So, favor overall relative body strength (“core” generally speaking) over maximum power?
Seems that those guys who can do backflips or planche push ups or walk around doing a hand stand etc. have tremendous core strength. Having great coordination/control of your body sounds like it should be the focus of your training.
If the fast runners have strong hip flexors and glutes, how important are squats? Or how strong were their glutes? How important is “squat strength”? Especially for the non-eliete athletes.
Would an 11-12 second 100m dash runner benifit from strength training if the training period was only a few months?? Or should strength training be generally avoided to spend most (all) CNS energy on speed
