Yeah, quads aren't important for sprinting. His glutes, hamstrings and hip flexors on the other hand are bigger, although to be fair he's not the biggest of sprinters.
I read that he only weighs 70kg or 154lbs. That is very light for someone who is 5ft 10 inches tall, so he does not have much muscle on his body at all.
Correct! One of the most common mistakes sprinters and sprint coaches make is trying to train like a powerlifter. Increasing your strength to weight ratio in the gym will not necessarily improve your sprinting. Very often guys who get a lot stronger in the gym are surprised to discover that they can't run as fast as when they were a lot weaker. Ato Boldon once said that he was always his fastest when he was at his weakest. That's not to say that you need to be weak to run fast, but that weight room strength does not translate too well to sprinting speed and it can lead to injuries due to excessive muscle trauma and tightness.
The first exercise is called Reflex A, and the second exercise is called Drop Split Squat you can find more of these exercises on Jason Hettlers Exercise Library Playlist.

strong hip flexors are key to sprinting
looool
Karl Lott be black actually
nokia 3310 Michael Bolt was top similar to the singer's name 😊
Karl Lott glutes are important
Rest in peace this guys career. You will be dearly missed.
what happened??
Don't worry, he won 200 like a champ🤘
@@alonberger2281 Yeah! I eat my words, the guy is a true champ.
@@jokuheppu3920 lol at least you admitted it. Great to see.
Didn't know Steph Curry switched to track!
ุ hahahaha
So light and so fast. Reminds me of the 400m record holder Wayde van Niekerk 5'11" 155lbs
In 2020, Andre will be the first one in the Olimpic Games!
Prophet!
Got that right! Won gold in the 200m :)

Here after his Gold Medal in Tokyo!
He's naturally gifted like usain
Usain Phelps Usain bolt was naturally gifted but had to train proper intense in order to get the speed he has now.
Romain Ebanks so if Andre trains as hard he's gunna run a 9.63 you think?
Usain Phelps Oh definitely, but he'd need to train insanely cause he is still kinda young.
future Olympic gold medal winner
and you were right
@@Hydrogenations it was not hard to predict. His running was special back then. So bouncy and so light.
Just goes to show you don't need big muscles to run fast! His quads are virtually non existent!
you dont need big quads, but you need strong quads and hamstrings to be fast.

Hi. You guys used to have a wayde van niekerk training video with music in it. You deleted it? I want you to tell me the song please and thank you.
He looks like an 800 runner
Peter D this is what impresses me the most
what are those exercises called hes performing at 1:43 and where can I find more of those weight exercises for sprinting at?
The exact excersize I'm not sure. But they are generally called
They are called plyomatrics.
The first exercise is called Reflex A, and the second exercise is called Drop Split Squat you can find more of these exercises on Jason Hettlers Exercise Library Playlist.
Big respect to him
The fastest man on earth
Thành Hồ the second because he ran in 9.69 seconds like Tyson gay and Yohan Blake insane these 3 ran the exact same times
Where did you get these clips? Where can we see more of these types of training videos?
2:12 is that sped up? jesus christ
dog nope doesnt look like it
professional sprinters' acceleration is actually insane to see up close.
I think the video skipped a little in that clip.
best montage ever
keep going
his arms go straight as they go backwards is that good ?
Adam Watson no
It's common in fast sprinters
Please sprinter gym training videos
What's up with his arms that long ass extension?
The Andre Arm!
paris banks who knows... but it works
paris banks doesnt matter as far as he takes the arm far enough for it took act like a rubber band
Song name

Olny gym training
you are the best
NICE.... TRAINING WITH ME
nice
hip flexors are key to sprinting
Karl Lott As is every other muscle in your body. You won't go very far just with hip flexors!
+Mulvaney Fitness lol that's like saying ur calves are just as important during a bench press.
No glutes are the key
