    It’s not that sprinters don’t have mass they just have it in the right places. They don’t have bulging pecs or biceps because those don’t do them any good but I guarantee their shoulders, glutes, and hamstrings are proportionally as big as anyone’s.

      @@justjumari na bro . The truth is that to gave power you need those muscles. Now you might say usain bolt but that's cause he's tall and his muscles are stretched out. In reality he is big as fuck his arms are dense and bulky. I meet him me self, yohan blake and others. And I'm gonna tell you they are just as big if not bigger then powerlifers and people presumed to be muscular. The camera is the thing that hides this. The Clare makes them look way smaller then they are. But in fact all top elite athletes have some sort of bulky muscular aspect to them. Example; yohan blake, ben jhonson, nesta carter, ferdinand omanyala, treyvon bromell, even christian coleman. It helps with higher force production when you hut the ground especially in the start when you max deadlift comes into play. Hence top sprinters have insane deadlift and big upper leg muscles. Like ben jhonson. But yeah being too big definitely has its disadvantages however if you were to get a really big bodybuilder powerlifers type guy vs a really skinny guy the powerlifter guy most likely wins and all the powerlifter guy's have to do is cut down little bit and focus on thier fast twitch to excel exponentially. I've seen this first hand. One of my best friends who was hulking, little chubby at first ran in our discrit meet and came close second to this other tall usain bolt type guy and then next year after he cut some fat and became fresh he beat the tall one by 0.3 seconds massive improvement so I definitely get your video.

    You would think being light weight and strong would be ideal for running fast but Usain Bolt was 207 pounds and he didn't even lift heavy. Usain definitely wasn't a lot smaller than most people he raced. He was a lot bigger. I don't now if any top sprinter weighed more than Usain Bolt. Generally sprinters are little guys < 190 pounds though.

    I agree with most of your points, but you're missing the mark using elite sprinters as a comparison. You're also focusing on only one aspect of weight lifting and forgetting that lifting weights, correctly, also makes you more resistant/resilient to injury which allows you to do more track work/plyo in a given time and thus, get faster in less time. A guy who runs fast, but is relatively weak is going to get injured every 2-3 months. Also, most of us do not have elite sprinter genetics and would be more than happy to just break the 11sec barrier, or even low 11s, meaning we want to run fast and look good, look at those buff rugby players able to clock sub 11 and weighing over 100kg! It's only when you start getting into the elite/professional level that aesthetics and muscles really have to take a back seat to speed development.
    Furthermore, there's more than one way to run fast. Compare De Grasse and Powell, very different physiques and sprinting styles but they have comparable times.
    Each athlete needs to figure out what kind of training works best for them, but I do agree that the absolute bread and butter of sprint training SHOULD be plyometrics.

    You are wrong. If you do some research of sprinters the olympic class sprinter are heavier than those who do not have that level. That means that the more muscle the more potential you have for sprinting fast. The problem comes that coaches really do not know how to develop sprinting speed. If you notice there has never been any olympic sprinter at the olympics that was not fast before. All of them at their teenage years were the fastest on their school or town. That tells you that coaches do not know how to make someone faster they only take guys with good genetics and train them and make them believe that their program is what makes them faster. No. Those speinters woulve gotten faster doing whatever program. Is still not discovered how to make a human develop sprint speed. Thats also why sprinters peak at 23-25 because thats when the body stops developing naturally. And coaches do not know how to make them faster after their body stops developing naturally. And thats why they turn to steroids because they do not know how to sprint faster. Its not that the added muscle is counterproductive no. As long as you know how the new muscle and the new strength convert it to sprint speed is fine the bigger and stronger the better. But coaches do not know how to do it. Fat is evil in sprinting. The less you have the better.

And too much pro coaches I know personally like les spellman who dont have jcked guys and his fastest guys are leaner and more elastic-driven.

