Leg weights

A guy from T-nation, also spoke of how there are many hip-hyper extension exercises (such as your hip thrusts) that have far more gluteal activation than squats (which are hip extension and not hip-hyper extension.). However, even HE, who eventually reached impressive numbers in weighted hip thrusts, never reported that he ran a fast sprint time. He did suggest a sprinter should include wieghted hip thrusts.
But for me, I don’t think even they contribute much in the way of speed.

Bret Contreras.

True. But in terms of activating/strengthening the glutes, there top $. Many people, Bret Contreras among them, regard glutes to be the No.1 muscle used in sprinting (for me its the core strengthened the RIGHT way) but I’m in the minority.

Talking of times. What about these “fast” shotputters?, Olympic Bulgarian weightlifters?, bodybuilders (Kevin Levrone) etc etc… Since 2003 I’ve been here, I heard people saying this, saying they can hang, I ain’t seen NOTHING to tell me this is true. There talking game too.
