Another block start with the right leg but I might go back to using the left.

if you are right handed, you need to have your right leg in front. if you are left-side dominant, use your left in the front. REMEMBER: you want your STRONGEST LEG, NOT your WEAKEST LEG to drive you out of the blocks. the stronger the front leg is, the easier it is to overcome inertia!!! most people will have their right leg in front, unless you are a lefty. if you are NOT a lefty, do NOT have your left leg in front. however, if you are a lefty, you need to have your left leg in front.

Hi my left leg is my strongest leg even though I am right handed. I have also sort out my blocks using the block setting calculator on brianmac.co.uk

@roxtar55

Thanks.

I will try upload a new video of the new setup as soon as the weather is better over here.

@LyricalPhantom8

Thanks am 5 weeks into my training so far so good. I should be doing another block start with the other leg soon.

[roxtar55]

@SmarvoE 3 out of those four are left handed as well.

[SmarvoE]

@roxtar55 Yeapp. and fyi, Tyson Gay, Asafa, Bolt and Blake all are left legged.

[roxtar55]

@SmarvoE Yes I know people who are right handed left legged, its rare but correct. But his start looks like his starting leg is weak thats all.

[roxtar55]

@SmarvoE Well, typically the same side is dominant. Generally. If that's your dominant, you should use it. You're doing it right then.

[SmarvoE]

@roxtar55 Yes this kid has a bad start but then. What you said about the if you're a right handed you gotta have the right leg in front is not true.. I'm right handed but i use my left leg.. it's much more stronger than my right leg

[roxtar55]

@SmarvoE it is true. this kid has horrible form. arms are back way to far, and somehow his thighs are above parallel to the ground. wow he could be so much faster if he ran right

[SmarvoE]

@roxtar55 That's so not true.

[roxtar55]

@ThePureOctane sounds good dude

[roxtar55]

@ThePureOctane also, search coach "Tom Tellez", he will tell you the same. good luck this season buddy!
