If your legs get stronger tghogether, they are also going to be stronger used independently, the body isn't some cumbersome machine that cant utilize aquired strength to through movements other than exact repetitions of sprint

@@ehLeanne311 i don t know your experience and studies in sprint but you forget some fundamental points. there is no relation about the force got thru weight training at least with those exercises. the fact that an elite sprinter use such drills or exercises, with or without weights does not mean automatically the improvement is given by such exercises and for all other athletes and this is clear since there were and are elite sprinters that never performed such trainings . Elite sprinters cannot be a valid referring points being probably talents and however may have already got the potential. All those exercise with or without weights, i mean classic , the list is very long ,pratically ALL (SQUAT, HALF SQUAT, LEG PRESS, DEADLIFT, SKIP, PUSHING RUDIMENTAL TOOLS and beaitiful company,as parachutes and so on) are only a loss of time . All those exercise fail of the needed contrasting force. i explain better: take the SKIPS for example: the athlete has very few air fase, so the controreaction will be certainly very few. Take consideration that during the sprint, thanks to the acceleration, the increased weight force is about 2-5 times more the weight of the athlete and the air fase is higher so that when touch the ground he will express a increased weight force. Now lets take the SQUAT,for an athlete of 200 libras, even a weight of 400 libras would be insufficient. bUt there is another detail not secundary: the only contrasting force present during this exercise is at the same time used to balance the athlete so the athlete cannot increase repetitions in way to lift more weights. (i.e. under a classic view a weight of 80% maximal can be lifted only 12 repes, but this ONLY BECAUSE the contrasting force is very limited by the position assumed of the athlete during the performenace) To understand this concept you should know how works isotonic machines and I think you don t know. In mostly isotonic machines is the athlet the subject that balance the machine , the contrasting force is produced by the force producted against the support ,in most of this case is the back ,other times is the chest. Performing SQUAT, leaving a part the fact is performed mostly with together the feets (during the sprint te athlete expreess force using only one feet )the contrasting force is given by the feet but the wieght to be lifted requires a force of upper body, and this is one of the most disadvantaged motions ,so it would be always lifted a weight even less ) and however theere is no air fase, the controreaction is not dinamic but pratically isometric, after some weight the athlete will not be able to lift more even if the legs could lift more weights.The ideal exercise to improve in sprint must be performed taking consideration of these facts.

Lewis was long jumping over 27' in high school. There was plenty of strength there. A different kind of strength. He tested positive for a stimulant that can be found in several over-the-counter medications. C'mon.

Well spotted. As a child I thought why are grown men wearing braces? Aren't they for children to help straighten their teeth as they grow? Listen man, the 80s was loaded why PEDs (just look at their physiques) most of our favourite athletes from all sports from that decade were on something. That is why that era was so damn exciting in sports. Not to mention the amount of athletes who were doing cocaine too.

The dirtiest 100 mtrs race ran before or since the majority of athletes were cheating Einstein

@@michaeldevaney5728 do you honestly think I didn't know that? Ben... BEN... ran the most beautiful 100m ever run. The beauty of it all is you don't have to agree with my opinion, and obviously I dont agree with yours. Soooo, just move on, I could care less if you agree or not, I'm not trying to convert people to fans of Ben. I've been a fan since the 87 world championships.

@@stratkiller2531 Well said. I've been a fan of Ben since the '87 World Championships too. The truth is, they were all taking drugs, so it was a level playing field. They're still taking drugs today, but with science having developed as much as it has - the drugs can be clear from their system in MINUTES, so will never be detected in tests done after the race. Ben on the other hand, came off them around 8 weeks before the major events. Ben is a legend, no matter what people say.

He was never wearing a mask, he was always himself. That's what I really appreciate about him, he is one of a very few that are not fake and acting all the time. Unlike Bolt, Lewis, etc.

Nothing is lost as the world still remembers him as the fastest from 1988 to 2007, a lot of them do steroids back then and now, which can not be detected by tests

As if Carl did not dope. Get a life.

​@@emailsheJohnson was a cheat end of story anybody who cannot compete cleanly and fairly should get to fuck out of sport it's clowns like Johnson who have totally destroyed athletics

Cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat

@@michaeldevaney5728 You could never think for your self and always let the Authorities think for you right?

Usain Bolt never ran against Johnson in the 80s. It may sound lame, but very different tracks over 30 years ago made very slight difference with each stride but over 100 m that equates to 0.2-0.3 seconds.

He was on them good roids
