TMat184 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 the 40 is really all about exploding off the line, if you get a good burst off the line your in good shape to run a decent time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X-Factor Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Originally posted by miragv Hey X, I hate to call you out cuz your my boy and all but.... there is NO way you ever got close to a 4.6! :laugh: :laugh: Back in the day I was a speedster. Damn knee injuries really took a toll. I can still beat you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'll let you know tomorow. Should be done running it by then. * Of course, that time can be situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 In HS, I ran it in just over 5.0 (I can't remember the exact time). Several thousand beers and 8 years later, I probably run around a 6.2 like you, Mr. S. EDIT: I was an offensive tackle, so 5.0 ain't all that bad Just a side note, the fastest guys on my college rugby team ran it around 4.7-4.8 on grass with cleats on. And they were FAST AS HELL, by far the fastest guys on the team and among any of our opponents. I say that just to put those high 4.2 times into perspective. Those guys are damn fast...

Dan T. Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I didn't know we had so many elite speedsters on Extremeskins. 4.4 for me, back in the day. Probably 4.6 now. Oh, and I'm a scratch golfer, too. Tara Reid caddies for me. And I wrestle alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miragv Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I really do not believe anyone who says they ran a 4.4 40 considering it was analyzed and concluded that Ben Johnson ran the 40 in 4.38 in his famous race....which he was juiced for.

jrockster21 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Originally posted by Pete I ran the 40 in 4.3 flat in my senior year of high school. 26 years later, bad knees, lower back problem, and about 40 more pounds, I figure about 10 or 11 seconds. Dude, you're 44. That puts your senior year in high-school in 1978-1979. In 1988, Ben Johnson (under perfect conditions, and under the influence of steriods) ran a 4.38, which at the time was considered to be the fastest time ever. So, at 4.3, in 1979, you would have been a world-class sprinter.

Cowboy4ever Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I read a good article the other day - I think it was from NFL.com - which explained how NFL 40 times are a joke. If I remember right, they said that Ben Johnson's estimated 40 yd time (estimated during his world record 60m sprint) was like 4.3. Realistically, you can take virtually every 40 time you've ever seen and add .1 or .2 to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
