And we are off! Holding my body low while taking the first few powerful steps, hitting just a bit behind my point of gravity. While having no fear of falling i`m propelling my self forward. Keeping my shoulders low and using the torque to give me the edge. You know i have been sleeping well and having a comedy look on life, so lord knows i`m stress free for the proper neural recovery ANDDD no one is stopping these bad boys from sliding on tartan. The rhythm is almost perfect and moment of ground contact is short ( we did not do those uphill - downhill , reactive plyo drills for nothing). Engaging the psoas and sartorius for 1 additional 1km/h, raising my body the head is high, staying tall while reaching top speed trying to relax. BOOM leaning upfront to cheat away some time *click hand measured. Look at the watch, clocked 0,05 faster then PB..... Think that made my day..? It made my whole month.
Encouraged me on my squat journey, heading for 315 for 5 ATG from 185 for 1 in September. I reached 285 for 5 a couple weeks ago but found that I had begun to squat higher and higher as I went up in weight. I still squatted to parallel, but it was higher than when I'd started and decided I needed to fix my form and go even deeper than before if I wanted to continue increasing the weight.
Love the show been watching for awhile! Been hearing a lot about the psoas muscle with driving force in ground! Just wanted to know your take or will you do a show on it! Keep up great work either way! Love what you put out! Thanks Steven
Do a video on weight loss for sprinters I'm a Jamaican collegiate athlete I need to get down from 180lbs to 165....160 would be awesome tho I'm a 110 hurdler
Essop - considering your opinion on weightlifting (in that it's not necessarily beneficial unless done with absolutely the correct intent - as described in the clean video and a lot of others), how do you recommend finding your limiting factor in order to make training more efficient and applicable to sprints? Love the videos by the way.
Hey Essop, love the videos. What are your opinions on potentiation workouts? Is there a place for them in training, and if so, when would it be best to use them?
sprinters are by far the worst when it comes to range of motion. infect the more range of motion you have the worse you are at sprinting. you don't need range of motion to be great sprinter.

Hey I’m 15 and I only started athletics last season and ran 13.56 in 100m. I joined late in the season. I’ve kinda stopped over the winter. I don’t excel in the start or ending of the race and I’ll have almost all summer off because I won’t compete. Should I just sprint more often like 60s and 100s instead of doing loads of complicated stuff like sled pulls and plyos and stuff?
Colm hEartáin Study more of Essops videos & definitely research the sprint coach Loren Seagrave of IMG Academy. Study him over and over again, he talks about "leg pop" or "popping the thigh". Sprinting is a 'skill' that almost anyone can develop. Also sprinting has more to do with foot strike power vertically & directly striking your for under your hip to explode & propel your body horizontally across the track, than anything. But & that's a big BUT, it can not be efficiently executed without that correct "thigh pop" first, to set up your foot strike up appropriately so that you can be explosive. Definitely watch all of Essops & Loren Seagrave video's & definitely practice little by little, slowly, plyometric training to stimulate your nervous system, resistance training (sleds for pulling & pushing) to get you use to that stimulus, so when you actually sprint, it will make you feel much lighter & easier bc you're stronger, weights but done lightly & for body balance with your muscles, & definitely do your drills as efficiently as possible & absolutely sprint. But I'd start with block work first, to work on your first step to bring you to your 2nd step, 3rd step, etc. I would start to master your first 10 meters & then your next 15-20 meters, & on and on until you've mastered the whole 100 meters. Just like Essop says, the Charlie Francis way is probably the best way, from short to long & develop your skill, conditioning, abilities, bodies muscle balances, strengthening your nervous system etc. Little by little, one step at a time. As you keep developing everyday, you'll run more efficiently, easily with less effort & your sprint much faster. Who knows, if you stay at it, you will break the world record of 9.58. I'm not joking either. No one really knows what they are capable of unless they give it their best efforts with the best information for them. But this takes tremendous effort & all that you have. And don't forget to sleep, rest & eat well for fuel. Recharge your nervous system. God Speed. Keep me posted on how you're developing. Good luck.

Love this video!!!
Mah man, always quality uploads.
Can you please do a video on supramaximal eccentric training and triphasic training in general and how to execute it. Thanks.

Too long between uploads. U the man. Even if ur not, u make me think
So glad you know about my boy Clarence!

Essop I know this is off topic but is doing the lunge in a long way help your posterior chain for sprinting faster as well
5:28 wasn’t prepared for that essop
mish775 yeah, it was a real twister!
WE MISSED U ESSOP U SAVED ME FROM MY INJURY AND I HAD PB’s all year around
mad funny my guy
Welcome back, Essop!
Did not expect to see the boy who lifts here!
Great stuff man
Glad you are back
Dropping jewels.
Another video yay!
Another great vid. Woop!! Whaaa!! Thank you!!
Another classic video ❤ good stuff bro
nice video Essop!
I vote Essop Merrick for philosopher king of the TH-cam fitness sphere

Big fan, you’ve helped me a lot. Quick question for you, do you think that 600 meters are good for working on speed endurance for the 400 meters?
Hey Essop, love the videos. What are your opinions on potentiation workouts? Is there a place for them in training, and if so, when would it be best to use them?
What is the number of days you should train, recover, and super compensate. This wasn't clear to me. Thanks.
is hip thrust a good exercise for sprinters in your opinion? perhaps for developing hip hyperextension?
Thanks for the video but you didn't showed the correct way or proper way of doing it it's still unclear to me what to do?
ag135i key is in the beggining
LOL heavy!!
Hey! You know Clarence Kennedy! What do you think about the fact that he's plant based?
Essop is there any correlation between cycling and improving atheltisim besides improving your VO2 Max and Cardiovascular health?
Not essop obviously but from personal anecdote, cycling with similar form to my running form made me a better runner
What about deadlifts which require a higher hip position?
sprinters are by far the worst when it comes to range of motion. infect the more range of motion you have the worse you are at sprinting. you don't need range of motion to be great sprinter.
Hmm, this doesn't make any sense to me. How is range of motion hurting sprinters?
said by no sprinter ever, you obvioisly dont know about the hip extension role, that's literally what propels you forward

how much salt do u eat per day?
lol so many athletes quarter squat
Does swimming make you sprint faster?
Fidelroyolanda yes.. majorly

@@BreuckelensFinest It's been two years, how are you doing? And what time do you sprint?
Phahaha