    Bolt is smaller than everyone he races against? The dude is 6'5 nearly 210 lbs. Most of his competitors averaged 5'11 180 lbs, except powell who was 6'2 running around a ripped and jacked 195 to 200 lbs. Linford Christie back in the day was 6'2 210 jacked pounds. Donovan Bailey was 6'1 200 lbs

    true .. but one thing is incorrect . Long tendon they found in studies is good for jumping , and short tendon is good for sprinting . also higher arches feet vs flat feet , high arches are great for sprinting and also martial arts kicking and stability , and flat feet are not .
    Bolt's weight was 94 kilos :D which is crazy . Tall Lewis was 188 cm and just 81 kg :D . And Carl Lewis was so athletic and I wound't have anything against that I look like that . But it's impossible to look like that all life . Sprinting is just short phenomena , your peak is at 26 yrs old and you are going down later . Some rare athletes can keep it to 40 even , but those are rare . Being taller than 190 cm is detrimental for explosivness and being massive too . Bolt is just exception of the rule , one in a billion . for all of rest of us , 175 cm -190 cm range is the best for sprinting and all power sports . 190 + cm is great for 200 and 400 m sprinting , boxing , wrestling - anything that involves more cardio , taller people have advantage in lung strenght on paper at least . we see that in boxing , K1 , mma all the time .. best champs are 188-196 cm tall monsters . 100 m sprint , Bolt is just exception of the RULE and rule is that optimal height is around 180-5 cm , short tendonds , stiff , power athlete with lots of good genetics . sprinting 100 m and swimming 50 m is genetic more than any other sports , because rare are the people with fast muscle fibers 80:20 . But you can improve a lot , I am 100 kg 188 cm white guy 34 yrs old , and recently easily beat my friend who is 28 yrs old , 90 kg mass , 184 cm tall . I left him 10 meters behind me at 60 m sprint . we done 5 sprints , 5 minutes rest between . all 5 I won , and he is very similar genetics to me - average sprinter , he is not cardio machine nor sprinter elite genetics . But I was in sports all my life he was not . I developed abilities in proper age when was the key window to develop it and later in life you just cannot do it . Same genetics for sprinting , and I left him behind me 10 meters ! I keep 1 to 2 training per week , more is not better with sprinting . I do ton of swimming , martial arts kicking etc so even 1 sprint training per week is plenty . 5 sprints , 5 minutes rest between , all out sprints , that's what elite coaches say it's good , they even say 10-15 minutes rest is better .

    This channel is Click bait. Usain Bolt is 210 lbs of shredded fast twitch muscle. If you are not blessed with a high ratio of fast twitch: slow twitch muscle, you must lift for max strength and then convert it to power. This is very complicated.

    Usain Bolt, didn't he lose a metal for using drugs? Wasn't one of the sprinters on the Jamaican relay team caught using drugs? I am 71 years old and was offered a try out at a university in high school, you are born with speed in my opinion the only thing you can train for in the 100 meters is the start, it's wide open, no strategy. Just my opinion most of the Jamaicans are using PED's let's hope they get caught. There are plenty of these young guy's that think they know it all just like the body builders giving out nutrition advice.

    I don’t think people understand you. It all gets lost in their interpretation or something. You always say that it’s important to do weights, but it should be focus on sprinting or have a goal besides getting big. Obviously, athletes will build muscles, they are not supermodels trying to become super thin. And they end up saying things like”my cousin is a sprinter me he is big” or “I saw a guy who was super big and lost weight and quickly was the fastest guy in the block” not sure why people don’t understand that you’re not saying lose weight and muscle. It’s so clear what you’re talking about yet people seem to hear” don’t gain muscle” 🤦🏻‍♂️ I don’t think they understand how being exercising to have the muscles necessary for a sprint is beneficial as opposed to carrying an extra 10-15 pounds of muscles that are not related to sprinting will slow you down. You’re legs pushing a 175 lb person vs pushing 160lb is a big difference. Especially when the body was train to get the maximum explosiveness from a 160 lb frame vs having bigger pecs and arms which don’t help your explosiveness at 175lb. Thanks for the content. 👍🏼
