The argument of stronger = faster, has been a contentious subject for many years.

Strength is good.

Strength supplements speed.

Strength gains can and will often improve speed.

Sprinters lift.

Sprinters typically have amazing-looking bodies.

But stronger isn’t always faster.

“The strongest are seldom the fastest. ~Boo Schexnayder

Power lifters and bodybuilders are seldom the fastest guys on the track team.

We learn by stories. ⤵️

When Covid shut everyone down, I had 8 fast sophomore track athletes who also played 🏈.

These 8 guys found a gym and lifted like madmen. They had nothing else to do. They got super strong and posted flex-pics often.

When things opened up a year later, one of the 8 was faster (slightly). 7 of 8 were slower by an average of one mph. They never got their speed back during their junior track season. None of the 7 ran track as seniors. They continued to play 🏈.

Lifting in the absence of sprinting, jumping, bouncing, and throwing will often make athletes slower.

Is that anti-strength? No.

But, stronger ≠ faster.

It’s more correct to say that athletes who get faster, get stronger. 🏋️‍♂️

Just because fast guys are strong doesn’t mean strong guys are fast.

Sprint, lift, jump, bounce, throw… but make speed the priority.

Posterior chain development starts with one thing, SPRINTING.

Max speed. Acceleration. Both hammer the hamstrings in distinct and powerful ways. In acceleration, the biceps femoris long head takes the brunt.
