Richard Franklin: Performance & Body Composition

Richard Franklin Project 200m

 

This is me, on a home straight in 2021 aged 39..

25 years ago I ran a PB & School Record of 23.7s for the 200m – keeping me as City Champ for the 3rd year running.

 

I’m looking to recreate this form … 😬

I know, right, here’s the thing though – it may look/sound/be unrealistic but imagine the benefits gained from having a go.

So where was I starting?

January 2021:Body Composition & Speed

– 228lbs; post Sumo Deadlift 1RM phase of training so I was stacked with muscle and also a fair amount of BF.

Richard Franklin Sumo Deadlift 170kg at 230lbs

I set myself a target of 42lbs to shift.. I’m at 28lbs & that’s enough for now.. I’m lean & fast with no real scope to restrict any food or add any further activity 🙂

– 200m: how long does it take me nowadays?
