Close to a 20yd dash PR and 9 foot 1 broad jump at 6'0 and 222.

Matt do you have a job

this is actually really unimpressive. why would you even brag about it.

Bloated, maybe even steroid using person bragging on a forum about running.

Good for you i guess.

I would be much more impressed if you had a sub 16 minute 5k than all of that.

Don't knock the legend!

What's your 10m dash hand timed?

Matt,

Many people here are not familar with what a good broad jump distance is. Why not try the long jump. You think you can jump 22 feet?

I bet he can't jump 16 feet

Can t wait for the 15 yards dash and the double jump...

One of my favorite posters here.

The "so bad he's good" poster.

Keep on rocking baby, we love you!!!!!

the run-up portion of the long jump is too long. distance running destroys the body.

Pretty much every natural powerlifter is bloated a bit. I wasn't bloated in 2020 when I was 205-210 lbs but that was too light for me and I pretty much ran the same times and jumped just as far but was weaker in the gym. So around 220-225 is exactly where I want to be so I can lift more in the gym.

Here's a vid from 2020 when I was at 205-210. Yeah I look better but not as strong.

It's good for me. I'm very close to PRs in everything right now. Just need to watch my weight a bit, crank up the gym workouts even more, and I might get a PR in the broad jump and 35 yard dash this year. We'll see.

My weaknesses are squats. And the muscles surrounding my knees from way too many years of distance running destroying the power in my tendons surrounding my knees....I can't really squat that much in relation to how much I can bench press. My bench press is way better than my squats. I pretty much bench more than I squat right now.

So need to do more leg exts among other things I guess with higher amounts of weight to try and fix that. Very slow process though. I might be lucky if I see a 5lb increase in some lifts over the course of the year this year.

I basically did everything backwards my entire life. Everything I did was counter productive towards each other.

Such as doing distance running or 400s from 1993 to 2015. I think it was 2003 or something that I quit the distance and just focused on 400s from 2004 or something till 2015. So 400 and below from 2004 till 2015. But that whole time I did the counter productive thing of doing heavy powerlifting and always trying to gain weight for lifting. So the gaining weight thing never allowed me to reach my full potential in the distance events and 400s.

Then at the same time the other side of that was the fact that during that same exact time period the 400s never really allowed me to reach my full potential in jumping, sprinting, or powerlifting. So both of them were really canceling each other out.

So then by the time 2015 came around, i've been doing only 60meters and below, but i'm left with basically no power for sprinting or jumping. I'm debating what I could have ran the 60 and 100meters in if I would have just stuck with 100 meters and below from 1993 till 2015 and the heavy powerlifting. So basically all 10yd dashes, 20, 35s, 40s, and 60meters.

Sucks that I can't go back and do it again.

So yeah this is actually really impressive to me. Maybe not to you. But to me it is.

Have any NFL teams contacted you?

You need to squat more and complain less about what you were doing in 2015.

That has nothing to do with distance running. It has everything to do with your focus on vanity exercises and meaningless measures of progress. Double the amount of time you spend on lower body lifts, spend half as much time on upper body, and the “problem” will correct itself.

Specific. Adaptation. to Imposed. Demand

Not a surprise, but good for you for finding out what works and what you enjoy. But this is a running website and message board. Most of us enjoy the sport of distance running and wish to promote it and share our experiences.

Given your many sumo deadlift videos I would say the muscles around your knee are just fine. Given your form on those videos I would say you just don't know how to squat properly. Don't you also do hack presses? Don't you also bench out of some machine?

Alan

You should never 100 m all out! Maximum you should run is 30 yards.

How can your 20y sprints average slower per 10y than your 10y sprints? The 10y has a good deal of the acceleration phase and therefore has to be slower.

World record, 12'3" Byron Jones 2015. Looks like flexibility is a key to big jumps.
