Let’s talk about guys who don’t have ideal sprinter stats, similar to James RB - guys who may be 5’5-5’8, 170-195. These types of sprinters must be weight room strong if they want to compete with athletes who are 5’11-6’2 160-185.
It took me a hard time to actually believe this until I saw it myself. I have said it before, in that I have trained with guys who had the following PRs:
Guy A: 9.9 100m
Guy B: 10.1 100m,
Guy C: 10.2, 20.5 <-HSI wanted this guy.
Guy D (ran for UCLA): 10.3
I have also trained with Angela Williams and other fast girls and NEVER saw them bench or squat crazy weight.
Anyhow, for the guys listed above I never saw them bench over 225 and I have never seen them squat over 315. All the guys are around 175-180, are from 5’11-6’2 and have long legs.
Here I will post a pic of ONE of them.
It’s the dude on the right with the white shorts. That’s my dawg…lol Yes he looks buff but it’s all hypertrophy.
