?

There cannot be this many guys on letsrun 5'11 7/8th" 189.9 lbs. who can race 400m faster than O.P. Most on lets run never have broken 60 seconds for 400m. All of a sudden, hundreds of guys are faster than 54 seconds 400m and over 190 pounds. I do not buy it!

Holas Matt! I noticed you only bench one arm on a smith machine in your videos. Is that another (incredibly pointless/niche/useless) unofficial world record you're trying to break? 205lb on the smith machine. WoW! One day I hope to be able to bench half my body weight on the smith machine!

Hey Matt you could give some of the middle schoolers down the road from me some stiff competition! Congrats!

He's pointed out many times his other arm is disabled. The dude is a trip, but can't ridicule him too much for only having one good arm.

Jesus, dude. Stop it with the fixation on height and weight classes in running. You're worse than the JS.

He is inadvertently bringing up a very good point. Track and field has men/women categories so why do they not also have weight categories ? There is in fact no justifiable reason to not have weight categories while there are actually very good reasons to have weight categories such as:

1. Psychological abuse of women (and men though to a lesser extent) runners as happened with Alberto Salazaar would be much reduced.

2. Track and Field would become much more popular with the general public - look at how sports such as boxing or ultimate fighting have flourished with different weight categories.

3. More people would have an opportunity to compete at the highest level.

4. The running shoe industry would be able to cash in even more by developing futher shoe types for different weights with different cushioning, carbon fibre plate tensions, compressed air pressures etc.

Other Olympic endurance sports such as rowing have weight categories so it is about time that track and field including distance running brings itself up to date and introduces weight categories into comptetition.

You are chubby, this thing you're fixated on year over year gives you a chubby but you're still fat and slow.

WTF is a 400m time going to even do for anyone? like "lol" you can outrun no animal that wants to eat you and then you'll be toast in 401m. There's nothing to be gained by talking about an obscure slow time that you set years ago whether it was accurately timed or not.

400m running is a joke much like the xfitters you worship.

Cooper Williams runs 45 at 190 pounds.

I'm pretty sure that malady extends well up his arm through his neck and into his brain cavity.

I am 1ft 6in tall, weigh 850lbs, and ran 400m last week in 47.12. This is true.

come back matt, we had so much fun laughing at you

Fred Kerley is listed at 6’3” 205lbs, that’s 15 pounds over and 14 seconds faster.

Matt fits the profile of many LR posters who can't stand to be presented with facts.

In that video that was posted, there's a part where he runs past someone who is walking by the side of the track and the speed of the video alters, it's noticeable, it looks like the video has been doctored (sped up) and then when he goes past someone it is slowed back down to normal so it's not as noticeable that the speed is different. Can anyone else see that?

It's at about 1:10

Doubt it. Dude doesn't even know how to edit a video to cut off the extraneous parts. I think he just uploads it straight to youtube.

Is a 54+ second 400m (he starts the timer after he starts running) something that requires video trickery? He wouldn't make the 4x4 team at most high schools.

but he’s so much smarter than us. see that??

Matt, I used to be equivocal about your posting, but you’re getting a little out of hand. Not only did I personally go well-sub-57 at 192, my heaviest ever, but a guy who was 195 beat me. And I was not dedicated to sprint training, but to multi’s.

And a guy I used to train with who was anywhere from 198-212 went sub-57 in training, 2 years before he ended up playing for Seattle.

You need to get real. Like me, you seem to be a solid 2nd-tier athlete—but that’s it. And there are lots of us, who never really say much because we spent life around 1st-tier guys.

You aren’t raising yourself up by trying to put others down. Nobody here even cares about being 190lbs, in fact they try to avoid it. Nor do they care about sprinting.

Everyone is laughing at you. You should let your excellent physical exploits do the talking.

Byw i am 5-10, the other guys were 5-11

That's nice. No really that's great.

Yet again another thread on a forum supposedly filled with " athletes"...

Yet nobody here can provide one simple youtube video of their claims.

I mean why can't some of you amateur runners that are above 190 just go to the track today and film it for youtube?

It wouldn't be because you actually can't now would it?

There's a reason why the top 100 crossfit athletes in the world can't even currently run 57 or better in the 400.

And I don't expect anyone here to be able to either.

But wait. I have an idea. Keep coming up with stats and numbers and not actual videos.

That makes sense.
