To make a truly effective sprint training program, your strength training needs to be set up for the specific demands of sprinting. Most sprint training programs will incorporate basic exercises such as squats, power cleans, deadlifts, etc. While useful for some time, these workouts eventually lose their effectiveness.
Spend your time and energy wisely by using the tips in this video when you train in the gym!

One more question, when you're doing those strike box jumps, do you think it would be better to have the leg that's on the ground in line or parallel to the leg that's striking the box, rather than behind it? I think this stance position is what Cal Dietz recommends for his athletes when they do step ups.

@standalonejd 5 жыл бұрын

Hey man, great training tips here. Apologize if I missed this in the vid, but, on the weighted low box step ups, what kind of reps and approx number of sets are you finding most effective? And do you like to hit these pre sprint training, post, or on a completely separate, no track day? Thanks!

@ATHLETE.X 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Jeremy! I tend to stick with 3-5 reps on step-ups, and on the jumps 1-3 per side usually. My goal on the jumps is to maximize the velocity and technique, so I try to avoid building too much fatigue at any point in the workout. I try to separate the days, but occasionally follow a lower volume sprint day with lifts/jumps. In a perfect world I’d do something like this in a specific prep period: Day 1 - Light acceleration volume am session Day 2 - Moderate Speed/Speed Endurance Volume mid day session Day 3 - Lift/Jump evening session Day 4 - Off

Nice video Coach Cody amazing content as always. Regarding strength and power training, I’m 14 years old and ive been pretty unsure whether or not i can do true strength training so Ive just stuck with explosive power training and plyometrics. Should i get rid of power training until I’m older and just do jumps or can i do strength training as well as power work?

@ATHLETE.X 5 жыл бұрын

I think at your age, Bodyweight exercises, med-ball and DB loaded strength exercises, jumps, and any speed drills would be appropriate. You can Bound as well, but you need to pay very close attention to how you strike the ground to make sure you’re not smashing the foot into the ground. You can take the concepts from these videos and just regress things a little bit. -Instead of depth jumps, do double and single leg hops to work on your foot/ankle and landing mechanics. -Instead of barbell work, do the same exercises while holding a heavy medicine ball or some dumbbells -Instead of power cleans or other heavy power work, you can do hill sprints and med ball weighted jumps on grass or turf. These are just ideas, but represent examples of what I mean by regressing the exercises. If you keep things simple now, you’ll have many years of great training ahead. If you rush into the fancy stuff, you might gain less in the long run.

@ATHLETE.X 5 жыл бұрын

I’d definitely focus on general strength and basic power. You can do med ball or DB strength exercises (such as a DB Split squat instead of barbell), basic hopping exercises, hill sprints, etc. as stated in another comment, younger athletes can gain a lot from basic work with simple exercises. Over time you can progress to more load, more complex jumps, higher velocity lifts, etc.

@RadixTheTroll 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Cody! Quick question, what are your thoughts on overspeed training for max velocity (e.g. downhill sprinting, or putting on an exer-genie and running towards it instead of away). You mentioned in your video that assisted work helps to bring gym work closer to track work in terms of contact times, but is there any benefit to making contact times on the track slightly lower than usual (say, 75ms instead of 80ms)?

@ATHLETE.X 5 жыл бұрын

I’ve never come to a conclusion on overspeed, but I see logic as to both why it may and may not cause an improvement in flat ground, unassisted sprinting. I do not believe in sprinting down hill, so the only other options are towing or some sort of lifting device. The only affordable option is the exergenie or some bungee setups, which require a third person. If I could do overspeed training easily and safely at the track, I would. I’ll give it a try with the exergenie and see how that feels and looks. My main concern is that it makes sprinting easier and I don’t know what the long term training effect would be on unassisted sprinting. If it can teach a skill or cause some neural adaptation, then that’s good. If it makes the brain think it needs to propel less in a horizontal direction, not so good. Whichever it is we can only learn by trying and research, but the main problem is there’s no practical option for one person to use at a track!

@ATHLETE.X 5 жыл бұрын

Great question. I think I would change the proportion of work done, but still keep general training in there. Younger athletes can get a lot out of basic exercises. Two changes I would certainly make would be: 1. Do split squats instead of attempting to do deep-ish back squats 2. Incorporate more hamstring and hip flexor work, and if anything emphasize stuff like this more than say trying to improve my clean from 300 to 315 or whatever. I still believe in the utility of these other exercises, but not as much for someone who’s sole goal is high performance sprinting.

@totallyraw1313 5 жыл бұрын

@@ATHLETE.X Great answer! Would you also generally lift lighter weights overall if your goal is high performance sprinting? Also what is your opinion on wearable resistance? (I've seen pants that come with resistance bands attached to the inside and another where small weights can be attached to various parts of the body by strong velcro) Some sprint coaches say that training with wearable resistance may actually obviate the need for lifting at all. Thoughts?

Love everything you put out including this one. Here comes the but. But this video seems like you are making your best attempt at making weight training effective for sprinters because many want it to be so. You make clear that much of what people are doing with weights won't make you faster and I think you are correct. This video showed this coach that there are countless things outside of the gym that increase speed so I'm not wasting valuable time trying to make weight training one of them. Most weight training movements will not result in more speed on the track. Tell me, am I tripping?

@ATHLETE.X 2 жыл бұрын

You aren’t trippin, but I think things can have value even if they don’t have a fully direct transfer. This video goes over some of the reasoning: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eb6TiqyFxtWYmIU.html Lifting in appropriate doses can improve things motor unit recruitment, rate of force development, resistance to injury, hormone output, confidence, etc. Also, phase potentiation is the concept that what we do in one phase can set the next one up for greater success. If you spend time over summer getting strong, you’ll have a better base upon which to work on high velocity power output in a subsequent phase. This then lends itself toward developing peak speed Lifting also serves as an alternative form of training when injured or restricted in some way. Machines can be useful for rehab too. I don’t believe in the “squat more run faster” way of thinking, but I do believe it is useful in training for many speed/power athletes.

To be completely honest with you all, the key to sprinting speed isn’t weights. It’s…. Plyometrics. The only thing weights are good for is building “general” strength and durability. Both of which CAN be trained WITHOUT WEIGHTS. Why else have previous Olympic 100m champions been able to achieve their feats without weights ? If you want to do gym stuff, do lunges, step ups, pistol squats, Romanian dead lifts, hip thrusts, hip flexor work. Do not do squats, deadlifts etc. they’re simply general training which will make you heavy and slow. You can build more effective strength which simultaneously increases mobility via lunges, bounds, Nordic’s at body weight.
