Andalite you are weak as piss despite all ~5000 posts. There IS a westside system--there are fundamentals to it, but they can be altered. Every system can be altered, but so long as the fundamentals...

Failure is extremely counterproductive. Most research on TRAINED individuals shows this. The only time you can get away with failure is when you are either:
1. Completely untrained and cannot even...

The quads are important, but not nearly as important as the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. This has already been said, but should be obvious. Even during acceleration, the quads are not the most...

Practicing with the team at least 2-3 days a week along with lifting your ass off would be a great idea. Even if it was just for technique drills or studying the playbook and such.

ctg--we are talking about athletes, not bodybuilders. Adjusting a bench does not change the "angle" you hit a muscle, by the way.

lol you have to be kidding me--4:20 is certainly not the level where you will "look for anything to improve speed"--while good it won't win most high school districts, let alone states, in the mile....

Why were you doing jump squats if you were training for the 3k steeple? You can use a variety of leg positions when squatting normally as well, although, I see little purpose in doing too much weight...

This is the sports training forum, NOT bodybuilding. Carve out some nice definition? lol get out of here

Shouldn't be doing it then. Leave 1-2 reps in the tank, especially if you have no spotter. I try to do this at all times and ALWAYS when I don't have a spotter. Doing otherwise is just plain moronic.

If you aren't sure you can get it for 1 rep then you shouldn't be doing the weight period unless it's a powerlifting competition. The smith machine is better than nothing, but so is walking as a form...

If you were never beaten, why aren't you pro?

No. Hams + Glutes for the majority (though quads are very helpful).

Try this for 2-3x a week for a couple weeks (at least) and see how it progresses:

-Ice bath (it needs to be an ice bath of some sort to ensure the tissue gets cold enough) the injured ankle for 20...

Few things:

1. Ben Johnson ran 9.79 in '88, not '84.
2. You do slow down significantly in a 200m and even in the 100m (even the WR race slows down the last 10-20m and Powell's speed endurance is...

It's easier to think of stepping over your opposite knee and just think about all of the forces on the ground (once you are upright) being vertical. Actively pushing/pulling will not help you--it's...

The only thing walking is really good for to an athlete is for recovery purposes. Get on a treadmill with a moderate incline (1) and walk at a brisk pace for 15-20minutes. Definitely gets the blood...

You cannot reach maximum velocity on the curve anyways, so maybe 100% effort (which will NOT produce 100% of capable speed when on the bend) is not a bad thing? Just a thought.

There are a lot of...

You are worried about this? You will most likely compete with 19 year olds by the time you're a senior--that is very normal! In the US LOTS of the best HS athletes are held back a year and are...

Who is posting this? How many elite athletes have they produced? I trust guys who have RESULTS we can see with our own eyes (as in world records, world championships, etc.) before I trust people who...

How are they the most effective? They are the cause for ruining multiple athletes careers, specifically, a world champion shotput thrower.

Depth jumps are an extremely dangerous exercise with...
