I stumbled across this on You Tube…
I’d like to know the forums thoughts on this training apparatus.
Watchted the whole video… it looks like garbage to me. Looking to cut time off your 100m? Use powercranks. Looking to cut a time off your marathon? use powercranks :rolleyes:
LOL…it does seem gimicky…but could it actually have some use? The Cyclic motion and dorsiflexion parts?
Seen them demo’s, know some of the people involved, and think that they have next to no benefit for any type of runner.
On the otherhand, I do think that cyclists can benefit from their use and I heard that Chris Hoy (gold medal track cyclist) uses them.
I totally agree with you man. How is it that some people can so easily look you in the face and sell you bullsh*t? So Burell buys this miracle bike and “SHAZAAM!” athlete’s times drop by the tenths! And it’s ALL attributed to the bike. Well I’ll be damned; sign me up! And while I’m at it, I may as well purchase those shoes that elevate my heels to increase my hops!
They prob got paid a LOT to say what they did. Does it bother anyone that one guy said “My pr” as if he was typing? That really annoyed me for some reason.
Anyways, looks as if the bike just allows you to dorsiflx and get use to the movement, so that way when you sprint your already use to being on the balls of your feet.
Load of crap.
