Great video man! The "sport specific" rabbithole vs. the general transferability of enhanced strength & power is a point that a lot of people get confused on and miss the boat on. Glad to see you clearing up some of these issues, and promoting hard and heavy strength training as a means to improving athletic performance!

The best video I've seen on this subject is from Daniel Back He simplified it in a graph iirc that goes like this To get fast, sprint fast, but you will reach a limit of how fast can you get with the current strength So you get strong, which will make you slower but after getting stronger, the speed you can get to with that strength is higher and the cycle goes on Get fast, reach speed limit Get strong, become slow Get fast, reach a higher speed limit I might be wrong, but I think this is what I remember from his video

Love your videos man! i have incoorporated sprints, and strength training using your advices and tips in the middle of my soccer season and towards the end of my season i was almost as fast as i used to be when i was 18-19 and explosive. I lost a lot of pace due to injuries and lack of sports for 3 years in my early 20s. I am 26 now, and the offseason just just began and cant wait to get to work in 2 weeks, and see how fast i can get before my soccer season begins next year again. 5 month offseason

Thank you brother!

How about French contrast eg. 3x3 squats (around 80% of 1rm) > assisted banded hops 10x4 > reactive wicket hops

Killer video, homie 👍👍

You have any thoughts on why "grinding" lifts can slow one down?

@ATHLETE.X

8 ай бұрын

Probably a few factors at play, like fiber type shifts, rfd time frames, time under tension. The demands of grinding against a true max load is far different than the demands of sprinting, and the very stressful nature of it means your body would likely adapt to get better at grinding a lift. Some of those adaptations may not be great for sprinting. It’s a risk/reward thing. You can gain a lot of strength from lifts in the 75-90% range and I see there being less risk of it making you stronger at the expense of speed qualities.

@@ATHLETE.X Thanks! Yes, the body seems to adapt to what is being thrown at it. It's easy to get caught in believing the solution to moving faster is developing more muscles instead of getting rid of the resistance you have in a movement. I used to have resistance lifting up my knees and now when that's gone (thanks to mainly doing "deep" and rotational stuff in the hip joint it finally pays off following tips like an upright posture and big, narrow movement in arms and legs

Whats your bench press max and height bodyweight?

I think you explained it already. I agree with your points. the systemic strength benefit of heavy compound lifting through hormonal chances. But so comes systemic fatigue. Your point that strength training should not be movement specific but work more on systemic strength makes some sense.. for beginners and intermediate athletes. But at the higher level the used training energy must be as productive as possible. The fatigue of strength training gets higher than the gains at some point. I think we can get a similar systemic strength stimuli from hard sprints. I don't know it but the HGH and testosteron release from a brutal lactate hill workout is higher than from heavy squating. And hill sprints are very specific too. 2 birds with ... squats on the other side are not specific to sprinting. @@ATHLETE.X
