Sprinting will drive weights, but weights won’t always drive sprinting.
This isn’t a rule. It’s a useful heuristic.
What I’ve seen over time is this…I’ve watched countless athletes get stronger in lifts without meaningful transfer to speed. But when athletes actually get
Ever see a 300lb man hurdle? 👀
Werner Günthör Was A FREAK🤯
The 3X world shot-put champ was truly one of the greatest athletes to step on the track.
Standing 6'7", the Swiss giant apparently had a 3.60m/11' 9.75" standing long jump!
Don't like the school, but sure love the kid. She's an oustanding person and is just starting to realize her potential. Any track program would be lucky to have her on the team. And if she decides to attend the school that I don't want to mention, I will support her always.
I get asked all the time if sprinting comes before or after lifting....We prioritize our training based upon the speeds needed and consequently the CNS demand. No we never sprint after our lift. You won’t be fast when fatigued.
Sprinting is a phenomenal general preparation exercise to build power as a combat athlete.
However almost all gyms prescribe sprints incorrectly.
You need long rest periods.
Otherwise it’s anaerobic threshold work.
2-5 min rest between reps.
Not suicides with 0 rest period
Training too frequently can be counterproductive because of central nervous system (CNS) fatigue resulting from muscle damage caused by the previous workout.
Good training doesn’t obsess over a single exercise, method, system.
Every micro niche program that isolates one quality/exercise/tissue like fascia, tendon, functional, whatever, & tries to magnify its importance often signals one thing - a poor grasp of training fundamentals
Here's how Caleb Tomac ended up in the Montana Mile and Macy Brandon in the Montana 100m. Recognizing a fellow Hi Liner as well in Regan Torgerson, a Shelby Coyote!
Some future Ponies getting in some summer competition at Big Sky State Games! Kara Kellam, Olivia Gray, Emma Torgerson, and Taryn Torgerson!
