Thanks for another great video! I just had a question this has probably been one of my longest seasons ever because of having meets from January up until July. What would you have an athlete do after their last competition of the year should there be a period of complete rest or active recovery just jogging and drills? I had my last meet for the year last weekend and this past week I just used to give myself a break.
Hi there - after such a long season I think you should take a rest for a week to two where you chill ... however, depending on the length of your break, I'd then advise you to do some training that gets you ready to return sharp and conditioned to withstand what you need to do. My senior athletes are asked to do some light plyos and sprint drills a couple of times a week, play some relevant sports (tennis, basketball) etc so that when they return they could if they were asked sprint, say 30m. Much depends in your coach's philosophy he/she may have a build up phase on return to training. I don't do that in the traditional sense - we are quite specific from the off, as you'll know from the videos. If they have a long build up sort of pre-training phase then there would be less need to do as ive just indicated. I don't like "wasting" trying time ... I want to build speed on speed and jump ability on jump ability and not train away from those goals and potentially lose ability and lose time getting it back. Hope this helps
Your best bet would be to do lots of sprint drills (including standing ones - as shown in the video). You need to really focus on the path your leg travels and focus on pulling the foot through over the knee and without sideways movement. You can also use elastic bands to do various sideways (short shuffle step type drills) to work you hips in order to perhaps better position your legs and utilise the relevant muscles. Hope this helps and stay safe.
Thanks Coach. Coach I Have A Question What Type Of Exercises long jumpers should do for arm and shoulders .please List Some Exercises for long jumper. Thanks Coach
I will make a video on this sometime in the future. I'd suggest that med ball throws would be a good way to work the arms and the whole of the body with certain exercises. As a jumper you don't want unnecessary additional weight which can be the product of larger muscles, so I'd avoid exercises such as bench and shoulder press, for example. We do do some rowing moves - upright rows, single arm rows, as they help stabilise the back musculature and also work the shoulders in a way that has a synergy with the way the arms work when sprinting. I'd much rather work the legs with plyos and the whole body with med ball throws and possibly cleans and hang cleans rather than do specific focussed upper body work. Hope that helps and look out for the video.
what do you think about weight loss? what type of workout should an athlete do if they need to lose about 30 lbs to compete and still keep the muscled they have developed?
Okay, that's not a simple question to answer ... it depends how muscled the athlete is and/or how much fat mass they have. So, perhaps tell me a little more - it's going to be a different scenario, for example, if a 110kg shot put type athlete wants to loose weight compared to a less athletic person who has those extra 30kg...
Okay, well you may need to look at the amount of muscle mass - if the athlete is big on top as it were then cutting out upper body medium heavy weight sessions (eg 4x10) could reduce muscle mass. Muscle weight considerably more than other body tissue. If the athletes is strong then cutting out weights all together may be an idea. After that the more obvious ones such as cutting out all ‘sugar/sweet and convenience food for healthy options. Lean meats and veg reducing carbs by a bit as long as energy expenditure is met... now there is a way to quickly reduce weight but it should only be done for a week or so (and not if there are underlying medical issues) ... train intensely in the evening and only consume a light snack after - make sure it contains protein, then in the morning before eating do 20min or so of aerobic low intensity work. Eat enough afterwards to balance energy uptake and then repeat process for 3-4 days eat properly up until the evening session and go light after You’ll potentially increase metabolic rate and reduce calories between lets say 9 at night and 9 in the morning and this should create weight loss. Only do this for a limited time and then resume balanced healthy calorie meeting expenditure
1,36 that's a simple one for me when watching tv. I want a 20min 5k and 100kg back squat 10 reps. Good swimmer cause im floppy joints. Muscle and heart get strong but bad ligaments or something.
Thank you
Excellent!
Awesome
Very informative video...
Thank you
Niiice. Just what I needed.
Many thanks and glad to be of service!

@@Johnshepherdtrackcoach so the athlete is a jumper type who competition weight is around 165lbs but weighs 190lbs currently.

Plot twist: at 2:30, both guys are running in place, but the frame rate makes it look like they’re not moving
