SPRINT

➡️ Hill Sprints

Sprinting for short distances is a great way to add resistance to your typical sprints

➡️ Flying Sprints

Start with a build-up jog and then sprint at 100% for a desired distance.
Ex. - 20 yard build-up, 10 yard sprint

IMPORTANT NOTE

Sprinting can be performed in many fashions, but it’s important to rotate the variations of sprints to maintain health and allow your body to recover 💥

TRAIN THE RIGHT WAY

➡️ Nordic Curls

Nordics should be a staple for every training program. Being able to control your bodyweight using your glutes and hamstrings is KEY to building explosiveness.

Start with a variation you can complete and work up to full bodyweight nordics.
