hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we'll be doing a gate analysis
on usain bolt and shacarri richardson and we're going to start the video right now
okay so i thought this would be cool to do just because i got a comment recently talking about
how walking could impact sprinting and you know really going in depth about you know should i
even be walking you know does that make you slower and in some cases yeah it does actually make you
slower just because if you're not utilizing the right walking mechanics it could have a negative
impact on you and you know just by watching myself and looking at how i walk i could see
some of the things that are different between you know my walking style in comparison to both usain
bolt and shacarri richardson we're going to go a little bit more in depth into that so we have
usain bolt here on the left and you know it's not a perfect video honestly on the left side
i've watched a lot of videos of him walking i just like the fact that he doesn't have any shoes on in
this video so i think that helps in being able to see kind of like how the toes are moving and more
information about the toe off and then you can also see me here on the right so you know
big thing that stands out to me about usain bolt this is when that cameraman ended up hitting him
is you know he really doesn't take long strides right for somebody that is six five he really
is pretty short with his stride i think it is really interesting and the other big thing that
stands out to me is you know he's really quick especially on his left leg watch what he does
as soon as he toes off here he immediately goes into knee bend right so see how he's
towing off that back foot comes off the ground and then immediately drives those knees through
and i look to me and look to see how i actually you know do that same thing and you know i have a
little bit more of a twist here in how i'm pushing off my foot and i definitely feel more rotation on
my left side don't have as good of activation within my like left hand string and my my left
glute and stuff like that and i you can see i lose a little bit of control of my pelvis here too
but you know you can see that i just don't get as much of a knee drive right like as i'm pushing off
my knees not really coming up at all so i'm not driving my leg up very much okay in comparison to
usain bolt especially and then we'll see on the right side his right side he kind of
twists through a little bit more again you know this is him um walking here but if you watch all
of his videos he's very similar in kind of how he walks here where he's gonna go and and really
you know get kind of a natural toe off there on the left side and then the right side he
wants to kind of almost twist that foot out it seems like we're going to go back a little bit
so this would be a good example of a separate because he's not really even
trying to turn or anything here if anything he's almost walking more to the left side
okay and watch when he pushes off with this right side here and you can see how he ends
up turning he still has that knee drive but he ends up kind of just turning out his foot
a little bit very short still with the stride but i just thought it was interesting to see that it
really kind of towed out there and the big thing that you know compared to in comparison to me
and my gait is just the knee drive right so if you're a spreader watching this i'd
say when you're walking you really want to be pushing off the ground and drive that knee up
right and not so much forward so i can see for me what i do is i almost like drop my knee forward
as i'm pushing off right where i need to be pushing off and driving that knee up
so that's something i'm going to start changing in my walk is i'm going to be you know trying
to drive that knee up and then making sure i really get a good amount of extension before
i touch the ground right because they he immediately goes into you know that knee
drive and then a lot of extension of the leg and then it's pulling back down even before his foot
hits the ground right so you want to make sure that you're getting that extension in that leg
and landing right up underneath you now i don't necessarily know if you want to be a little bit
quicker with your steps i might try to quicken up my steps a little bit but that also seems like
something that could be beneficial for you real quick before we go into shacarri richardson's
gait analysis if you like the information so far go ahead and click that thumbs up down below
subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and if you're any questions comments
recommendations you go ahead and leave those down below and we'll hop right back in the video okay
so we're going to do the same kind of comparative analysis here between shacarri richardson this
time and the big thing that again stands out look at look at how fast she goes into knee drive
right as soon as she pushes off the ground she immediately goes into driving the knees up and
extending with that that leg and really again on the left side does it really really well so to me
i think if you're you know looking to be a sprinter looking to improve your speed
what you just need to be able to do because you know when i'm i'm stepping here yeah i go into
uh knee flexion but i really don't drive the knee right you can see that they really drive
the knee up so you can see that the height difference and i know this is from the side
where the the leg that's coming up and through it's not a huge difference but it's enough of a
difference right where you can see my knee are about like the same height where their needs a
little bit higher up so you know i'm just thinking that you know i just need to be able to to get a
little bit more hip flexion as i'm walking and that will make an impact on how i actually end up
carrying over my gate into my sprinting form right and and she's quick too look at how quick her
strides are she's not taking really long strides that's something that i know i do is i take a
little bit longer strides and you know that could be impacting my my top speed as well so going a
little bit quicker with your steps right making it so that foot contact time is nice and quick
and just driving the knee looks like those are two things that could be important being able to
improve your your gait to set you up to be able to sprint faster so you know as always i just
want to help you guys out and understanding what are some of the key things you could do
in order to improve top speed and that looks like something that could definitely be beneficial for
you know me and again you know looking at at my own gait one of the things that really stood out
is that rotation so as i'm going in and pushing off you can see how i rotate with this foot
right and that's impacting how my left hip is working and i definitely feel issues in my left
side and so you know being able to to look at this and see this gives me another thing to focus
on and to think about when not only walking but also when i'm running so you know always good to
look at your gate always good to be able to just understand the mechanics just trying to get better
and again if you like this information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below and subscribe
to the channel we're going to continue to have great information just like this and then you know
the big thing that i've been talking to everybody about is signing up for either the speed breakdown
or the zoom session you know we'll be able to go over stuff like this if you want to look at your
gate if you want to look at your your sprinting form you want to look at the the start phase the
acceleration the top end speed you know all of that will be something that we can go over and
talk about and i know there's not very many people that are getting this biomechanical feedback on
their movement patterns right and it's more than just the sprinting it's the walking it's the
sprinting it's the jumping it's squatting it's dead lifting you know there's so many different
parts of our movement that could be impacting how we translate what it is that we're doing
into our ability to actually you know run faster so you know make sure that you check out what
we're doing within the speed breakdowns within the zoom sessions i know that will be hugely
valuable for you and it really is not a very big price you know 75 bucks 100 bucks you know
something that you're going to be able to take and utilize the information that you get for it for
months and maybe even years right so 75 bucks 100 bucks to be able to get that type of information
i think will be hugely hugely valuable for you i'm here to deliver as much value as i possibly
can so if you pay me 75 i want to give you five ten times the value of that in what it is that
is actually delivered to you same thing with the speed breakdown same thing with the speed program
whatever it is that you invest into yourself i want to deliver at least five to ten times the
value just so then you can walk away from that saying man you know i want to get his next thing
or or you know tell your friends about it the only way to be able to grow this business is to be able
to really provide the highest level of results for you guys so as soon as you invest into what
it is that we're doing i'm gonna be able to invest even again five ten times more into you and making
sure that you're able to get great results from what it is that you're doing so as always guys
thanks for watching if you have any questions let me know down below and we'll talk to you soon
