If I run 10.9 hand timed in the 100 at 6'0 and 205, how would that compare on the hybrid athlete scale?(Adam Klink)

Here's the link to Adams 500 squat and 4:56 mile in the same day...

But sprinters normally lift weights and some can squat 500lbs.

Honestly this wouldn’t really be that impressive. For one, hand timed 100 times are complete and utter horse crap. For two, many sprinters spend a ton of time in the weight room. It would not surprise me if many elite 100m runners could squat > 500 pounds.

You are not a 11.66 F.A.T. 100m man today. If you were, considering your age & weight, you would be also a (54.5 to 57.5) 400m man. A good 400m time but I do not believe equal to 4:23 one mile.

That would depend if it is actually something close to a 10.9 hand time, or about 11.2 - 11.3 FAT. An 11.3 100 is always more impressive than a 4:50 mile, as for a 500 pound squat that would depend on what your weight is. If you are 200 pounds it is very hard. If 170 you are pretty much elite. If you're like 230 - 240 pounds then it's a reasonable goal depending on your leverages.

A hack squat is much easier than a full squat.

I doubt a lot of sprinters can squat 500 pounds. Squatting is much different than sprinting, especially a parallel squat. Maybe half squat 500 pounds with good speed.

We will find out where i'm at in the next month in the 100.. And yeah I ran 53 seconds in the 400 at 6'0 and 214 lbs in 2013. Which had to rank up there pretty high on the hybrid athlete scale. Much higher than Klinks 4:56 mile at 215.

If I run 10.90 hand timed then by my hand timing you have to add in .76 to that... So that would come out to 11.66 FAT from a standing start.

I won't count it though if there's alot of wind. I should be close to that on my first run. I think I can at least do 11.13 on my first 100 this year and then hopefully get it down a bit more over the next two months.

I just need to reach a certain power to weight ratio on hack squats to get it. I'm very close. Probably about 15 pounds off to be sure.

Right but in comparing me to non-myostatin deficient athletes such as Klink and the majority of the crossfit world, then how do I stack up?

I'm not talking about your myostatin deficient pro sprinters because it's not fair to compare a myostatin deficient athlete to a non-myostatin deficient athlete such as me.

Klink went below parallel on his squat. I don't think i've ever seen a sprinter squat 500 below parallel. Typically because most sprinters are between 162-189 lbs... With the few exceptions of Bolt who was supposedly 205 but that 205 didn't seem to update for years so who knows what he really was. Yet wasn't he 6'5?

That's not alot of weight for 6'5. So even if they are over 200 then typically they are too tall and too lanky to ever attempt that amount of weight below parallel because you would need to be short and stocky to get that type of weight up.

Also most sprinters don't need to squat heavy to run fast.

Not to mention that i'm doing this around 21-27 lbs heavier than my ideal weight for my height.

If you take a look at any Olympic decathlon and take a look at the heights and weights of athletes you would see that Trey Hardee is basically the heaviest decathlete in the past decade at 6'5 and 210. Yet that's not alot of weight for that height.

My ideal sprinting weight would be right at 183 lbs at 6'0 tall. So I think there is a huge under-estimation of how hard it is to sprint when weighing 21-27 pounds heavier than the weight that your body frame is meant to run at.

Take a look at the decathlon and look at the weights of athletes at 6'0 tall. They are 168-185 at most.

Kevin Mayer is listed at 6'1 and 170. The taller you are the more space you have to stack weight.

A couple other guys actually tie Hardees weight of 210 but they are all over 6'5. Now that I checked the 2012 Olympic decathletes.

So if I can even come close to approaching decathlete speed in the 100 at a full 205-207 lbs at only 6'0 tall then this would be really cool.
