training for speed

[jerald prada]

what type of training would you recommend for a 100 meter sprinter guys? I have good muscle on my legs but some guys at the camp with skinnier legs kick my butt in the 100 meters competition.

sprinters get faster by sprinting.. crazy concept i know. you never want to over train but you do need to train often.

i would do a lot of 50M sprints and 200M tempo sprints. this will help you improve your runs. make sure you get as lean as possible

I'm with Steve. Have a watch of Usain Bolt training.

Sprints and explosive weight training like jump squats, weighted burpies...

I train quite a few athletes and I base their programs around functional exercises like that.

Things like kettle bell swings and rope swings are also great...

I think just practice is the best training. With sprinting though, some guys are just better than others.
