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

Also forgot to add that to get this record with so many negatives going against me is really cool.

I calculated all of the negatives that night.

They were.

1. I ran this PR a full 8 pounds heavier than my ideal running body weight of 206-210 in July-November of 2020.

2. I never get personal records this early in the year. I usually don't get my PRs till Oct and Nov on any given year due to the way my training program is designed.

3. I'm about 20lbs off of my max potential in hack squats per body weight ratio. Meaning that my PR at body weights of around 215 in hack squats is 475. I'm right at 455 right now paused at the bottom of an Icarian hack squat machine with no knee wraps. I get exactly 80lbs more up at the top of the mat but no longer do top of the mat hack squats. So whatever I get at the bottom add in 80lbs to what I could get at the top. So a 455 becomes 535 at the top and a 475 becomes a 555 at the top paused.

4. I never get PRs in cold temps of 62 or below. I need 93 degrees and humidity.

5. I ran this after the gym. I usually never get PRs after the gym due to being too tired after the gym.

6. I had zero wind. Usually to get anywhere near my PRs I need some type of tail wind. Usually it's over the limit but whatever, I never run into head winds. I test the wind before each run and usually have to switch sides 5 to 6 times during some workouts.

7. I didn't come out of the start good on both 35 attempts. My form is usually never near perfect this time of the year due to taking off usually all winter for sprinting.

8. I'm 41 and i'm now literally running somewhere like .46 of a second faster than my average times in this in 2015. And doing this 100 percent natural. No steroids or anything ever.

9. I did way too many 10 and 20 yard dash warmups in this. I wasn't even thinking about running 35s till I saw how fast my 10s and 20s were going. Then decided to attempt a 35 seeing that I was near PRs in both the 10 and 20.

The only positive I can think of was that my calves are getting alot stronger. Power to weight ratio is going way up on calves and hips. That and I closed the captains of crush 2.0 hand device the other day for like only the 5th time ever.

I ran 6.94 in the 60 last year hand timed and 6.97 a d 6.97 but all of those runs were done when I was around 3.78 to 3.87 speed in the 35 I think. I don't think I ever got a good chance to run the 60 when I was at 3.69 speed last year because I was only running the 60 literally like 1 time per month on average.

If I can get my 35 down to 3.44 or in the mid to upper 3.4 range to 3.58 range consistently then I don't see any reason why I couldn't do a 6.72 to 6.83 hand time in the 60. IF I did a 6.72 hand time in the 60 then that is right around a 7.47 FAT in the 60 after adding in my standard .76 to my runs which then is right around 11.48 FAT in the 100. Which means I should be able to run a hand timed 100 exactly .76 of a second subtracted from the 11.48 FAT which comes out to a 10.72 hand time. My fastest hand time ever was 11.32 from 2013 which is a 12.08 FAT.

I'm also being reserved with these times which is why i'm adding in a full .76 to each time. Blocks would give me a decent advantage but i'm not adding in that factor because I don't want to be over estimating these hand times so i'm doing a bit of an under statement.

Really need though a 9 foot 1 or 9 foot 2 PR in the broad jump. Going to see if I can get that in the next few weeks.

215? Dang Matt ... step away from the Krispy Kremes.

This makes no sense to me. The second 10 yards of a 20 yard dash should be faster than the first. Do your 10 yard dashes start with a flying start?

Ran 4 or 5 runs at .79 in the 10 yard dash. My PR in the 10yds is .75.

Then did 2.00 in the 20 yard dash, which was right outside of my PR of 1.94. No wind at all. In about 62 degree temps.

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.

Why would I have to run an impressive 100? I'm already winning in so many other standards that it's not even funny at this point.

And yeah I would say running this fast at my age, height, and body weight/100 percent natural, not to mention about a trillion or so other factors including an ankle that strikes the ground crooked and makes me lose tenths of seconds per race from it being broken and set wrong, is really impressive actually.

Especially when this is only my 6th year of sprinting. I did distance running and 400s from 1993 till Jan 2015. I didn't even start running sprints till the summer of 2015.

Oh and my current deadlift right now is over 610 pounds at 215... Current bench 425 based on left arm strength. Don't even get me started on leg curls, paused smith machine calve raises, etc.

do you even lift brah?

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

matt london is what a 75s 400m /15s 100m guy with a bunch of borderline psycho YT vids?

Seems pretty strong tho. Have no idea whats going on with the BS track times. Enter a meet, FAT, the end. I already know the 400m time will be around 75

Until you run a 100, nobody cares.

Can't run the 100 until I reach a certain power to weight ratio needed to run a fast 100.

Which is why I barely ran any 60s last year. Just like one of them per month or so.

Because I wasn't even at the correct power to weight ratio standard to run a fast 60.

I'm now going to apply that to the 10 yard dash. I can't run the 10 yard dash until I get to the correct power to weight ratio at the gym to run a hand time .66. I'm only at .75 as my PR right now.

And 610 on a crippled right arm.

Wow. I don't get why they call decathletes the best overall athletes on the planet. I don't get that. Like what is that?

If they're the best on the planet then why am I benching more than Trey Hardees max PR on bench of 365? Why am I hack squatting more than Trey Hardee? Why am I smith machine pause calve raising more than Trey Hardee? If Trey is the best athlete ever then why am I leg curling more than him?

Oh yeah and doing all of this a full 10 years older at 41 years old than Treys so called peak in life at 31 years old.

But wait. My bad. Treys the best athlete on the planet. Keep thinking that.

What's Treys best captains of crush ? Did he close the 2.5? What's Treys best seated ab crunch with no arms?

What's Treys best deadlift? Oh wait. I think I know the answer to this one. No more than 475.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHH

haha

But Trey says that the decathlon is the best overall test of the human body.

According to his interview in this video.

Yeah you go right ahead and keep on thinking that Trey.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHA

Matt you have been mentally very unhealthy for a long time and you need to get it checked.

Your obsession with numbers in categories that only you keep track of (ex. the hand-timed 10m dash for people over 210 pounds), your narcissism, your fear of doing real lifts or real distances, your fear of being compared 1:1 to any person on earth, your ready-made excuses present in your own rants to yourself, etc. all speaks to a serious problem with your mental state.

Trey Hardee is like the greatest athlete on the planet. So hot. He's so strong. Yay.

A 475 pound deadlift is so much. Yay.

Matt today I did a 17yd dash out of the blocks in 1.32 seconds FAT. I’m also 6’1 174.5 lbs this morning. Do you think I’m at a good sprint weight or am I under/over?

Also I can do 310 lbs (the max weight I may add) on the seated leg press machine at planet fitness for like 16 reps. What do you think that says about my max squat?

I also get how you feel with the whole crippled arm thing. My right arms tricep and bicep is significantly stronger than my left. Couldn’t tell ya why.

I have no clue. But why does Trey think he's the greatest overall athlete on the planet? Did he not realize that there's a weight lifting aspect to it as well?

The fact that I have him beat in every single lift in the gym negates anything he's accomplished on the track.

Sad..

There's always going to be someone bigger, stronger, and hotter than you. Apparently Trey was clueless on that.

Next time he'll think twice than to walk around acting like that. I mean at least Trey tried though. B- for effort.

Oh wait. And to do this a full 10 years older at age 41 naturally than a peak Trey Hardee at age 31 who has basically given up on fitness and has told himself that he's too old.

Yeah..... he can pretty much F off at this point.
