@@Southpaw88 You say, naturally gifted and in the sams breath they so naturally gifted they use peds. What is sad is how only certain individuals are singled out when all of em are using peds, however anyone with half a brain knows it takes more than just peds to be the best in any form of the sport but these fools make it appear its just a matter of using peds which is why x beat y.
@@ace_gainsventura_flexdetective that's my point. whether it's all of them or a small minority what we can all agree on is that if you gave everybody on earth the same PEDs and workouts they would still come out on top because they are that 0.001%
Decathlon is the most accurate test of total fitness, 10 disciplines, most of which performed at a level which wouldn't look out of place in the actual events themselves.
Most Often Sprinters are naturally gifted with excellent muscular physiques. Additional body building is not how they look at or approach training. They already know that more muscular bulk causes constriction and unnecessary mass and Ultimately causes slower movement.
@@ywoulduchoosetousethis Try again!? Lol YOU try again Rookie.i know whereof I speak. Was a successful sprinter throughout high school and college. I am abundantly aware of what it takes. BEFORE steroids and performance enhancing aids. It comes down to Love of the sport, dedication and hard work ethics. Stop hating on these athletes. Ultimately it's the HARD WORK they are more than willing to do that enables them to reach plateaus heights and Contracts most of us can't-Recognize that. Give em that. And stop the criticisms.
@@ywoulduchoosetousethis Nawwww-wrong! The rookies and pundits among us always negate and minimize an athletes Love for his sport , and that athletes hard work ethics and his/her Dedication to excel to the top of their athletic craft. They'd rather hate on them denigrate them and reduce them to a drug addict. When in fact they have demonstrated a history of pure HARD WORK , LOVE and selfless DEDICATION for their sport. Ya' know. Those qualities do exist in athletes. Stop the hatred.
Alexis butler, Ryan is not that very bodybuilder looking, he is just huge & tall... I prefer Justin Gatlin who looks more ripped, still part of this generation & still among the dust feeders
There's a tipping point between having the right amount of muscle x speed. If you over do it your top speed decreases. It's difficult finding the right balance. A sprinter that stands out the most to me, and I know he's been injured is yohan Blake. Imo he's too top heavy now. Rocks around to much at the 80 metre mark now. But might also have been the injuries lasting affects.
@@MrSuicidesilence91 it is tbh. There's no special formula. Nobody knows there tipping point to knowing when they are too bulky x with their age, training regime methods, dealing with injuries. But like you said, the best indicator is the stop watch
@@vintagejock3951 They don't blast tren lmao, most of the gear they use is for performance and they are on 10× less dosage than bodybuilders, and even then not all of them are on gear, Olympics is heavily drug tested
Gives me hope that being at ~90kg isn't necessarily a reason why I cannot continue to run fast. I'll lean out as the season goes on and drop to 87-88kg. Still solid at 183cm.

@@AlwaysMoore I'm not hating one bit but it's worth noting, the same is on the flip side, athletes that cheat want the world to see them as this innocent hardworking role model that achieves these remarkable feats simply because they were born gifted and capitalised on it. You can't tell me that sprinters in the Olympics that have been caught using PEDs are competing against clean athletes.

Who told you bolt was perfect. The man literally lacked a perfect form. Meanwhile Asafa, had perfect form l, but lacked a good finish. Michael Johnson once said that if bolt had a good form, he could have gone faster than his world records.
Like others have said, he really is. Donovan Bailey was built the same way. Most tall people can't produce the leg turn over Bolt does. Not just in sprinting but in all sports. The fastest people on football soccer and baseball fields are typically under 6'3. The same can be said for basketball players fastest and of course sprinters. They're also not usually super muscular. Powell and others like him combine the best of all worlds. Bolt was an anomaly.
@@maruornamwamba yes all Africans in general, we’re all super athletes but for sprinting it’s more common for athletes of west African descent to be top sprinters
@@Rs9z. East Africans are not built for sprinting at all really, they are better at marathons and quite skinny. Ferdinand is an exception. I also notice he is Bantu so that might play a role. Nilotes and Horn Africans are not really known for their muscle mass
Andre De Grasse is the least stack sprinter that can propel his body with such force, it is all about physics, the Skeletal framework allow muscle to propel you against gravity, just standing up straight takes muscle and brain power to accomplish, to sprint at that speed you have to apply a force against the ground the more force and the faster it is applied give you speed, just like a piston engine

