Good work!

Best show ever! The shows on today suck just like SNL. Not much depth to humor now.

As far as increasing sprinting speed goes it's about increasing stride frequency and length. Work sprint mechanics for stride length and increase power for frequency. It's that simple. Best way to increase power is what has already been mentioned above. Lifting weights at high intensity and plyometrics.

Yes!!! Should have mentioned plyo. Do Olympic lifts if you know them. Squats and deadlifts are good staples. Eccentric hamstring exercises would be good as well.

I meant compete in spring

I actually coach track and field. It all depends what phase of the season you are in. If you don't compete till sprint I wouldn't do too much volume of high intensity sprints. I've seen cases where athletes thought they would get a jump start months season and end up with stress fracures or shin splints before the season…

Many power lifters follow the same template for a split program. I know Westside Barbell splits their program into a dynamic day and max effort day to build power and strength simultaneously.

I found better gains in strength and muscle growth when I gave myself 2 days of rest between muscle groups. For example mon/Thur: legs and tue/fri: upper. When I was younger I did an every other day rotation so I did each group 3x a week with one day rest in between. I plateaued on strength and even lost weight all the…

That's my issue as well. It's nice to feel like you hit the muscles right but it's harder to get going the next workout.

Booty Gainz! Right?

I hit 4,000 cals!

Watch out for creepers and Nigerian scammers

I've been there. Almost back there again.

I'm old enough to remember a time girls avoided lifting weights because it gave them a bigger butt. lol! I'm glad things have changed for the better.

I totally understand. Not offended at all. I respect that.

I need a 5lb cut by nyd

Let me know if you need help and encouragement.

Nothing wrong with it. People photoshop it out.

You can add me as well

We do Cuban presses as well to help strengthen the rotators. Band pull-aparts and other band exercises for injury prevention. There are ways to strengthen the shoulders without OH presses.

Interesting discussion here. I'm a strength coach and I'm hearing more of this lately as well. We do a lot of overhead stuff. Military press, snatch, jerk, push Press, etc.

I would increase volume in lifting as well. If you want to gain muscle you have to train for hypertrophy. 8-15 rep range of heavy weights.

Most peoples are. That's why I'm embarrassed. I work on it all the time. Maybe I need to program it different.

Am I the only one who squats more than I DL? Embarrassing.

That's pretty awesome for a lady! I have a 16 year old girl in class that's at 150 right now chasing a 170 lb record.
