Arm recovery/stroke question

Work on squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, and dips. That will help your sprinting speed regardless of any technique issues. Agreed... the "man" excercises i.e. biceps and bench are only going to help sprinting a tiny bit. I substitute pullups and dips with tricep pushdowns, seated close-grip rows, and close-grip pulldowns. I do a LOT of the latter two because I feel they are the same direct movement my arms are making for sprint crawl. ( I feel there is more value there for me because I can work explosiveness on the weight machine whereas I cannot on pullups or dips. When you're a fata$$ like me, pullups and dips are a potential cause for injury because it is just too much weight. ) Just as a side note to the weight training... don't ignore the stabilizer muscles also. Its far less thrilling to do external shoulder rotations with 5lb dumbells than 250lbs on the bench, but its important nonetheless.
