hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have another new video for today it's going to be
really a comparison video but we're going to put a big focus on the push off when you're actually
getting your foot to come off the ground and really give a little bit more information about
what should be happening when you're pushing off so are you able to generate the right types of
vertical force and are you allowing your foot to get too far back behind you when pushing off
we're going to be doing that by giving a bit of a comparison of usain bolt and tyson gay just
because those two guys are at the top of the food chain i guess in terms of overall sprinting but
are still two very very different athletes from a height perspective and so just giving you a little
bit more detail of exactly how you want to be pushing off and giving a little bit more clarity
of some of the angles behind that push-up i think will be really really important for
you so as always if you like the information go ahead and smash that thumbs up button down
below that really helps us out a lot subscribe the channel if you haven't already and if you
have any questions comments anything like that go ahead and leave that in the comments down below
we'll go and hop in the video right now all right so we're going to start off with usain bolt here
and what i'm just going to do is i'm just going to draw a angle from when he's pushing off you
can see you know even when he's actually about to do this where the angle of his his foot when
he's about to push off and how far upwards it is right he's just basically facing straight up in
his foot as he's actually leaving the ground and you can see the angles at about 42 maybe closer
to 41 when you look at the actual you know putting the it's straight down and i'm trying to get that
that dot right actually in the middle of his hip so we're gonna go a little bit further back so
yeah it's about 42 in terms of the the degrees there and then let's take a look at tyson gay
i want to get the outside for everybody here so now we're going to go here boom now he's at
about a 36 degree angle when he's pushing off just to give a little bit of some some clarity there
and what we're going to do now is i'm just going to give a comparison you know that i was actually
getting into this conversation with a guy that was in our speed program and so i'm just going to go
ahead and show his data here real quick so looking at his numbers here we'll get again put that hip
right there all right so here we can see he's at a 42 degree angle here uh the heel is a little bit
more facing back and he's more of a tyson gay type of body type so it seems like if you're
you know somebody that is maybe under 6 2 you probably want to be below 40 degrees within that
that push off and that angle within your you know hip as you're pushing off where if you're somebody
that's over maybe 6'3 you can get into those those 40s the low 40s in terms of that number
i'm going to go and look into my own as well so i'm at about a 38 so i can maybe be a little bit
lower but i think overall the angle within that push-off is not bad 38 maybe 39 in terms of you
know that that angle of my uh back leg isn't pushing off so i'm definitely under that 40
degrees uh but still can be a little bit lower i'm six foot and so just to give you an idea of where
my hip extension is that i do like my hip extension and where i'm pushing off i think
i do a good job not allowing my foot to go too far back behind me as i'm extending and going through
i think most of my issues have to do with how my legs actually transferring through and how i land
um where i'm landing with a little bit too much of a of my foot flat and then a little bit too bent
within the knee right my foot's pretty flat there and then i have a pretty good knee bend there
so i think most of my issues have to do with that not as much as with my actual push off so i just
give you some clarity of where i'm at within that that extension had six foot i do think uh you know
tyson is a little bit shorter and i could maybe get my hip extension into a little bit better spot
but overall not bad so um yeah again when it comes to your push off you want to be at an angle when
your foot's leaving the ground if you're under 6 2 below 40 degrees and then if you're above 6'3 i
would say you can be you know into that 41 42 area uh you know the same volts 46 foot five and he's
at 42 so you don't want to get too high into the 40s for sure just don't let that foot get too far
behind you when you're pushing off that matters a lot about the angle when that foot is actually
in the ground as always we want to just provide more data more information more alternatives for
you to be able to figure out how exactly to run faster and make it so you can really use some of
the best technology today to be able to make that happen so as always guys thanks for watching these
videos we have a ton of different things for you guys available down below we have a speed program
we have speed breakdowns we do different things like this to be able to compare how you're doing
with your sprinting form in comparison to some of the top guys we do that for 40 60 100 200 whatever
ends up being the case and then we also have this speed program that comes with the nutrition plan
it comes with different motivation we have a lot of different things that we offer for
athletes that are looking to get faster as well as different free resources that you can have
access to today including five ways to improve your sprinting including a seven days free trial
and a lot more all down below in the description so go ahead and check that out if you're
interested again subscribe to the channel if you haven't already we have constant videos like this
for providing exercises we're providing ways to get faster way to be a better quarterback better
athlete motivation a ton of things to be able to help you out as an athlete so go and subscribe
down below to get started with that and as always thanks for watching we'll talk to you soon
