Came across this video on youtube. Very Impressive , and just about the most legit way you can film yourself doing a time trial. Kinda ruins it by flopping around like an idiot at the end.

I agree, very impressive. Lots of people can do one or the other, but very few are capable of both at the same time.
Yep, that’s great.
I ran a 4:58 while squatting 425. I think my max was around 455, I am sure that I could not have gotten 500.
Poor guy, he is good at multiple things and great at none. Welcome to the club?. No prize other than admiration from the rest of us in a similar situation. Heck, I’m down to 350 and MAYBE 5:00 if I’m lucky! Good for him??
What’s his 5k time??
this guy is a specimen. looked smooth to the end. have to imagine he is easily a sub 4:00 talent.

What? You were on a sub-20 5K over age 50 thread several weeks ago. If I recall, you cannot race sub-19 5K but you can race a 5:00 or at least 5:15 minute mile now? [If someone says maybe 5:00 if I'm lucky, it implies 5:15 mile for sure.]

Ah yes. It is as if aging and the passage of time does not occur. There's no way that a person could have run faster in the past than they can currently run.
No, I did go sub-19, but I have no idea what that would translate to for a mile.
I am guessing that I could go maybe 5:20-5:30, but honestly I have no idea about pacing. I would probably run a pedestrian 1410m and then burn the last 200 in low-20’s to make it seem like I went fast?
not even in the same planet as sub4

sure. he's 215 lbs with very little run training.
u troll or insane?
what do you think his potential is? im talking about if he quit lifting weights, dropped 60 lbs and focused on running for 5 years.
when he was 20
Muscle loss was a huge factor for me improving my 5k. Extra muscle is useless. You distance guys, imagine running around with another 50 lbs.
I don’t know what his time was, but I would guess that if it was 5:00, he could reasonably get to 4:30 based on solely a significant weight loss. It’s a huge deal.
his potential is nowhere near sub4, but you're the 'coach'. what's his max potential?
sub 4 is not that rare. you are talking as if i said he could be an olympic champion. im not gonna assign a number, but he clearly has outlier talent.
im not a big guy, but at 5'8 and 150 lbs, many on here would call me obese. i feel okay enough at this weight. the rare times that i go up to even 160, i feel it in my running A LOT. can't imagine another 50.

This is pretty absurd. Sub-4 is very rare. How many kids run a sub-4 mile each year? I just read that less than 1,500 people have ever run a sub-4 mile. I don't know if that's true or not, but if the order of magnitude is correct, then it's extremely rare. You tell me some accomplishment or event that only 15,000 people have experienced that is not extremely rare.
I'm pretty sure that more people get struck by lightening each year than the number of people that run a sub-4 mile that year.
are you even a real coach?
wiki says 240k/year lol

i will revise to 4:10 then. but there are somewhere around 25 new 4:00 milers in the US every year. Take away the word rare. The definition can be changed according to context. Like nobody would say that guys who score 20 points per game are rare, but yet, just making the nba is actually "rare."
so what is his max potential khorrps?
