I'd like some suggestions on how to improve the BR kick. I've been working on flexibility and legs strengthening exercises but maybe I'm missing something. I can barely kick a 100 under 2min and I can pull 100 in 1:44. I'd like to get my kick down to 1:45 and my pull down to 1:30. I have three weeks before a meet. What are your thoughts?
It's rare for someone to be able to kick faster than they pull (without fins). But it's always a great goal to make your kick faster.
If you want to see some improvement, it's not going to happen in three weeks. But after your meet, start working on a plan to get your legs stronger by visiting a weight room and doing squats or leg press, as well as hamstring curls. Plus, you've got to do more kick sets.
You're not alone. I'm one of the slowest kickers on my team, too.
