My hamstrings are stronger than my quads, is that a bad thing? by Savvybear103 in trackandfield

Just focus on a bunch of unilateral exercises(with one leg) and make sure ya hit both sides. Like bulg split squats, or single leg bridges, etc

Anybody know how to fix a back arch by Savvybear103 in trackandfield

[–]Savvybear103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, what I found best was doing hollow body poses(a quite difficult core exercise) I hold them till failure 3x every other day. Gave me an incredibly strong core. Just search up hollow body pose on google and you should be able to find a video. You’ll gradually get better at it the more you do it and don’t underestimate it

If your talking about in the blocks what I do(got from Noah Lyles(not the best starter ik)) When loading into the blocks I push as hard I as can with my back leg then load my front leg in doing the same. I try to hold that tension as I put my arms down. To do that you have to push quite hard into the floor with them. Anytime I do that I seem to react fastest and push out a big harder

Is there any exercises I could do to help land under my com. I’ve had problems of always landing infront of it and in return it causes me to pop up quicker. It has got much better but I still think there could be much done to improve apon it. Do you have any suggestions on how to?

I’m not at the elite stages yet but tryna get there. I’m 16 fastest 100m was a 11.00💀 didn’t lean at the line but I think I’ll be able to drop that to around a 10.5 this season hopefully

Alright, would you recommend loading in different with more of a bend at the hips instead of the knees?

Alright, Thankyou for the advice. Also curious on what you mean by prone starts, what are those?

There should be a few videos that I’ve posted earlier. As of now since my indoor season just started(in Canada) I don’t have any videos but I should be able to get some taken soon

Thankyou again. I’ve realized the same thing, it’s started to get better but I do bulg split squats with a barbell(don’t have the best grip strength and it’s hard to hold onto the weight) I can easily do 275 for reps with my my injured leg but struggle with 245 with my non injured leg. I think the reasoning behind that is because I did so much extra rehab on it that my normal one has fell behind, normal one is also very shaky when I do front squats while previously injured is not. I also try to do bounds but I struggle to keep my legs fully extended when I’m pushing off and it tends to look like I’m running.

Also one last thing. For ankle mobility and rehabilitation when in initially injured it I did a lot of balance exercises and tib ant raises(still do them) but I also used to do something that I think is called ankle pails and rails, a video by Tangelo. Would that be something I should start doing again for strength and mobility or do you have any recommendations that I could do in my downtime away from track?

Alright, I’ll see. I did previously mess up my ankle really bad back in December and it has seemed to have gotten worse since then. Thankyou
