This is the part that I think needs repeating, which certain people here don’t want to deal with:
“Even today, I’m not a real heavy lifter; I just go heavy enough to develop the muscles I don’t go after it like some other guys, mostly the shorter runners [laughs]. I’m not really that kind of sprinter.”
Although Usain keeps things lighter than most, his lifting has noticeably carried over onto the rubber. “It really has helped me with strength endurance,” he says. “And it’s good to have that strength, because you can run fast for longer periods.”
The program listed fits perfectly with Usain’s objectives.
