hey what's up eveyone morey croson here and we have another new breakdown for you today it's
going to be on Usain Bolt in his 150 meter dash Lee did back in 2009 and we're having
a little bit of a different format here for the video today I like many of you guys out
there are constantly looking to improve and you know want to be somebody that practices what I
preach and so you know trying to do that within the YouTube channel here by making the overall
experience better in actually watching the videos like and subscribe here and let me know what you
think about you know the new format I'm looking to probably use for all of our breakdowns going
forward going here and we'll hop right into the breakdown with you say bolt so you know big thing
with Usain Bolt when you watch him run I mean he just has such a beautiful stride and if you want
to look more about into his I shall start just because the angle here is just not a great angle
for the start position but as he goes through you know it really stands out is he's just so relaxed
he's in no hurry at all during that drive that praise he's just consistently going and getting
that full extension look how far back he's able to get with his whole leg that's a big advantage
of him being six five is he's able to get that foot all the way back behind him there I get so
straight and then from there he pushes up he drives his knee through I mean he's doing it
obviously very fast but he's also doing it very very effortlessly you can see you know the guys
that he's racing like as soon as they get back you know they try to push up and they have to drive
their knee forward and through as much as they can and even here you can see you know he's getting
his hip a little bit further stuck behind him and not really being able to touch the ground with the
knee as extended especially not as extended as you know Usain Bolt he was able to get a lot of
extension in his leg as he's pulling that foot back underneath them and that's super important
he's just going through his drive phase right now you know he's transitioning from his Drive phase
to his top-end speed phase and you know you could really see as he starts to open up that he has
just such a unique ability to be able to get such a large push off with his leg back behind him but
then still has plenty of time to be able to drive that knee all the way back up and through and then
extend the knee and then pull back underneath them and this is where it really worried gets so much
overall power from is because he's so far off the ground that is able to cycle that leg through so
nice and smoothly and that's where again he's able to really separate because once he starts
doing that and starts opening up and and you could see how relaxed he is in his face as he's doing it
because to him it's almost effortless you know he's just going and getting that full extension
both on in the backend mechanics and and that's where he's such a unique athlete is he's great
with from the backend perspective when it comes to sprinting as well as from the front-end mechanics
you know you could really use both of them as a blueprint for how to sprint as a you know somebody
that wants to compete on any any level 100 200 400 any of those you know he has a great mechanics for
that obviously when you get closer to the 400 you end up having a little bit more backside mechanics
but he has such great backs up mechanics Eva for running for about 400 and you know it stands out
is when he's landing he just does a great job of landing with the ball of his feet he lands with
those toes facing fairly straight ahead and he's just very quick and being able to get the foot
back off and that's just because he does a great job of landing basically right underneath his hip
right so I see a lot of guys that will land with their feet really far out in front of their hip
and then they have to go and transfer their weight and then by the time they transfer their weight
you know that now their foot is so far back behind them that it messes up the overall leg cycle and
makes it so that foot contact time is just way too long and developing force where he's really good
at being able to develop that force very quickly but look at how vertical he's getting in that push
off so when he's pushing off he's not wasting any of his time because you know there's long legs it
would be very easy for him to have a lot longer contact time with his feet but because he's able
to get so vertical with his push off that makes it so he's able to transfer those legs through
very very quickly and and have that great turnover then and move his legs as fast he can it all comes
down to its ability from you know being as tall as yet he is having that great contact time and
the reason he is able to had that great contact time is because of how well he's able to cycle
those those legs and feet through as he's running and very little wasted movement even within the
upper body you know he kind of leaned side-to-side as he's going to see one shoulder go a little bit
a little bit lower and that's fairly normal especially you know as you know you're you're
transferring your weight from the outside part of one foot to the inside part of that foot and then
vice versa outside for the other foot that your your legs are or you sorry your arms gonna end up
kind of staggering a little bit there but overall you know you once you want to have good lateral
stability in the side part of your body and also a lot of looseness there within the shoulders and he
does a great job of getting those elbows all the way back to the same height of the shoulders and
just maintains you know that that high level of speed the whole time never looks like you stress
he never looks like he's even really trying it just is very very relaxed the entire time that
he's running which is you know different not everybody's gonna run like that Justin Gatlin
you know he really stresses in his body as he's running and he's one of the best printers in the
world as well so this isn't the only way to sprint and and the same thing with the shoulder Rock you
know like you know Usain Bolt is able to have more of a shoulder lock or rock as he's going you know
somebody like a Tyson Gay or Justin Gatlin those guys do not do as much of that that children lock
as they're running they're they're pretty straight within their shoulders as they're pumping but
it's a different athlete who's trying to utilize different parts of their body therefore muscular
you know Tyson Gay it is very very defined down low and so he's really trying to maximize his
power production you know in that area and so you know he doesn't have as much freedom of
movement as Usain Bolt does where Usain Bolt is able to be a lot more free because of his size
and stature and things like that so everybody's gonna end up having some differences within their
sprinting mechanics and I love to see you know what you saying both does just because it's super
informative for us to be able to understand okay there here's a framework of how to do you know
some some friend mechanics what's really good from a front-end mechanics standpoint and then
also that back side mechanics and being able to you know combine that with the great contact time
that he's able to do and even the you know great transition timer or the time that he spent off the
ground I mean he just does a lot of things very very well and that's why he's the best printer
that we've ever seen so you know I've done a lot of Usain Bolt breakdowns just cuz I don't know
if you could ever do enough just because he's so great at what he does and he my respect for him
and only you know more more success in future you know future greatness for forum because I think
that he only has more that he's gonna be able to contribute to the world so if you guys like
this video you know like and subscribe like I said and we also have some some cool offers down below
with our suite breakdowns and with our 7-day speed trial so if you guys want to try that out go ahead
and click the links below just because I mean the 7-day free trial speed trial is free and I think
it would provide a lot of overall information a lot of understanding for you guys and so I think
that that would be a great idea for you to join at seven days speed trial go and click the link below
or their speed breakdown breakdown just like this about or of you running and how you can improve
