a 100m/200m sprinter friend of mine has been doing a month of gym with a strongman/powerlifter, i just found out the other day, while watching him doing TRICEPS & SHOULDERS , i sat there amazed, i think he is training every day at gym, which is the first wrong thing, now what would the first things that i could say to him to change back to his normal gym programme involving snatch, deadlifts, incline bench press etc, am i right in saying this is affecting him and his future performance? Any other comments?
how is he recovering when doing gym work every day.leave him alone and just watch him in a few weeks time.bet he’ll be on the physio table providing that hes still doing track workouts
hes not doing any track work at the moment, and he might be going to worlds in august, hes not doing physical harm right? i mean he can still run, just not as fast?
most strongman competitors don’t even do gym work. if they do any, they will squat, the rest of their training is doing the actual events. as quick said, if he has dropped sprinting and has to peak in august, good luck.
