4.15 is the fastest in the nfl that ever happened and he wasnt much of a player.
and i think a lot of people are lieing about how fast they run 4.6 in high school and still not in 10th grade yeah ok if your doing that then your probally one of the best athelets in your state and a future friggin star.
most full back run a 4.8 to a 4.9 in the nfl
i run a 5.0 im a fullback and i dont ever train for the 40 yard dash hardly applies to football its about stop and go speed of the ball speed and thats were my skill is at least there is two times that are correct that are up here lol
Very accurate post. Been around combines for the last few years now and you rarely see the legitimate low 40’s like people talk about so casually on the internet. On the internet everybody benches 350 and runs a 4.4. In real life, legit timed, it’s not like that. Ask Hoosierdaddy on this site, he plays college football too and has been around this stuff and knows his shit…
This is so true. I can’t even count how many websites I’ve been to where I’ve told people that I ran ONLY a 4.67 as a wide receiver, only to hear about a 1000 highschool sophmores tell me they run legit sub 4.5s and that I was too slow to play reciever. I had to work thru all of highschool to get my 40 to where it is, so thanks alot guys (rolls eyes).
Like FB, I too have trained elite athletes and been around them, and I’ve only seen a handfull of legit sub 4.4 boys. If an athelte over the internet were to tell me he benched 350 i’d be alot more likely to beleive him then if he told me he ran 4.5.
And Speed, thank you for the kind words.
Since you are talking about a HS Sophomore and i posted my 40 time at 4.69 i think it is safe to assume you are talking about me? Well i’ll have you know that this is a real number to the extent of my knowledge. Our coach handtimes us yes, but he also adds on a number (i dont remember what exactly) to get a more accurate time that takes into account human error. I also have the 4th fastest time out of our WHOLE team of about 110 high school students. I have also been doing track alot longer than football.
Ok. I’ve got a few steps to improve your mental 40.

Re-read, I said websites (s) in the plural, I wasn’t referring to just T-Nation.

I’m not going bullshit around subtley accuse you of lying. I have no problem calling out a grown man in the political forum, much less a high-school sophmore here, don’t give yourself that much credit.

A 4.67, while blazing for a sophmore in high-school, is realistic. I’ve timed a few sophmores as, if not, faster. Sub 4.5, 30 of them being on the same website? Little Different story.

If you did nothing wrong, then why be defensive if nobody accused you of anything?
“woosierdaddy”,
Yes i got a little defensive when you agree with someone accusing me (not directly, but keep reading) of posting fake numbers, and maybe i didnt read your exact words but the general idea was there. The fact is that my numbers are real (you can check my other posts on my lifts and see if they look so unrealistic), and i agree that 30 10th graders with sub 4.5 on the same website sounds ridiculous, however when the guy says “i think the 10th graders with the 4.6 40s are lying” right after i post my numbers, i am going to be inclined to be a little bit defensive.
Maybe “i will have you know” was the wrong way to phrase my post. Sorry, maybe i should have worded it a little more kindly for people like you.
You also have to take into consideration that if a 10th grader is a frequent reader of a website like T-Nation they are most likely not an average 10th grader. (Not saying reading T-Nation makes you an uber-athlete… but i think people would agree that we are a higher class on average).[/quote]
“sin-a-stix” (what? it’s the best I could come up with)
You need to relax. Hazarddude accused you of faking the numbers. Speed merely stated that he had an accurate post, not even agreeing with him mind you. I only responded to Speed’s post because there was a direct reference to me.
I couldn’t care less about your numbers being real or not. If you have a beef with Hazard take it up with him. But right now you just sound like a 16 year old punk trying to pick a fight with somebody.
I also couldn’t care less about how you word your posts either. If you respond to one of my posts, I’m going to respond back. It’s that simple. I don’t know what you were implying when you said “people like me”. It’s probably best that you don’t elaborate.
Look, I understand being in 10th grade and accomplishing some athletic feats that many adults haven’t even done yet, only to have them discredited due to your age and for no other reason. I’ve been there. Picking fights only makes things worse, just shutup and keep lifting and running, come back when you are a senior and make everybody feel like a complete asshole. It’s alot more rewarding. (i’m not implying leave the site or stop posting, merely keep on keeping on and make people who doubted you feel stupid.)
I’m trying to pass on wisdom without sounding like a parent. Take and use what you will. In the meantime, stop wasting your time trying to defened your stats online, it’s really pointless.
