and I am the proud owner.
I was surprised that no one else bid on it.
You outbid me you mother… actually I already have one. But c’mon, you expect people to actually pay $10 to improve? hahaha
haha. High rollers are laughing at us with our bidding war that didn’t even breach the double digits.
haha I see how you work mort telling me they are not worth paying for that a sled is easier j/k…
Yea but for $8. It worth $8 to use as a weapon to knock out your competition if nothing else.
agreed i should have thought about its other uses.
I’ve searched the forums and materials but didn’t find what I was looking for, so I’m bumping this up in hopes of prompting discussion about practical implementations of the exergenie/IEX in SPP.
What percentage of runs on an Acc Dev day would utilize the IEX
- in early weeks of SPP?
- in the final weeks of SPP?
- moving into comp?
E.g. A 2:1 ratio of resisted to unresisted runs during early SPP, a 1:1 ratio res:unres in mid SPP, and 1:2 res:unres in late SPP? etc., etc.
In various phases, what percentage of runs on an Acc Dev day would use the IEX from
- high starts?
- 3 pt starts?
- blocks?
E.g. are IEX runs in late SPP mostly from blocks? Are IEX runs in early SPP mostly from high starts? etc., etc.
I’m mostly interested in how long to keep resisted runs (via the IEX for me, sled/tires for others) in the yearly programme. We use hills in accordance with Charlie’s recommendations during the GPP. Assume S-L for 60-100m collegiate males.
Look for threads on the use of sleds and you can pretty much transpose the info from there
All of SPP I like to do 2-4 sprints over 30m with the sled follow by normal 30’s and flys or fef etc. During comp I normally have one accel day where the athletes will do 4x30 sled follow by 4x30 blocks. Late outdoor season we drop all sled work.
Sounds about like I’ve done, tamfb. In early SPP1 I’ve had closer to a 1:1 ratio of resisted:unresisted runs, with resisted runs included within the sets, and late SPP more like 1:3, with resisted runs at the beginning like you listed.
I believe in the benefits of the contrast runs, but also think at some point we need to ditch the sleds and get down to the real thing. Just curious how others set it up.
In th epast I have used resisted sprints maybe too much for my team sport athletes. I have gone with shorter periods of using these in “GPP” and moved to more 30-40s with a focus on the last 10-20 ala max speed EFEs, finihsing drills etc
Any reasons why you felt like you used the resisted runs to much?

“The Exer-Genie also Excelled heavily in the sports world and was accepted by numerous schools, colleges, and professional teams and even Olympic athletes. By allowing the motion of the sport to be simulated against selected resistance, and uniformed through a complete range of motion the Exer-Genie became a must have for all sports enthusiasts.” [/i]
Dam, the more I learn about training for track properly, the more I find myself stepping back in time.
Does anyone know where you’d get longer nylon ropes that could be used for isorobics? Maybe home depot? or is online better choice? What thickness should I get? Would about 60-80m ropes cost a lot? Trying to find a cheaper, more portable, storable alternative to GPP hills since I’m having hard time finding hills.
you will find plenty of options at a home depot or similar store as well as on line under climbing rope and utility rope such as:
