there are loads more of videos also of sprinting. I just surprised at these ones. Most of the athletes are TB deadlifts big weight. Single leg split squats are used quite frequently judging by the vids
THose hip thrust are serious
do you guys reckon they would be lifting such big weights after a track session or on a day dedicated to weights only. Very interesting vids, thanks.
My guess would be after a track session for scheduling reasons. If they schedule it on a day by itself, it increases the delay until speed and SE can be done by a day.
I would predict they are following this structure judging by how Dan Pfaff likes to train his athletes and Mcmillan has similar views. Prob doing something similar to this going by previous Pfaff cycles. Interesting that the Hip thrust is being incorporated. Seems to be not usch squatting focusing more on split squat ,Power clean and trap bar deadlift…One leg power cleans also are performed which i was surprised. Seems that they perform alot of different weight exercises
