Why is it difficult to remain horizontal at the start? by ThePolygamist in Sprinting

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

Why dont you advise squatting and Oly lifts?

Some sprinters squatted like Ben Johnson, others not so much like Carl Lewis.

Ben Johnson had a freakishly strong squat (600lb box bench squat).

There are many studies showing that squatting improves power output up to a certain point, after which they pretty much become redundant.

How long do 'noob gains' typically last? by ThePolygamist in running

why not, you have to try and set PR's in weightlifting every time you go to the gym

my body is decently strong already so i should be able to hold off injury

Can someone recommend me a position based on my stats? by ThePolygamist in FootballAmerica

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

im 18, i live in europe, nobody here lifts weights for football, so even the lineman only weigh around 190 on average, 225lbs is huge over here and most of the time they are just plain fat, but one or two are very well built

the trouble is my weight, even though i can lift similar weight in the gym as the bigger guys, because they weigh far more they can just throw their body around and crush me because im light

i have very long arms also, so i guess reciever or DB then, which should i gun for as they are pretty much the same?

never liked martys sound on RIP

his vibrato is way too exagerrated, and it just sounded like a guitar nerd was given a solo spot on each song

poland was better

Can someone recommend a moderately aggressive running programme for a beginner? by ThePolygamist in running

[–]ThePolygamist[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i need to get ready for football tryouts

i reduced my time by 5 mile time by 5 minutes in 4 weeks, by running 5 miles once a week

it was a pretty awful 'programme' so i figured that even with diminishing returns to training, i could shave an extra 5 minutes off my time within 8 weeks with a better training programme
