I'm trying to determine what level of strength is required to be a good sprinter (i.e. 100 free).
Could you list your max repetitions of push ups, pull ups and dips? This would give me some assesment on power to weight ratio and strength endurance.
Also, what is your max bench press if you know it? or reps of 225 lbs. I'm curious about what level of pure strength sprinters have.
I think I am deficient mostly in technique and then strength endurance but maybe this post would show me I need weight room work.
haha ... I like that, "blazingly fast little tyke." Very nice. I'd lift more (or at least think about it) if I didn't have so many problems. I can't do any type of leg press or squat because of my knee, and many of the upper body weights hurt my shoulder. I can do biceps & triceps, and rows, and that's about it.
I'm going to do low weight high rep on Monday and see how it goes ... I need to work the core more though ...
Oh, and I'm short torsoed and long legged, not that they are long by any stretch.
