Lower weights. Almost everyone can fix their form if they have bad form by just lowering weight. It's an ego thing and most people think "oh I just need to change something and I'll be fine" It's the...

As long as you're eating and at 5'9" 129 lbs you seem like you're a bit small and also you seem like you're new to training, running, etc. Running that much will not cause you to lose muscle, it's...

It really depends on how far you can already throw and what school. As a former track walk on, what I would do is figure out where you are at. Go to your local high school, throw the shot with out...

Hey guys, so before I write down my split, here's some basic info.

20, 5'9" around 160 lbs, if I had to guess 11-12% body fat.

For lifting stats, I've never maxed out but for reps,
Bench:...

Haha. Wasn't farzamk around 14 years old when everyone here first realized he wasn't who he said he was? That was around 3 years ago or so, so at least he stuck with his real age this time. That is,...

Well yeah, I totally agree with you on everything you said. Everyone's different, but what I was trying to get at was if you have an athlete, say started 13 years old, went to HS, college, pro. His...

Because your squat is really low and your deadlift can increase as well, I'm guessing you're speed will increase.

Yes it's true that around late 20s you'll start to loose a bit of speed. I want to...

Oh, I think you may have mis-read it. They're sprinters, I just threw in their cross country time to show that they're decently conditioned all-around. Sorry if that caused any confusions.

But I...

Like the first reply, you're over thinking way to much if you want to know how to properly breathe. Breathe naturally, you'll be fine.

Now if you want to focus on something, your form would be...

1. As you said, you're very inflexible. Just static stretching alone every day (after work outs on days you work out), will increase your flexibility tremendously. Not only that, it does wonders with...

That's what I was contemplating doing, we did that back in high school my first two years. It worked great. I really don't know why I didn't decide to go with that.

Would you recommend doing doing...

Hey, thanks for even opening this thread. It's going to be kind of long post, and I'm hoping you guys read the whole thing, but if not, below I've written out a strength training program for...

Running, asics. There's a reason why a lot of runners like asics. Plus, I've been wearing them for other training stuff and they're decent.

As for training, pretty much what ever you like will do.

If you weigh in at 163, squatting double your weight would be 326. Now I don't know if you meant one rep max or doing reps of double your weight. But I'm gonna guess you want a one rep max of 2x your...

I would have to put visualization and consistency I think would be the two things that all successful people have.

Also, a lot of times I tell younger kids who run at my old track team, that you...

If you're doing 3 days a week, I would do something like:

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Warm Up
Dynamic Stretching
Track work out
Plyos
Weight Room

You're running events are pretty damn good, not often do you see a 11.3 100, 50.x 400 with a 4:39 400. basing off your times, I think you can easily improve your long jump. An 11.3 can get you to...

Pretty much what he said.

1 speed, 1 extensive tempo and 1 acceleration sound good, but if you want some more feedback post up what your actual work out is (along with the questions tomlefco...

Here's one I made for track, (it's based off a track speed training book). Alter it to your needs, strength and how in shape you are. It worked really well for me and others I've given it to.
