christophe came 2nd, very good result. The plank forgot to bring his spikes to the comp though so they had to hunt around and buy him a pair that wasnt in the right size apparently! LOL. He definetly did not have a good start to the race atall, hes gonna have to do better there. His last portion...

i'm well excited, come on christophe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just read this HGH and sprinting article everyone at track been talking about and mentioned on here. I've seen the proper study and its comical stuff! Complete bull. Pretty sure they used a wingate test over 30seconds and made an estimate off that to give 0.4 seconds off 100m sprint time HAHAHA...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDE00vdxMds Good on him for standing up to them, spitting on people is standard from muslims in UK. Aperently they were causing trouble for hours before it was filmed. For those who might struggle to understand his accent, he says " how many is there of us?", i...

very good points being made, i wasnt aware of this guys sudden increase in size. DHEA would indeed help with loss of libido in athletes on steroids. I'm more suprised that he was bothering with roids tbh as there soooo much other stuff right now that 400m sprinters could be using at the moment...

Theres a lot of flaws in that study you posted WL, not to mention the very poor use of classifying it as an anabolic steroid.... but anyway in young healthy men it does not provide a hormonal based advantage and the further raise above already healthy levels of DHEA does not lead to increased...

I would love it if they sorted the Jamaicans out, it's like east germany!

I might get some abuse for this. But for once I will actually half defend an athlete on this one. Does anyone here know what DHEA is (what he got banned for), it does absolutly nothing for any athlete and can only demonstrate effects in old men (plus 60). It shouldnt be on the banned list atall...

what craig is doing is bang on IMO, and i personally think he should open the outdoor season with some 200 races instead and then start the 100's later on aswell. Its going to be very exciting to watch. This years outdoors is surely going to be the best! Edited by: Flash

thanks for the ideas , think i know how i'm going to go about things now :)

Not sure whether this was best suited for this section or fitness bit but here goes anyway. i have been told i have problems with my "Ankle stiffness" despite having a very good strength to weight ratio. I understand plyometrics must be useful for improving this. Im planning on changing my...

man getting proper positive vibes about how this summer might go.. seriously can't wait.

sorry i havent psoted recently guys, been stressful times lately and been lazy with a lot of things. Heres a link (hope it works!). These sort of journal articals are best for seing the situation clearly as they have to be written with no bias. Hence you might notice that black athletes also may...

holy sh*t, o my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they made a flow chart style thing at end about stereotypical influenes on white sprint performance, went like this Socio-economic advantage Wider socialel opportunities elsewhere Under-representation in sprints Exposure to black athletic media images Negative physiological stereotypes Lack of...

just realised i've only manage to access this sort of things because i'm logged in via my institution. Sorry guys, i can email you it if you want, theres loads of articals and studies on this. Or i can show how to access it using my credentials but you would have to promise not to mess any of my...

Introduction is pretty interesting read, basically says alot of stuff that people on this site already say and have mentioned but a nice article on the subject anyway. http://uhra.herts.ac.uk/dspace/bitstream/2299/2407/1/900739.pdf

Do you think he possibly 'psychs' himself out at the start? He always looks super agressive and tense, maybe its too much?

i think he can improve alot still, surely theres got to be someway for him to sort that problem out? What would even cause it? Is it mainly just concentric strength at this stage of the race?

was watching bits of it today, smith and gillick both very impressive. Seemed like another slow start from craig, but when you see the last 15m or so in the race his top end speed is looking very nice so should be interesting over 100m, he will definetly need to come out faster if he wants to...

Looks like when that guy falls down craig sort of stops accelerating for a tiny fraction of a second, so yeah its unfortunate but if craig is only concerned with outdoors this year it doesnt really matter too much. Just make sure everythings perfect for summer and shock them!

Interested to see how kilty progresses this year, you think he will make a better 200 runner?

Cheers WL, i just hope that not tooooo much pressure is placed on him, don't want to see any mental blocks, if he gets this sub 10 i can see others finally making it too. I was absolutely gutted when he bombed out of worlds last year.

been scanning this site on and off for quite along time now, i'm with master as in i don't neccesary agree with everything i've seen written on this site. Great to find a place to find up to date info on a lot of athletes you don't hear too much about elsewhere. Had to make a post after reading...
