Dwaine Chambers Box Jump

[Lost_BMW]

Don't know how many of you have seen this but thought I'd post the link as it's one of the most impressive physical demonstrations I've seen in ages . . a 68 inch box jump (albeit with a run up.)

There's another clip of a 62" jump with less of a run up but either way seeing what he has to do at the final 'step' is impressive.

Ballistic!

This is weird, yesterday I looked and it said - after 3 posts "Topic Closed". Now back open?

Can anyone explain?

[deevlash]

I guess if I took a load of drugs I could do that too

It's an interesting comment - is it the drugs that make the power or do they add the final 5-10%?

You're right though, you're only guessing.

chambers freakish muscle growth was from his balco 'roids I'd suggest it was more the final 5-10% as he was pretty powerful before them anyway.

Thats not that impressive, this guy redefines powerful and explosive...

Its the first 2 minutes that is impressive, it might not look much but all I'll say is look at the height of the hurdles....

Sorry its also in german.

Have you seen many pictures of him before he started taking them? He was already 'freakishly' muscular.

He set some of his fastest times before the balco scandal and also afterwards, 10.00 isn't shabby nor is 6.42

he really wasnt, he was big big not the WWE freak he's turned into. He set his PB fastest time after the Balco scandal but it probably wasnt much faster than he would have managed through natural development anyway, that doesnt dismiss the fact he actively tried to cheat for many years though.

Do you even know what you are talking about or are you just regurgitating what you have heard/read.

He ran 9.97 and 6.41 in 1999 well before any drugs, he was also very muscular then, last year he ran 10 dead and 6.42. Even when he was on the drugs - which incidentally was 18 months not 'years' he didn't actually run much faster apart from once when he ran that 9.87.

When you say the WWE freak he has turned into you are aware that he was banned in 2003 and is therefore nearly 7 years being clean so what he looks like over the last couple of years - i.e when he has been in the media the most over 2012 etc...is what size he is naturally.

I have no issues with people calling him a cheat etc...and I am not trying to justify him taking them, but at least try and make an attempt to get the facts straight first.

the drugs he was on have been alledged to have changed his muscle structure irreversibly, there was a large group who maintained he was still benefitting from the effects the drugs had had despite no longer taking them. He was quick before and probably didnt need to take the drugs at all, all in all a real waste of someone who would probably have been britains greatest ever sprinter.

Alleged being the operative word, do you think that the IAAF would allow previously banned athletes to return to the sport if this was the case?

[deevlash]

in the light of the massive legal bills they could end up with by fighting it? probably.

realistically all the athletes are on drugs- its all over the sport.

does anyone beleive jthat ussain bolt is drug free?

I'm looking forward to someone admitting they are on drugs, and teh seeing how fast a human can run when dosed with everyone possible "enhancement"

I would believe that is the case. The Greeks once considered 'training' to be cheating. Perhaps we should have two leagues of sports. The other being drug free ones?
