no i dont. like i said yesterday i really think it was our setups rushing through the testing etc see below and also remember it was only a mimi peak.

warmup
10 bout 3mins
2x40 2-3mins
1x20

yea with more time and a better warm up he would have been faster. if he had short choppy steps then possibly he was tight in his hips and not striding.

yeh but this guy is short like my bro so really how much can i tell him bout stride length? i know praisi speed teach there combine guys to hit 10 in 6 or less strides thats not good bc everyone stride length is diff u know?

yea very true. it is hard to change someones form esp a stride length.

[buckeyefootball4]

yea very true. it is hard to change someones form esp a stride length.

another tip from my friend he just sent to me bout peaking them:

I would not unload speed in week 8. Certainly keep the intensity. You may drop the volume _slightly_.

For week 9, Monday will be your last full speed day. Make it very high quality, lots of rest between runs and do about 75% volume compared to your normal workout.

Assuming the combine is on Saturday, I would try to get in a heavy bench workout on wednesday. Go up to 95% of your max, but only 2 or 3 sets of 2 reps. This will help keep your nervous system fired up.

Thursday, warm up and cool down if you have a chance. Get a good night sleep. Friday try to relax. Saturday perform!

i talk to usc strength coach today and he said he teach his guys to be upright at about 12-15yds what u think about that.

as in comparence to what? what do u teach? usually i am leaning forward until about 12 yards and then i start to straighten out and knees get higher and higher and stride out. i think it sounds right in comparence to what i do. but who says i am right. it just works for me i guess.

it does give ya time to lean forward and stay low long. then you explode the head up and begin to straighten.

myself whenever i run my 40 i drive out to about 30-35yd, maybe bc i am also a track guy and most of the track guys at the combine did it the same, he also said bush could have ran faster if he didnt drive out that long. so in saying that i teach most of my guys to drive out as long as possible the stronger you are the easiest it is.

[JJEB2]

yea i just think its my lack of training the way you do. so i should try to stay low longer and keep the lean forward longer? do you think this will have a negative effect on me bc of my running style as i posted above.

i am a straight up and down runner with my knees high. almost similar to huff.

no not at all, i think you will be ok. i was always taught in track to drive out long you see those world class guys driving out long.

also remember when u r tired the first thing to go is top speed ability>

[JJEB2]

well i was saying in terms of taking his fastest 20 yard sprint usually u want to hit a 1.8 or 1.9 on the last 20-40. in his case it was a 1.94 if i recall correctly. with that being said he should be in the 3.5 range considring the last 10 would be his fastest.

oh no excuses needed i am positive it has to do with the fact he had the frees on which are still light, the testing and the workouts.

got it.. also after thinking all night/morning i have decided to keep the old plan with the 10-20-40 on wed and 10's and flying 20-30acc zone on mon. dont ask me why just a gut feeling, hope i am doing the right thing bc i like to see all the people i help succeed.??

[JJEB2]

yea well go with it then. always go with the instincts on it

[buckeyefootball4]

yea well go with it then. always go with the instincts on it

LOL, what u think?

[JJEB2]

i think u cant lose either way bc both are well thought out plans of attack and either can work just as well as the other. both have the same volume and the only difference is the excercises done. honestly either way it should work.

have you ever seen anyone like this guy before with all the diff speed in diff areas, fast 10 slow 30 etc

[JJEB2]

not really. esp when he has been training if so he should have increased his top end speed. but also u gotta remember i am not around or workout with many sprinters so there are very few guys i have actually seen run.

yea i was thinking of doing that tommorow to see what the deal is and where i am at. u think i should test the sprint shoes on the turf field by me just to get a feel for it? or track test it?

if u can turf thats what i would do.. what times have u been running

[JJEB2]

last time i did my 10 it was a 1.47-1.57. last 40 bests were 4.48 and 4.51 or 4.52. scattered with some 4.6s in there. its very rarely that someone is around to hit me up with a time bc all my boys are working or at school and i run at 1230 in the day. wish i had someone to consistenly work with to really look my progress.

i talked with my boy who i am supposed to workout with tommmrow so hopefully he doesnt bail.

yeh im gonna start timing every sprint he does flys

[JJEB2]

yea i would really break him down for sure. analyze every single number and think of variables. make notes on his form on each one. i am sure you will break it down nicely and come up with a solution. ya know?
