re: Check in if you can run a faster 40 time than La'el Collins

This clearly proves your point .. Thanks!

I'm not vain enough to put it on youtube though I did videotape it, but ULL football coach Mark Hudseath showed what us old guys can do.

Yep. I'm 48 and I can still put up more reps than Lael did. Do I think I'm stronger than him? Yeah, right. Nope.

I've frankly always been fascinated by some of the bench numbers at the NFL combine because they are so utterly not incredible. If you spend any time in a real gym, you see guys that can do those reps.

BUT, clearly, that's a result of the type of training these NFLers are engaging in. They clearly are training for explosive power and for the ability to do A LOT of work(force times distance) in a short period of time. The ability to move 225 many times isn't nearly as important as the ability to move 400 or more(or something close) once.
