In this video, I discuss the considerable benefits of sprinting. Sprinting is a brilliant tool for losing weight, building muscle, increasing athleticism, and developing a skill that you might genuinely someday need.
You may have seen pictures showing the impressive physiques of sprinters. We are told that this is because sprinting produces large amounts of anabolic hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone. One study even suggested that sprinting could peak growth hormone by as much as 2000%! There are caveats here (see the video) but it’s undeniably impressive.
So, why does this happen? Simply: sprinting is an exercise that allows you to maintain maximum effort while training a huge proportion of the body. Sprinting trains the legs, yes, but also the core, the shoulders, the pecs, the biceps, the triceps, and more! It is TRULY compound.
This not only translates to athleticism across the board, it not only burns a huge amount of calories; it also triggers that aforementioned spike in hormones.
What other exercise lets you go THIS hard, this long, without any equipment?
And, of course, sprinting is a hugely functional movement pattern in itself. Being able to sprint could save your life and is crucial for the vast majority of sports.
You know what they say: use it or lose it!
Do you train sprinting? Would you like to see more sprinting content in future? Thanks gang!

sprinting is one of the best all-in-one exercises out there, maybe THE best. But before you sprint, slowly go and watch the track for holes or obstacles and remove them. And start low (fe 3 sets of short sprint followed by a long break and slowly improve set count/sprint distance. The first time I sprinted I had extreme DOMS in muscle that I did not know existed in my body.

I always loved longer sprint reps for a workout, such as 6/7 x 400m sprint with a 60 sec rest, usually finished with a 10 min jog, it’s a great way to improve stamina, keeping up a near maximal pace for an extended period (extended in terms of sprinting) and keeping the heart rate going and smashing them out was great for improving stamina and speed sustainment, whilst also getting some endurance benefits due to the session lasting about 20 mins. Sadly I trained too hard and badly tore my calf muscle, I haven’t been able to run in nearly 2 years. Combining longer sprint reps with some long distance runs is a great way to increase your overall pace when training for track events and 5k/10k type stuff

Hated hill days when I ran track, but none of us could argue with the results. They were "nice" in that we only had a set distance we needed to travel (to the top) so we could go as hard as possible then take our time with a slow shag back down to the start. Looking back at it from a weightlifting perspective, it fits really well into the Lifting Set model which just confirms the strength benefits of the workout. That all said we balanced sprinting days with Tempo runs for sustained speed and distance days for VO2 max; looking back there was a lot of wisdom there that I'm only now rediscovering.

1:27 It's less abduction than keeping your arms close to your body. You don't want to move them across your body's frontal plane but move them in the sagittal plane. This, however, stretches your pecs pretty well during the backwards motion (which under tension also stimulates muscle growth) and there is still a decent amount of pec activation involved in bringing the arms forward and keeping them in line. I'd also like to add just how comprehensive an exercise sprinting actually is: I do track and field training and the last sprint training left me with aching in my upper back because the explosiveness you mention requries a lot of work from those muscles, too, when your bring your arms forward (while the backward motion works the rear delts and lats). Even the muscles in your upper arms do more than one might expect since the biceps and triceps also contribute to the forwards and backwards motion respectively (the biceps in particular has to catch your forearm at the end of the backwards motion), and some tension in your forearms keeping your hands flat and open further enhances that muscle activation. Sprinting truly is a full body exercise.

I would only add.. the benefit of a coinsiding, mental "hack" of imagining your being chased by an animal or someone.. while spriniting at top speed, and then afterwards to stop lay down and express relief from the "chase".. I mean what else is working out, but mimicking the hard work we used to do in nature or on a farm, hunting or foraging for days. So this pretend... mental stress, also triggers a hormonal response that helps in building muscle and endurance, all beset by the bodies inherent intellgence to protect itself from harm.

Good. I learned long ago that fake/forced smiling can induce the same response as real joviality. Based on that, when I learned that victory increases testosterone, I took to mimicking/acting out victory in the belief that it might trigger some of the same hormonal response.
