Mechameleon Rex cpt doesn’t mean you know how to run a training program. It means you know how to diagnose, repair, and prevent injuries. There’s more to athletics than injury prevention. Just look at the guy that he trained, Jesse. The guy still can’t deadlift 315. Jeff only looks like he knows what he’s talking about when he’s working with professional athletes, who are genetic freaks. He can’t replicate his success with a lay person.
@@ATHLETE.X Absolutely amazing video! Thank you! I just have a question, do you think these exercises, especially the plyometric exercises cause significant stress on the knee joints? Will this affect my knee joints when I am older? I do not want to be 50 and struggling to enjoy sports like skiing or sprinting because of damage to my knees from activity like this in my youth. I ask because my mother did lots of activity like this and she has trouble doing any exercise that requires bending of the knee. Care to comment on this topic? Cheer!
@@StudioOAC take this with a grain of salt but I believe you might be able to stop the knee weakness in your older age if you just continue being active and don't overtrain in this age. Maybe try light weight ATG squats as well
I really needed this. Coming from Strength/Oly lifting to sprinting, I was having trouble adjusting, and was always sore. I realized my exercises and volume needed to be adjusted for sprinting..this really helps alot!
Well done. Methodical, practical, and full of intent. Love this video. Probably learned more from this guy in 7min than I did in my 4 years of college track.
Thanx Cody!!! Great introductory vid which was very logical in its presentation & contained a lot of information about the various aspects of sprint development. Appreciate your time & effort... will definitely look forward to your next one!!!!
My son wants to do track this coming year in highschool. I see a lot of places lack a solid base training for track. And i can say your information is great. We are going to utilize and keep looking for more videos and information from you. Thank you !
I liked the plyos, sleds and sprints a lot. Good ideas there. I have found though that it is quite debatable whether or not a lot of weight training (especially in-season) will give a sprinter the edge they are looking for. Some sprinters, like myself and guys like Ben Johnson or Mo Green, are bigger muscle/power guys. I am a 50-60m specialist, so I don't mind being bulkier and having more power, size and raw strength. However, many top sprinters do not lift a lot of weights. Noteworthy would be Carl Lewis, who said the worst year of his career was the year he did the most weight training. It's important to see what works for each athlete as well. For me, I love a lot of weight training, but for other sprinters who are constructed differently, it is not as helpful.
Litro never comment but such great and articulate analysis in each of your videos- valued scientific knowledge without being boring or cringe is rare to find
I train hard for years and over time my skews has definitely increased. Endurance is getting there, I’m very proud of myself. Bc I am getting back into track and field, it feels good!
One thing that has worked for me is to push through the big toe and then pop the thigh forward but feel as if you're leaving the foot behind you (so you don't engage the quads or hamstrings too much) and the lower leg can just get dragged forward until the next strike back at the ground. I don't always advise trying to drag the toe, but would if someone showed faster times as a result. Ultimately, you've got to play around with what part of the leg you cue to go forward vs backward during those first couple steps, and you might even find you run faster without the toe drag. For low heel recovery without toe drag, I'd visualize swinging the entire leg from the hip with the knee locked at 90 degrees or something like that. Another way to achieve it is to visualize yourself pushing horizontal relative to the ground for the first couple steps and then letting the brain figure it out when you drive the knee forward. Sorry I don't have a super clear answer, but its because often it comes as a result of trial and error over many practice sessions. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, upright sprinting is most of the race!
Hey bro excellent video I Coach Explosive speed etc these days mainly working with my son who’s reasonably competent with these types of movement exercises but I gotta say you’ve put this together excellently and it’s good to be able to refer to this for the exercises we are using during our progression.. thanks sharing your work 👍
Fantastic video and channel. Extremely under rated, hope you find success with this. Lots of pragmatic and easy to understand information for all athletes (no matter what level of talent) looking to get faster and their coaches! I'll definitely be looking to this video for my weight session progression for this year.
Hello Cody, I just wanted say that your videos are amazing and helpful, I know what exercises to do when I go to the gym, and track. But what I wanted to ask you is what weight is the best to start off with, reps & sets, and when to increase the weight.
hey thank you so much for this video. I just like to sprint for fun but would definitely love to get faster. If you are considering making a program I would definitely pay for it. this would be a fun challenge. thanks for the informative video
No worries mate. One question, do you think it would be a good idea to do the glute ham eccentrics, single leg eccentric back extensions and hamstring holds once per week during the competitive season as a means of hamstring injury prevention?
Great stuff. There are no tricks for success. Just two tune ups. When your doing 30-40-60 meter flys your head and shoulder need to be upright, inline with the natural alignment of the spine. Secondly, max strength will diminish after 6-8 weeks. One day of max lifts 3-5 reps once every 2 weeks will keep you in maintenance. Outstanding coverage for 7 minutes.
Why didn't youtube exist when I was running in college 😭. So much good info here man. Even the weight training stuff, which I don't see a lot of in other youtube videos, was spot on. And I really like the variety of plyometric exercises. You've got a new subscriber.
Watched this a year ago and improved my overall athleticism by a mile(Not just speed) which was indicative in my rugby performances, came back to show my gratitude and encourage you to keep up the great content although you’re massively underrated🔥🔥 Btw, I included some KB Swings in my routine and man they’re another holy grail exercise for the hip hinge movement and explosiveness in that regard, would be great if you could please make a video primarily on swings and benefits for those who might be neglecting them x
I've watched a decent amount of videos to exercice for speed, and they all rely on explaining exercises on exterior visible muscles. But the one most important most powerful muscle is invisible, and no one talks about it, except in a video comparing Powell to Bolt, and that muscle is the Psoas, which attaches the upper bone of your legs to the back, and who is responsible at what frequency you can lift your legs against the increased force which opposes your movement the faster you go.
@@incorectulpolitic you can't be serious, of course not, but you can't train every aspect, flexibility, coordination, stability, proprioception, muscle in legs, arms, abs, back and ignore the psoas, because everything must fall into a harmonic balance. That's when speed progression happens. You are only so fast as your weakest spot. You should always look for your weakest spot, and that may be the psoas if you feel you can't lift the legs as fast as your arms at a certain point. One of the most important aspect is the force to weight ratio, the more you weight, the more force you need, the more powerful the psoas has to be, the less you weight, the less power you need and coordination and agility may be more important. I can't explain all, people are writing books about these topics. This is the video I mentioned /in french ruclips.net/video/_Qai-AjEA5I/видео.html It also explains the storage of energy in the tendons. Tight tendons hold energy and transfer it with less loss to the bones, loose tendons loose energy, that's where dead lifts may help, as the stronger the muscle pull, the tighter the tendons get, mainly at the age of 17 to 19
Hey man, I really like your training knowledge. Do you recommend doing the same training for the 300m? It is hard to stay consistently at high speeds for that distance, in fact, the last 100m I am gassed out. Also, could you make a video of how to run efficiently in the curve? Thank you and keep up the good work.
Now this is real strength. You can see why ya seriously quick by what you do in gym. Some serious weight on the squat and deadlift and ya olympic lifts. Direct transfer to ya track work and sprint outputs. Love it bro, grt video.
