honestly thank you i play football ⚽️ and im not fast my brother was faster than pro players at my age with less speed training than me people like u give me hope man
Bro...I need help.....I'm a overweight guy and whenever I try to do those crunches I always get a stomach cramp or spasm where I feel like the stomach becomes a knot....its become so bad that crunches are the exercise I fear the most.....its almost like i know that I'm gonna die if i do this.....any way to stop this from happening??
A couple thoughts on that, if you're contracting the muscle too much (sitting up too high) that will make you more prone to cramping. So maybe try not sitting up so high. Also maybe try taking a potassium supplement or eating a lot of avocados and or bananas. But if you're more than around 30lbs over weight you can probably just skip the ab exercises and focus on cardio and diet. Ab workouts aren't very effective for weight loss. They're good to do but while you're primary goal is weight loss focus on the cardio
@@dr.skycrafter9966 this was almost a full two years ago but I’ll try to explain what I remember: I did a lot of sprints. (40s, 50s, and even 60s) and then another thing I would do is “resisted sprints” where I’d have a partner hold me back with a resistance band while I sprint. Another thing is strengthening my legs “squats, deadlifts, all that). Last, I also performed some plyometrics as well. It was a long tough process but throughout it all I always stuck with it and stayed consistent and I eventually became fast.
So that was about 9 years ago and it wasn't a written program, I just did legs as hard and often as possible. I remember some days I'd do squats for 3+ hours straight. I wouldn't recommend it to most people because it would be VERY easy to over train and get injured. If you want a really good leg program that I wrote for improving speed go to GentechNutrition.com and then go to the Training page and you can get a free program.
I'm not sure, I know the workouts were crazy long probably 3-5 hours so maybe every 4 days or so. I wouldn't say it was the best method and definitely put me at pretty high risk of injury from the volume
bro im like 15kg heavier than this guy who trains does plyos and plays basketball does runs and stuff and I only recently like last month started doing plyos and legs i dont even do sprints and i can jump higher and run as fast as him so i agree genetics play a WAYYY larger role
Strengthening your plantar fasciitis & other lower calf muscle will boost your top speed dramatically Took a break from football after high school & got into dancing. I took ballet to become a better hip hop dancer & it made me way faster which got me back into football Now 6 years after high school I’m now burning the same guys in rec leauge who used to burn me in high school
@@bpswank429 look up “Memphis jookin” & you’ll see how 😂 that shit ain’t no joke & that’s the style of dance I did. Working on my toe stalls (on ur tippy toes like ballet) got my feet& calf’s strong af. Get to the point you can do it on one foot
If you can get to the point where you can balance on 1 toe… even for 2 seconds you’ll get way faster, better balance & just way more athletic in general
im 5,8 with longer legs with my friend whos 6'4, really shit mobility cant even squat properly, and 25% body fat and 14 yrs old even though i might not actually have good running genetics my anatomy has made me naturally fast at sprinting and im the second fastest in my school the first guy has a lot shorter legs than me just great genetics he doesnt even train
Ofc high speed is mostly due to gentics. No doubt in my mind
I dont work on my speed at all, but I'm faster than most people already apparently. I am looking forward to starting my speed training.
Could you do a video on upper body strength for speed? Great video 👍
Yeah man, that's a good idea. And thank you!
insane motivation after this 💪
If you strengthen your hamstrings, glutes, calves how could you NOT get faster
How many squats did you do a day and do you need to use weights
Very good insights from your personal experience... priceless :-)
Thanks man! Glad ya liked it
@@davidduncan1226 😊
What squat program were you using?
went from 5.4 to 4.7 in 2 months. I ran a 4.5 mid after abt 8 months
What did you do?...
I got my 40 yd dash time from a 5.9 (right after quarantine) to a 5.2 (right after first football season back) in less than 2 months
Also btw, I’m 12, 4’11 and 87 pounds, (used to be over weight, 4’10 102lbs)
@@divplxto1461 that’s not overweight
You should try boxing
@@divplxto1461 how?
Yea doing squats everyday for a certain amount of time will improve your acceleration dramatically
how many squats
@@rinefps 5 sets of 10 with hamstring and hip flexor isometrics

@@davidduncan1226 thank u
I got my 40 yard dash time from a 5.4 to a 4.8 in 6 and a half months when I was 15 so yeah this video is valid.
That's awesome man
Impossible! How?

@@dr.skycrafter9966 another thing was also stretching a lot, so that increased my flexibility which helps a lot with mobility and all that
@@kingukoha8484 did you squat every day like him?
can you tell your speed genetics before you are fully grown?
Danny Duncan if he worked out

How much did you weigh when you ran 4.8?
My weight didn't change during that time period, I was 210 lb
