Sanya Richards Working Out

What a boring and uninspiring video…

What is the point in this video…? the trainning is crap, and she has nothing of any interest to say.

This Blog or whatever she is doing, has nothing on HSI.

Totally pointless trainning video, from a boring athlete.

Okay Pioneer… that was funny. I’m still laughing at that brilliant response.

Apparently, everone needs a personal trainer these days…

Powell doesn’t do many if any machines, that has been confirmed numerous times by numerous sources.

Besides that one article that I am not sure is actually real, I have never read or heard that Bolt does machines much. Do you have a link?

2 questions. why is she doin a hack squat with a medicine ball between her legs and why is she doing 1-legged cycles in the gym when she is about to run with clyde hart?

The ball keeps the knees from bowing inwards, typical personal trainer tool. What happen to teaching the athlete proper tech or maybe using another movement.

The guy she is currently with has a really, really big head! :stuck_out_tongue:

I know, it sucks to see such nonsense, but my take is that certain athleates are just gifted to where it does not matter what they do because they will always be good. Such is probably the case for Sayna.

I can bare witness to 9.9/20.5 athleates doing little, or hardly any gym work compared to CFTS/HSI. These athleates also ran impressve times under horrible handing of their coaches and respective staff.

But you think this is something… I once went to a training studio/“gym” in Los Angeles (around Santa Monica) where Allyson Felix trained in the off season around 2004 and the owner of the gym told me that he would have her use 5lbs weights for super high reps for 1-2 months for strict form then progress. I’m quite serious. The crazy thing is, this place did not seem to be going out of business anytime soon.

That is a great answer! My bad rb34 I was being sarcastic on my question. I think we all know its a waste of time and use of a med ball.:cool:

You mean she wasn’t doing the best weightlifting exercise for sprinters - the deadlift! What a shocker! (sarcasm intended)…

The runs she does from 3.40 in the video, are those what coach Hart refers to as “speedmakers” in his programs?

Allison Felix’ gym workout also posted this week:

Looks a bit better.

Speed makers are 40-60m sprints (usually done on grass) with a 40m-50m jog recovery zone. example:

0-----fast—40m—jog 40m recovery-----0-----fast-----40m

Usually done for 4reps for 3-4 sets with 7 mins rec between sets.

The lay out is in a square. Sides of the square are sprints and the top and bottom are jog recovery. Hope you catch my drift.

isn’t it a hack squat machine?

lol… I went there myself, they gave me a consultation and took all body fat measurements. I was turned off when the owner (I guess) described the weight training program that they applied to Mrs Felix that they were then going to use on me. I remember asking him 2-3 times if he was sure that he used 5lbs weights for high reps and he kept reassuring me that he was right and that it worked.

Here is the place.

I hate to talk $$$$, but what is this? They got cameras all in the girls face and whatnot. I think places like this use hi profile athletes to generate fresh new business; that’s it. It’s true, you want to go where all the best train, but some coaches are deceitful because they just acquire athletes that were conditioned by somebody else but take the credit.

I would really like to see a stadium view day to day training with her and bobby Kersee to get a real accurate view of how she trains.

Ugly ol’s tech, feet so wide apart.

Ross looked horrible today.

She looks heavier and not very fit. Her face is so much rounder I barely recognized her on tv.

Maybe it’s that time of the month.

She has looked like that all year I recall. Could be wedding stress, or her health condition with her skin???
