BLOCK SETTINGS for Sprinters

These are settings for sprinters who are in need of a more consistent start.

I'm not gonna criticize, but everyone has their own settings in blocks, it's more about what's comfortable for each person.

That's too tight, his knee passes his arms

3 steps, two fingers ON THE FLOOR with a little more space in between. Secure the lock, step on the block for checking, push the back leg and slowly lower ur knees, front leg knee should be near or beside ur arm. Tension should go through the whole body to feel the strike on the block to push forward.

That looks a little tight, but maybe I will try it in practice.

can you please tell advantages of block start against start with no block

[drmichaelomakobia]

A 6ft+ guy will feel too bunched with this setting I think, this can't work for everyone.

He’s not comfortable on the blocks ! Front shin is too high!

Should the front leg Achilles also be stretched in the blocks?
