ya right when u take off, your first three steps should be very low to the ground and long. this helps out alot.

@blackyiechan

your feet should be more straight I think

yo that last block start looked so clean and beautiful, I saw some powerful triple extension there. good job

Yikes, the blocks are so close together. Like Jesse Owens, but old-fashioned. Sport science says you get out faster that way, but it inhibits your stride pattern later (strides are slightly shorter than optimal).

I think you should try to stay lower to the ground at the start. You are standing too straight up imo

WHOOAAAA..... the back leg is waaay too far up! move the back leg back about 3-4 inches. watch the first step too. waaay too high off of the ground. you are getting a trajectory straight up. keep your front toe on the ground when in set position. then you won't come out too high. slight back-kick, try to keep driving the hips a tad higher. and get a new pair of track spikes! lol i had the same exact ones. hurt my feet. get a pair of adidas.

Try putting more emphasis on your arm swing, more exaggerated, big and wide, that, and keep your head down more, it's a drive phase so you should be driving more, not just looking down, but head also down. I did some minor tweeks to my start (what I just mentioned) and I went from a 10.92 to a 10.71 in 3 weeks of training and meets.
