Just assume player A has a lot more upper body strength.  Who wins?

Who wins the game, a lot will depend on how good your team-mates are too.

That's very interesting. Could this unracking thing make you become more aware of the hips if that makes sense? (like the iso stim does).

You not using this ISO stim exercise any more Andrew?.

What if it's reverse. The strength is there, learning and being willing to apply it TO THE FIELD is an entirely different issue (think CoolColJ).

OK! Good points made by both.

I agree, weight room strength doesn't necessarily relate to real world strength, if much at all.

Neural adaptations are key?.


Quote from: JC
Since you like to use weight lifters as examples. Powerlifters are generally stronger than olympic lifters. Olympic lifters can probably front squat and power clean more. Does this make them stronger? No. it means they got good at front squatting and power cleaning more through years of practice.

More through years of practice or just steroid usage JC?.    :D

I read Brets' book and while I applaud him for attempting to take a scientific approach to his research about glute involvement I am pretty sure that most of his EEG research was conducted on a sample size of 1 - Bret Contreras. Now obviously Bret has written a book about glute involvement in athletic movements, in particular sprinting, and this may have meant some bias in the either the way he performed the exercises or the way he interpreted the results.

I am not discounting his work at all by the way, I am just saying it needs further study with a broader range of subjects before I would abandon deads etc in favor of heavy glute bridges or whatever he calls them.

in my own training programs I find them good as a warm up to squats and deadlifts but not as a replacement.



Quote from: Bret Contreras
The second biggest mistake is that they fail to perform the best glute exercises. Squats will work the glutes in the stretched position, deadlifts will work the mid-range position, and hip thrusts will work the contracted position. You need all three for optimal glute development, plus some abduction and external rotation work to hit the upper glute maximus and glute medius.

those analogies are bad..

Now chop a sprinter's dick off & run..

Now remove the hands from a sprinter & run..

same shit, bad analogies.

The arms, upperbody & torso play a far greater role in sprint speed than a sprinters dick & hands alone.

Anyway, point being made, the estimation that 95% of ALL sprint speed locomotion is dedicated entirely to the lowerbody just isn't true, hence the handcuff. You can't run to your full potential when you disable the entire upperbody.

The faster you move your arms fr example, the faster the legs should follow.

Skinny looking elite sprinters are still very strong. Just because they look skinny doesn't mean they're weak. Jonathan Edwards was still powercleaning 150kg at 72kg 183cm.

In which department are skinny sprinters strong?.

The best example being Carl Lewis, who didn't lift until the backend of his career?.


Stocky looking elite sprinters are INCREDIBLY strong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9TG3hpUkA8&feature=related

Harry Aikines can power clean 170kg's more than Carl Lewis but still FAR slower on the track.

I quite like Bret Contreras, he has put some really good stuff out.

Original Link: http://bretcontreras.com/articles-and-links/

The: Inside the Muscles - Best Ab Exercises was an eye opener, for me anyway.

I agreed with all the stuff on muscle involvement in vj and sprints etc but after using heavy hip thrusts for a month or so in as a substitute for deadlifts I would never replace axial loading stuff with anteroposterior exercises, even for sprinting. They certainly make good accessory/activation tools though.

I don't really agree with his %'s according to sprints, personally.

Quote from: Bret Contreras
I would estimate that for most individuals around 30% of the locomotive propulsion in top speed sprinting comes from the glutei maximi, followed by 15% hamstring contribution, 15% adductor contribution, 15% contralateral latissimus dorsi contribution, 10% quadriceps contribution, 10% calf/soleus contribution, and 5% contribution from other muscles such as the rhomboids and mid traps.

That is 100%.

Now handcuff a sprinter & run with just the glutes, hams, quads, calf's etc.

There are so many fast sprinters I have researched on that did no weight training at all for developing those muscle groups. Some of the Japanese/Asian sprinters were absolutely blazin', many of them very slight bodytype. Some of the best starts I have ever seen came from those guys, very little BW/inertia to overcome.
