Let’s get back to your post. Number 1 is solved, I know what the issues were and they were all my fault. I didn’t have much control with a lot of things last season which lead to many of the injuries. Number 2 I am not changing, it’s how I run and when I have made changes they didn’t work. Number 3 is from all the hammy injuries, if you look closely in the vids towards the end I was still limping etc. You try running fast with 6 hamstring injuries and groin issues and your mech will suck. I do agree with the arm mech.
Ok - Disagree with you here.
1 - Learn what is causing your Hammie injuries - looking at the video’s, i’m leaning towards tight Hip flexors and Thighs - either or both of Lack of ROM and Knotts.
2 - Back mechanics - in certain frames when pausing, not only is your back rounded, your entire body position looks like your sitting in a chair… This is not a lack of strength, but tightness and not know how to Hold your Core Body Posture when under load.
3 - Hip Height - You have Zero. Your entire Torso holds still and the arms/legs are rotating around the Torso. Your power has to start from your Torso and radiate outwards - currently your power is all coming from your Limbs. Extra gym strength wont fix this with Barbells etc.
4 - Your arm mechanics - your elbows are pocking out to the side like chicken wings, ready to attack the guys ears in the lane beside you…
Before any extra Squatting strength, speed endurance or general fitness will help you, you need your mechanics fixed. I’m sure you’re aware the Forums make it nearly impossible unless your constantly video taping etc.
You either need to find a specialist coach, even for a week or two.
You have a full yr to get ready, forget about a triple periodization this yr, go for a Double.
Hope it helps
