Can you elaborate on the type of work you have been doing with Merritt then please? What has brough him on the last couple of years?
Regardless of who you trained, this style of writing always made me roll on floor laughing.
Then there are the assumptions you make, accusing Sprinterogue of âcherry pickâ from ST, when I know for a fact that he didnât. Although Im impressed you know the book so well that you can recognize similarities.
Anyway mate, a little less assumptions and a less pompous style of posting would go a long way.
Albert, your technical knowledge is very impressive, but if youâre nit-picking at straws, you should know that your first word should have been âItâsâ as the apostrophe applies to the conjunction.
DanPartelly,
Why the personal attacks, buddy. Can you possibly add some kind of substance to this thread? Other wise, move the fuck along.
We all know what âItsâ or âItâsâ mean, but misspelling someonâs last name could mean a completely different person.
I cannot go into detail about my athleteâs training program as I have signed a contract that prohibits the sharing of any information unless provided by the athlete themselve while I am working with them. Charlie knows about this kind of legal binding. I will however provide information on my overall philosphy. A great place to start for anyone is to comb over the âSoviet Sports Reviewâ and ST.
I thought Linford had great flexibility epsecially in the gluts ?
Albert, I do understand that you are limited in what you can divulge, but it would interesting to get your perspective on SSR and Super Training more than simply as references. I think that youâve made it clear that you attempt to taylor your methods to the athlete, so there really isnât a need to go into what Merritt does as by design it is specific to him.
I guess what I am saying is point me/us in a direction so that I/we can a get a better feel for methodology.
Albert,
Here is why somebody working for Verkhoshanskij himslef write the name with âijâ in stead of âyâ:
there is no letter in the english alphabet that can exactly translate the sound of the cyrillic letters âиâ and âĐšâ which are at the end of the name ĐĐľŃŃ ĐžŃĐ°Đ˝ŃкиК, and sound /ii/.
Thus, for the languages with a precise phonemic orthography as well as for the International Phonetic Alphabet the exact translation of âиКâ is âijâ and not âyâ which is a shorter /i/.
Translating âиКâ into âyâ is necessary for the english language but it is not more correct than âijâ, rather the opposite.
Of course, some brainless people might understand that Verkhoshanskij is a completely different person from VerkhoshanskyâŚ
MAXEX training introduced by Tudor Bompa
As you read ST you should know that the Maxex is not an original idea of Bompa. Itâs just the name of a contrast method exploiting the PAP. And⌠I am a collaborator of Tudor Bompa.
when lifting that heavy, the transition (amortization phase) between concentric and eccentric or vice versa involves a very long isometric muscle action
The isometric action in a amortization phase is less than 50% of the total time of the amortization itself. Although elite sprinters can lift explosively loads over 90% of 1RM (nowhere close to a static contraction), and even more so if the ROM is reduced, you might consider a 300ms isometric action a âvery long oneâ considering a 80ms support phase during max speed sprinting, but again training the coupling time is NOT the purpose of strength training, otherwise sprinters should not lift at all.
The bodybuilding myth is the one that assumes that any lift over 85% is going to be slow (both transition time and concentric phase); that DOES NOT apply to sprinters with some strength training experience even with load higher than 85% of 1RM.
Does are not personal attacks , mate. Dont overestimate the importance of this exchange. I just let you know your stlye is pompous. Its a reality.
you are nitpicking on ppl, but you get aggravated and call "personal attacksâ when somebody does the same to you. Lol
Dear Albert,
You are the one who is wrong about the spelling of Verkhoshankyâs name.
Arguing on forum boards is very draining. Lets have find some common ground guys.
I was hoping to push the discussion that direction with my previous post.
Albert?
I guess this is more hamstring and back flexibility, but he could never touch his toes he tells me! I think he tended to work around the adductors and hip flexors in terms of flexibility. He believed this would help open up his stride length. Basic I guess!
With you on that!!
Ha. I have seen that picture. Iâm gonna ask him about that. If it is real. It does suggest good flexibility I must admit, so I may have to conced my poin here!
Ato boldon said somwhere that he was always fastes when he was weakest (during season) and He pointed out that his bench press was 300lb when he ran 9.86 and when he improved it to the 320lb later and he never went under 10s.
