There may be outliers who achieve their best performances in the absence of any type of resistance training program, but the vast majority of athletes have untapped potential that can be realized in part through a well designed and properly progressed strength training program.
Today we will cover a few of the benefits of strength training as it relates to speed and power athletes, as well as discuss broadly how strength training should be progressed depending on your current levels of strength.

This presentation is completely thorough,this can be extremely productive,if one understands mesocycles. Keep it up sir. 👍
Thanks Gregory!

Thank you 🔥
I had a sprained ankle during childhood and during my college years. The nervous system really does overreact and compensate like crazy, lost my elasticity
Tactically apply concentrated doses of loading, wish my strength coach would have told me that fifteen years ago. Excellent information, this is how athletes should train their bodies. Love all the videos.
Thanks Trel!
I enjoy watching you doing the workouts that you say on your videos, it's very illustrative and exemplar. Thanks and greetings from Argentina
Thanks Juan!
Awesome topic.. I spend a lot of time lifting, relatively strong. But sprint specific training really has me feeling all my weaknesses, specifically in my back. Any recommendations on gym work that could help the spinal muscles, the ql, lats and traps? Help me get a hold on posture.. or will more sprinting fix that alone? cheers man
Good summary.
Great content your a beast ✊
Thanks bro
Hey Cody, just found your channel. After a long pause i started playing soccer again. So i thought about how to train to get faster and discovered your channel. I'll try to get through all of your videos. Great resource for sprinting! There is so much information, it's really difficult to find a point where to start. So, i thought about working on my endurance with anaerobic runs (20m, 50m, 100m sprint intervals) and simple strength endurance + full body workouts. Do you think this is a good start?
Instead of focusing on strength first then going to power and plyometrics,I have a strength day and power day in my weekly schedule and I do 1-2 plyometric exercises 5 days a week so I’m slowly progressing in every part :D
Btw idk if this would be good for y’all too cuz I can squat 2x body weight for 2-3 reps so I think I have already built the strength sooo ig if you guys aren’t really strong then you should focus on building raw strength for 3-4 weeks then move on to power and plyos but I still recommend you sprint and plyo even in the strength stages bcuz it helps maintain the fast RFD
Do u write scrips and read it aloud in your videos or u just talk naturally? U speak so well
Depends on the video, but when it’s a more dense topic like yesterday’s video then I use a script. Thanks for the compliment 💪🏽
@@ATHLETE.X awesome
One doubt please do reply. Maximal strength training should be done in offseason or peak season?
According to you what exercises should a 11 second athlete have to do in gym in legs workout
Are you saying I should completely quit plyometrics and power training (cleans and snatches) before I have achieved a base strength level (2x bw squat for example)? Is there easier versions of plyos and power training that I can use to progress alongside basic strength training?
Pinging this comment again so you get notified
Is power / rate of force development training included in one of your training programs? and in general is that training that focuses on the gym or the actual sprint training?
Hey Lucjan, there are lifts that will develop RFD in there, but they are not specifically labeled as such. The off season programs are more general, the pre-season and in-season programs are more speed specific but still include both sprints and lifts.
You talked about being able to squat twice your bodyweight, is that for a 1 rep max or is it twice bodyweight for multiple reps?
1-RM is what they talk about in the research
Hey, Cody, what's your broad jump?
great video,that,s some serious hoops,how often do you do maximum strengh work a week!
Thanks Chase! Right now I'll do one exercise 2 or 3 times per week that emphasizes slow strength, and sometimes I'll add in one accessory movement to target the hamstrings, calves, etc. The rest of my training is either jumping, power oriented, or running in some form (acceleration or tempo at the moment).
What's the first exercise called
Hand supported SSB Half Split Squat Lunge Forward
@@HM-qe9pd this is done for high reps I assume
How can this content be free?
i really dont know dawg, this shit is so prescious and can help someone build a full program. its crazy bruh
What's this app that shows your time of force application in this video?
Hey Nick, the main two apps I used a MyJump2 and VMaxPro which is a bar velocity meter
Nice vid
I see on your website you have sprinting programs. Do you have strength training programs?
Hey Mike, I should have some strength only programs out in the near future. Thanks for asking!
@@ATHLETE.X your content is great.
I'm just curious what's your 100 time
10.66 is my personal best
@@ATHLETE.X thanks sir
I would like to know ur 100 meter time please
Do you train to faliure?
hi code . heavy wight lift can improve top speed sprint im new in lift 2 month .
Which supplement helps you lift weights?
Creatine helps a little bit but nothing crazy noticeable. Vitamin D helps strength as well.
@@ATHLETE.X thank you you're d best
@@marktolit5356 How and what is the evidence? People who claim it hurts the kidneys are confused about creatine and creatinine.
@@marktolit5356 who told you that it has helped me a lot
@@ATHLETE.X one more question sir. My weight is 67kg should I gain more weight.
Change your name to Althene X 😂
Lol I don't need the fake weight fanboys to show up
Sir please reply
you focus way too much on weights. Being strong generally helps with performance. But that doesn't mean we should do resistance training to get there. Strength is very specific. Improved lifting strength doesn't translate into running strength!
Classic strength training more likely will decrease your skill (sprinting) because of the accumulation of fatigue.
We only have a certain capacity to use. Doing more strength training presupposes doing less skill/sprint training. => decrease in sprint performance. Doing both will quickly overtax our bodies. So non specific training should have a place in highly trained athletes.
In my opinion the biggest factor for performance stagnation is forcing the 'training' especially the non specific training.
