    Essop I was friends with 1972 4x100 Olympic Gold medalist Gerald Tinker in the early 90s in Los Angeles. We used to work at the same gym together. Anyway he taught me one of the biggest keys to sprinting was the arm swing as you stated in this video. He taught me the same exact thing you mention, "your legs follow your arms." Gerald was hilarious too. I miss his friendship. I pray that he's doing well. Saludos.

    As a distances runner, your stuff is still super helpful. I hadn't thought of the row as part of the movement chain before

    Dips > Bench Press imo. Builds the shoulder strength more, lower risk. For sprinters the shoulders are what are generating the propulsive force, contributing to vertical force at top speed and horizontal force in the start.
    Then as you said some pulling exercise like a row or pull up is good as well for the opposite arm motion.

      Dips can be as risky

      @@cashews1000 Not at all. Firstly you don't need a spot for dips, if you fail dips you just drop onto your feet. There is 0 chance of you tipping or dropping the weight on yourself if you are going with weighted dips.

    I have a question regarding kettlebell training and how effective this type of training is when looking at supplementing your running ?
    I come from an athletic background running at a fairly high level managing a 10.68 100m time. I also used a lot of hip hinge exercises such as hanging cleans or power cleans to supplement my sprinting. However, kettlebells weren't all the rage compared to what they are now. (Thanks to crossfitters)
    So ultimately, im wondering how effective do you think, say 32kg kettlebell swings for supplementing running ?

    You get tight with all weight training, not just bench. You always have to work on mobility. Bench is far from necessary, but I think it's important to work on all muscles, not just legs and core. Because sprinting is an activity that includes the most amount of muscles in our body of any exercise.

    Nah bench press is lame! weighted muscle ups are king. Ps I can only do pull ups 😭

    • @419er
      @419er Před rokem +1

      True muscle-ups are a good power exercise. I don't do weighted muscle ups but I do weighted pull-ups and dips.
