Standing or blocks?

i have been coming out of a 2 point stance... I play DE in a football league... Figured sprinting would be great for dieting as well as improving my game... I feel like i am running in mud for my first couple of steps...

Since you play DE, I'd sprint out of a 3 pt stance.

Unless you are trying to get your 40 better, then I'd use a 4 pt for 40s and timed runs.

need more strength, hit the full squats and deadlifts (all types)

Coolcoj has is right, you don't have enough strength to break inertia.

Thanks for all the advice... I just started squats and deads a couple of weeks ago, hopefully it will help...
