I can put up a consistent 4.5 on water.

I think alot of these highschool cats posting these ridiculous times are either lying or being timed wrong. Because most highschoolers even the really gud one's are not gettin under a 4.6 no way!! the average NFL rime for a running back is 4.62. My fastest 40 yard time is 4.65 and im in college. For-instance my cousin who was going to play for a D-1 college was gettin a 4.6 40 yard at his best. And he raced this little highschooler claiming to get a 4.5 40 yard, and my cousin beat him twice! and thats after him getting a knee surgery and he dont work out no more. My point is most these times being put up here about some 275 dude gettin a 4.8 ya rite not a highschool line men. highly unlikely if there being timed correctly.

I run 100m in low 12s sometimes even in the 11s. I guess my 40 yard dash time would be around 4.2/4.3 easily. I am quite light though, weighing 180lb at 5"11 and I'm built like a sprinter with long legs, massive glutes and a short upper body.

T_man · 05-11-2009, 03:41 PM

Actually now that I've bulked I just ran a 13 sec 100m. Time to cut methinks and incorporate some plyo. Need to cut down bf and get back to my fast times. I don't know how to though cos this is my first bulk so I'll just do HIIT hill sprints lol.

You run a low12 or high 11 in the 100 and youre trying to somehow calculate your 40yd based on that? No way do you run a 4.2 40 and still pull up in the high 11's. Its not gonna happen. Plus a 4.2 or 4.3 is not something to guess at. That is Major league speed either you run it or you don't. No guessin'.

Lame. Really Lame.

T_man · 05-11-2009, 05:59 PM

I was just guessing because I thought I would run 40 yards at a faster pace than I would run 109.4 yards. I suppose you could add around 0.2 for acceleration in the 40 yard one but I'm confident I could hit atleast 4.5 when I'm back in season.

DesertFox · 05-11-2009, 10:04 PM

Well I am 6'0" and about 217lbs. Never done a 40 timed but I guess it would be around a 5.7 Yeah, I have never been fast even though I got powerful legs. The way I see it is, I run like a muscle car instead of a sports car. I was a constant starter as a left back in high school varsity soccer and I always and I mean always kept up with anyone who went my side. All I had to do is play smart, anticipate, and stay on there asses by using my body and sliding tackles. Unfortunately this does not apply to sports like american football, track and what not but I have never liked any other sports but soccer so I have never worried bout my speed. I got a hell of a shot though.

**Merkaba** · 05-13-2009, 11:12 AM

100 dash and 40 are two totally different races and levels of conditioning. A few inches short on each stride and deceleration and youre looking at .5 second off on a hundred Meters or Yards. I know lots of guys that run 4.6 40s but mid fives in the 100 M. And in college we had one of the fastest guys I've ever seen in the 40. So fast he wouldnt run full speed because he claimed he didnt want the coaches to know.I was there, I saw him never run full speed and I saw him never run lower than a 4.4 unless he was hurt. I saw him pull up on the last 4 strides and jog and run 4.4's. I saw him come up from the safety position get jooked at the 50, drop to one knee, and walk the running back down and tackle him on the 5. Think about it. It was seriously amazing. The guy had calves like piano wire, Chris Hamilton, nick named Kung-Fu. However In the 100 I could beat him and a few others that ran 4.3's. From what I know, the 100 is not a full speed race. You must learn to conserve about 10 percent in the middle so you don't decelerate at the end because the human body can't hold up top speed for more that about 60 or 70 yards.... Now thats from a few years back. I am not current on present track coaching. I don't know if Usain is holding anything back. Anybody with legs that long that can turn over as fast as a 5'5" guy is gonna win. But for us joes, the 40 to 60 range is the testing range for the explosive part of the running mechanism.

T_man · 05-13-2009, 11:41 AM

Well my best portion of the race is the first 30 yards, then i slow down till about 70 yards and speed up again. Thats why I estimated myself at that speed. I never got beat in the 60 yard dash in high school and I think once we did a 40 yard HIIT type thing and I won all 5 rounds easy.

Maybe I mis-estimated but I'll have to actually do some and get back to ya

readyformore · 05-13-2009, 02:01 PM

i ran 40y in 4.40429 seconds! lol jp

Hahzist · 05-13-2009, 06:05 PM

There is a big difference between official and unofficial times. For example running in your socks is unofficial. Basically an unofficial time is when your friend, coach, or teammate clocks you with a stop watch where there is a huge margin of error. Out of 5 runs if someone happens to unofficially clock at 4.6 they will tell everyone that is their 40 time.

In reality high school kids, especially lineman, rarely reach the low 5's. It can be tough to accurately clock a 40 time, but if you are doing it in front of a bunch of scouts and trainers they will make sure it's as accurate as it can get.

5.0 for a big guy in high school is a good time not the norm, I'm not talking about a fat slob at a class C school. And many linemen in the NFL run 5.0 or faster son.

You must play for the slowest school in the country.

My brother is a 6'2" 260 lbs. linebacker. He ran a 4.59. 5.0 is not a good time at all.

5.0 is good if youre a 300lb lineman

T_man · 10-28-2009, 06:47 AM

Okay 2 weeks ago I went out onto the soccer pitch at uni and had a friend time me and I ran 4.67, 4.63 and 4.57. It's much different to a 100m sprint merkaba, you were right. Do times tend to be faster on track?

gtbmed · 10-28-2009, 09:08 PM

Of course it's much different than a 100m sprint and of course times will be faster on a track than on grass.

Almost everyone who runs the 100m dash will negative split it. It's pretty obvious that you can't just take a 100m dash time and find your 40 yard dash from that.

**Merkaba** · 10-30-2009, 01:30 AM

right just like with or without track shoes or out of starting blocks etc. I remember watching some olympic trials and the 40 split for some guy was like 4.1 or something and the announcer was like "he got off slow, almost a football time at the forty yard mark"

devildog88 · 10-30-2009, 11:59 AM

My son is a Soph. was strapping 150 lbs and 6' tall. He is very athletic and can jump like a kangaroo. He ran a 4.8 at the combine this year and in Denver as a freshman and the colleges were very interested. Obviously not a world class time but they must see potential. I am curious to see where he is at this summer. already he has put on ten lbs of LBM. his body fat was measured at 3.8%.
