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.
OK,
I have decided from this thread thatmy strength is acceptable and for the time being, my SPL is acceptable at 9-10 per 25yds.
So what is left?.......technique, which includes the strength of my kick and how I incorporate it into my stroke. Also strength endurance which is borne out of the seriousness of the training. I know I am lacking in this department just due to the changes I see in my lats the past year. I just don't have the needed muscles fully developed yet.
I will work on getting some video analysis.
Thanks for all your feedback.
