40 yard dash times

**P-funk** · 09-30-2007, 05:00 PM

I would guess that you have no clue on how to use those exercises to enahce speed strength and sports performance.

Until you do some research for yourself, don't bother be.

Won't be able to jump as high, or throw as fast of far, that's why MLB pitchers are not huge and bulky, NFL QB's aren't ripped, and Olympic sprinters aren't bulky. They are lean muscle mass. None of them are built like body builders. You want to work on your running for like I said, that's a real fast way to lower your time, take out any un-necessairy movement, and plyometrics, do some research on them if you are curious about them.

You are fucking stupid.

I ran a 40 in 4.46 sec, my first time I have ever been timed in it. Im a Junior in Highschool. 4/18/08

5'7" 120lbs Bench: 165x3
30" Vertical

**Merkaba** · 04-20-2008, 12:45 AM

Power cleans, Power cleans, and power cleans.

form runnin, parachutes, bungees, running with form down a slight hill if you can find it. like 5% grade.

TheStuff · 04-21-2008, 01:05 AM

I ran a 4.56 on a grass field in soccer cleats for tryouts as a sophmore in high school. I have no clue what I run right now (jr in college) I have stopped doing cardio as much as I did since I played soccer but I am still being asked to run track for the University. I think if I really concentrated on running and quickness I would be working on strength and reflexes.

The whole track team says I have improper form but I am still faster than majority of the sprinting team. They tried teaching me the proper technique but it just felt awkward. I believe plyometics helps for sprinters in how quick they can move their feet and how fast they can get them off the ground.

**dg806** · 04-22-2008, 06:04 PM

LMAO, my 11 yr old son has played division 1 &2 the last two yrs..............he weighs145-150. You think 120 is going to get you playing High school ball? No way.

cbvr6 · 05-05-2008, 02:28 AM

There are only 2 ways to increase your 40 time. Increase your turn over rate, and increase your stride length. Form running, ABC running, explosive lifts like cleans. I ran a 4.8 40 on an acutrack timer, at 5'11, 235 pounds. I am a linebacker coach in highschool. A lot of the speed i see here in California is actually natural speed. Some of the fastest kids I have seen didnt really lift hard at all... (bastards haha)

**Merkaba** · 05-05-2008, 10:35 AM

proper arm action is VERY important as well. I was naturally fast, not blazing but fast. When I went to college i actually learned how to run. I've never ran a 4.3 but in a video of some hundred dashes i basically blew past this freak we had at about the thirty yard mark after I decided to tighten my arm swing. So many people throw momentum and action to the side. gotta hammer the nail! make sure your arm swing is good....look into it. (I'm not a track coach)

Kalis · 08-06-2008, 03:32 AM

OMG... do any of you guys actully Play football?
For Oline 5.1-5.2 is exceptional for 280+ guys
nethign under that is liek best of the best you want proof?
NFL Events: Combine Top Performers
look at that the best time 4.99 for o line. n for linebackers in high school if you can run 4.5 4.6 thats liek amazign at teh highschool level since many dont kno technique, liek myself. but ifyou can runa 4.6-4.8 range you should have the spot. the spot shoudl be yours if you have the talent.
N for olinemen(since i am one) the 10 yard dash is the most important, why would a big 300 pound guy need to run that far? n 1.5 is a good tiem for 10 yard dash... BTW im abtou 6'3" 277lbs and run a 5.34 n a 1.61 10 yard. which was pritty decent sicne i did my testing at my football camp up at teh university i am goign to attend, ya im a freshman.

GOtriSports · 08-06-2008, 11:27 AM

This thread is hilarious. Maybe a few linemen in high school run under 5.0 40 but they are not the kind that go on to do much. Like the post before me showed you. Most of the top NFL linemen run 5.1-5.2 and that is considered FAST.

Also to the guy who said Olympic sprinters are never ripped... I would love to know what you think of this guy?
http://www.arhiva.serbia.sr.gov.yu/g...etics2309d.jpg

That is Maurice Greene. Is he the most ripped guy I have ever seen? No. But I would say he has very strong muscle structure. Look at his flexed leg.

mcveigh1 · 08-21-2008, 03:30 PM

hey usain bolt's time [gold medal winner in 100m & 200m] if applied to the the 40 is like 3.54 [no joke], so aim for that and your only the fastest runner in the world.

Im a rugby player in the UK, we need to concentrat on endurance as we play for 80minutes pretty much flat out. im a forward, hooker, weighing 230 lbs, bench 275lbs, squat 484lbs, clean 220lbs x 6,
im not slow for my position, but i want to get faster my 40 meter time is 5.46, so my 40 yard time would be around the 5.7 mark.
i have a good strength base but i think i need to work on my technique any tips?

I'm pretty sure a meter is longer than a yard.
