Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Nice min. Another 20 meter would be pretty massive. 

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Thanks guys.
Tried another one today and got 388m. I think that's around my limit at my current level of fitness/strength!

I wonder what would happen to the sprint records if top level "giants" (strongmen/rugby/basketball/throwing athletes) gave them a real go

Mark Roberson (ex-GB javelin thrower) has some good sprint performances.....

Brian Shaw pulled a 100m around wr. But he is a bit to big even, can,t fully use his power.JMac wrote:Exactlyhjs wrote:

Nice work JMac
Here's the vid of Brian Shaw (probably been posted before). Love how he has a stack of plates to support the erg!

I'm going to have to give the 1 min a shot one of these days

New 30r20 PB: 7,693 at 1.56.9. This smashes my prior PB of 1.57.6.
I have a feeling I ought now to be able to obliterate my (old) 30rFREE and 10k times... will aim to do so later this month or early December.
