Hey guys, I know theres a lot track and filed throwers here. I Wanted to start this thread for the sole purpose of all of us exchanging information etc... I also wanted advice from some of the more experienced throwers. This is my first year throwing and we are about 2 weeks in season for track....

Yes, I'm sure this has been posted many times before. No, I don't care. I'm interested to see how tall the people that can dunk are, and how tall the people that can't dunk are. I'm only 5'7", maybe 5'8", and I'm almost able to dunk on a 9.5ft, and then after that I'll work up to standard...

Hey fellas, I remember there was a long rugby thread going a little while ago, but I guess it was deleted for some reason. So I made a new one :D This thread is for discussing anything related to what I, and I'm sure many of you, consider the greatest sport in the world. Go!

Hello gentlemen, I was just curious if there are any bodybuilding runners in here. I can't be alone. I know in general runners fear free weights and bodybuilders don't run much. I recently started a blog site about my efforts as a Bodybuilder to run in a Marathon and maintain maximum size and...

Im pretty curios about it for all positions but mainly Cornerback and free safety, also how fast can they run their 40s ussually? I searched google but couldnt find anything on high school players.

Doing a broadcast this evening (thebiginside.com), and we're interviewing some male cheerleaders. These guys are professionals (one cheers for the Boston Celtics, and both compete in cheerleading), and likewise these guys are diesel. They, in fact, probably look more like the stereotype of...

I'm a division 1 football player. I can answer most questions you may have, I've been through all of the different phases. Early on in highschool I was extremely inexperienced and lazy, I got fat and had a few major setbacks. Then I dedicated myself in the weightroom and in training and turned...

OK, so, I'm 25 years old, 1.75 meters tall, weigh 80 kg, and I've been lifting for about 4 months. I can bench press 50 pounds, curl 40, squat 50 and deadlift 80. Sounds like not much but it is if we consider that when I first started I could barely bench press 10 and deadlift 40. Since I live...

hey because a couple people have asked me to write it up and email them ive just decided to write it up and post it here...... some people may think it is alot but l got great results with it: i got faster i now run bout a 4.3-4.4 40yd one of the fastest on team and i was in best...

Do you think that 6ft1 and 230 is enough for a Defensive end to play d1 or d1 AA ? I will be 6 ft 2 on the roster but I am more 6 ft 1. Just to gather a lot of opinions .

Hey guys, (This actually turned into a pretty long rant, I apologize) As you can see by my profile I am 5'11'' and around 220 pounds. This past summer I went to camp after "helmets-only" camp to demonstrate my athletic skill, the only problem was: I went out as a linebacker. I...

Is the high bar or low bar squat of better benefit to the athlete on your guys opinion? I'm specifically a basketball player so which is better for me?

Alot of people think that squats and deadlifts are the most important lifts to get faster and stronger. I have to disagree with this, especially for in-season lifting. Here is why upper body work is important: 1) With running sports, you can hit the non-prime mover muscles and strengthen...

Hi, I am 20, I play No. 8, for County and a Club in National Division 2 in England. I am looking for a 16 week programme, aimed at developing; • Cardiovascular Endurance • Speed If you have any program's you could send my way, or general advice, it be really useful.

I saw in a magazine i read about: Snatch Grip Deadlifts 4-8 sets of 1-5 reps to help the start Bulgarian Split Squats 3-4 sets of 4-8 reps to help acceleration Barbell jump Squats 4-6 sets of 3-6 reps to help top end speed I was wanting to see if anybody knew any that would help a 100m, 200m,...

What songs do ya'll listen to, to get ya'll pumped up before a lift, or a game or a throw? Our first track meets only a week away and I have a few songs from Mudvayne but thats about it, I need smoe good ones to get my psyched up before my throws. Anything ya'll have will be appreciated.

Alright, now first off I feel like a total newb for asking this question.. but... Is it ok (beneficial) to do push ups everyday? Usually, obviously, your supposed to give your body time to recover (48 hours)... but on wrestling teams, and in the military, and things of that nature (all kinds of...

I tried out for my rugby team at college this year (a decent d-2 rugby program) and I made the team and actually ended up making the starting line up this year as a wing (if you couldn't tell by the 5 foot 8 155 lb body) but anyways the offseason is coming up and I'm looking for ways to gain speed...

Okay so I'm just starting doing rugby for the first time other than in pe. Although my friends and one of the adults thinks ill be fine, I'm kind of nervous because everyone else will have been playing for allot longer than me and because of the situation of the team ill be playing with guys up to...

I heard NBA guards are able to squat in the 300's and bench in the high 200's. I know it's not that much but I'm not convinced that they can actually lift that much. For examples look how skinny Steve Nash, Stephen Curry, and Brandon Jennings are. I doubt they can lift that heavy. Does anyone have...

What do you think is better for football(soccer)/Rugby to build explosiveness/strength and speed on the pitch? I can currently do 115kg x 3 reps on ATG and 130kg x 4 reps on parallel. Been focusing a lot more on atg though latley

Need to go from 0 to 60 when I'm sprinting. Playing baseball and I want to get faster for base stealing/pickles/catching fly balls/grounders etc. Will doing power cleans help along with sprinting up hills? Any better ways to improve this will be much appreciated.
