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.
Fort,re: technique and shoulder problems,I saw a new PT and he said"you have shoulder problems because you have poor neck flexibility which is decreasing the ROM of your scapula and hurting your shoulder." We are working on helping my neck and my shoulder is getting better. Neck stiffness is not a technique problem in any way i can figure out.:dedhorse:
I'm glad you're working it out! Doesn't seem like a technique problem to me either. :dedhorse: My doctor tells me mine isn't either, except I'm always willing to fess up to freestyle flaws.
Yo Smith!
Did you see how TI :smooch: my last post was? It probably made Geek ill. You ole forum baiter, you. I get high blood pressure over shoulders. Just like you get high blood presssure over the inability to drink pinot noir and people leaving doggy poo.

Yes, to all three, except I am very slow compared to Mr. 20.9. And I don't like to count strokes much. I'll stick to TI drills. I'd rather count SDKs. I'm kinda with George on the SPL thing. I speed up when sprinting and slow down when I'm not.
