High school times are notoriously exaggerated. I think some of you are also mistaken with this muscle / weight speed trade off.

Adding muscle doesnt necessarily make you slower just because you've added weight. Depending on where the muscle is going, the power the added muscle provides is likely to more then offset the negative speed effect of the weight. This is why sprinters lift weights. Now if you go all frat boy juicy and just try to build up puffy pecs and triceps...while neglecting hip flexors and core...then it probably will slow u down.

High school times ARE notoriously exaggerated. The Nike and Under Armour camps are pretty accurate. These times, though, don't really paint an accurate picture. They're more a snapshot in time. Seen some kids run horrible forties at a combine one weekend, and the very next weekend, at a different camp, blow the doors off a LT1 Corvette. Only real way to gauge speed, quickness, and agility is while watching them compete against others.