To achieve maximum speed in short periods of time (10 seconds for example) you need ATP as well as Creatine Phosphate. Unfortunately Creatine Phosphate can be stored in larger quantities only in larger amounts of muscle mass. So no - sprinters are not bodybuilders but they need muscle mass to store more Creatine Phosphate which I turn makes them faster. It's all about finding the optimum balance between large amounts of muscle mass and perfect sprinting technique and legs turnover.
Most of the all-time elite sprinters weren't built like bodybuilders. A majority of the all-time greats were well-built but not overly muscular. Patellar-tendon reflex, fast-twitch fibers and overall skeletal structure are more important than huge muscles!
As a competitive runner of any kind, you want to minimize any mass that is not helping you run better. Unfortunately, that often includes upper body muscle. Fortunately, you don't need Olympic levels of running performance to enjoy running. You can be muscular, fat, skinny, whatever you want, and still find joy in running. Life is not a race or a competition. Find the balance that makes you happy.
Ironically..the fastest sprinter in history (Usain Bolt) wasn't "stacked". Ironically the fastest creature on earth (the Cheetah) isn't the most muscular. Strange isn't it?
@@vsmith3rd true..but I thought since the channel was discussing runners that It was kinda obvious that i was referencing only creatures propelled by kegs...not by the force of gravity. However can you show us the muscular Peregrine Falcon...??
Lean and powerful explosive legs like Deer or Antelope should be focus. These people make themselves like huge bodybuilder too much heavy legs and upper bodyweight .
Not necessarily. He was taller than most of the guys on the list and had longer muscles. He was jacked but not more than say another gentlemen who ran for the UK in the 2000's (Dwain Chambers) and Christie wasn't stocky either so you can't say these shorter stockier guys are small in comparison because they're pound for pound bigger than he would be if he was shorter with the same body type.
Top sprinters except Yohan Blake whom I would say was somewhat at the middle of the scale are never bulky. Omanyala has no consistency at all and that makes his 9.77 seemed more like luck. Aikines isn't really that good. The current top spinters are built very similarly to Bolt, just that they're shorter, i.e. Lyles, Tebogo, Knighton and Simbine.
He's more a football guy though. This video is for sprinters and the slowest on this list ran 10.08. Metcalf's PB is 10.37 or something like that. He's not fast enough to be in an elite sprinter video.
That makes no sense. Being tight doesn't correlate with having lots of muscle, there are bodybuilders who have earned incredible mobility through their training.
This should be entitled why sprinters are built like sprinters. The training regime which sprinters put themselves through causes their bodies to transform into what is required for their particular genetic makeup to run fast as a professional athlete.
Yeah, Aikines looks like he was drawn by Rob Liefeld, but most people would agree that, out of the ones in the video, Powell has had the most aesthetic physique. And other sprinters that I think could rival him or even beat him are Sven Knipphals, Usain Bolt and maybe Filipo Tortu, plus hurdler David Oliver, all much more lean than Matadi while fairly muscular.

@@AlwaysMoore telling the trueth is not hating. In USA doping starts at highschool and you know this. Thinking its only hard work and love for the sport ist naive asf.
@@gerritsstrengthforge No that's hate. There's no doping in high school. It wasn't during my time. That's hate to assume that these athletes don't LOVE the sport and purely WANT and truly DESIRE to Excel on their own merits. WITHOUT artificial aids and/or dope. I've seen many athletes and have been an athlete that excels on Love for their craft , Dedication and HARD WORK. Which is "dope" to a gifted athlete. Natural organic body supplied , body manufactured endorphins. All because it's truly a joy and body supplied natural " dope"" to Excel. It IS simply HATRED to assume and believe ALL athletes use dope... Or even want to use dope. Stop the HATE.
I believe that the problem with HAA is that he is too quad dominant. While he is indeed very well built and lean, he is too very big at slightly less than 90kg. Have you seen the way that guy power cleans for someone under 90kg and his vertical jump? That's very powerful quads! Sprinting is glutes and hams more so than it is quads. Having an excess of quad dominance, while it make one a very explosive jumper and help with acceleration will limit top speeds... Yes, probably if he reduced his weight by 5 to at most 7 kg, he'd be slightly faster, but anything more than that given his physique would weaken him too greatly to be faster...
There's are slimmer bodybuilders who compete for best aesthetic physique or something. There's a category for the slimmer guys though and Asafa would fit right in.
The racism is in excellent shape in America. For those that don't know as a sprinter you train to reach short distance in a small amount of time using every muscle in the body. Yes running utilizes every muscle in the body. Ask the questions of why cross country runs are so skinny. Longer distance burns more fat and muscle

All natural athletes hahaha ans these guys aint close to body builders Physiques. Unless u referring to mens physique category like mens boardshorts /bikini.
Muscle is the only body tissue that moves you. Muscles use bone to leverage off of but you can hold your breath to run a 100M and you dont need kidneys and liver to run. The idea that being lighter helps you go faster is stupid. You dont have the same "engine" at the lighter weight. There has to be a balance. If You dont want to be bulky, stretch. Body builders cant move becauae they flex for hours in a mirror, not because muscle cant move.
Yes muscles generate the force, bigger muscles have the potential to apply more force. But speed also takes into account contraction speed and bodyweight. Olympic weightlifters for example have the best average vertical jumps of any sport because of their power to weight ratios. The fastest cars have the best power to weight ratios.
