only spoke to tyler the strength and conditioning coach for track but you best believe i will be making contact with the sprint staff.
It’s possible that Dix is not increasing his strength levels but is doing some maintenance work to keep what he has. The sprint coach may have made the decision that greater strength is not needed at this point, leading to some ambiguity.
I thought you could only stay in maintenance for so long before performance decrease.
Maintenance as in a program designed to keep levels where they are- it would need to change through the year like any other program but the goal is achieving the prev year’s levels rather than raising them to a new number.
got it make sense.
To “Slowspeed” and everyone else. In time this thread will be Lost because it started as a News or Race Report item but was posted under Advanced Sprint Training.
When you have straight-up News or an obvious Race Report (Result in this case), please try to post it in the designated section - if only because it will be easier to find someday down the track 
kk
are these vids at the same slow mo speed?
I thought dix has the faster/higher frequency whereas in these shots gat has the faster/higher frequency.
The video speed reduction ratio is different for each one due to the original sampling rates of each clip. We were trying to come close on touchdown to possibly show similarities and/or differences in limb motions or other things.
I do believe mortac8 and others were more curious about differences in movements during journeys at top speed!
I think no weights can weel describe a really simple approach like the on mentioned, or not heavy relying on weights for development…like teh “carl lewis” did not lift., just not emphasizing on this moment…
If the strength coach sais “so and so lifts”, that is no garuntee that they do. The strength coach would want himself to look good and wouldn’t DARE let anyone comprehend that the collages best athlete might not even lift weights.
If the sprinters PERSONAL track coach sais the sprinter does not lift then that is your most reliable source and so far all we have is that versus what the collage strength coach sais.
PS: CAN SOME ONE SHOW ME THIS “ASAFA POWELL” DOING STEP UPS YOUTUBE VID?
Am I the only one who hasn’t seen it?
Goose…hope you’re cool…here’s that vid you wanna see:

Not sure whats happened to the sound element…wasn’t working when I just watched it again…
this one has sound:
The funny thing is- sometimes there is a breakdown in communications between two different coaches on the same person- that’s why I wanted to control ALL aspects of training AND to administer or at least be present for all therapy related to my athletes.
Interesting. Got a little help with the bench! Didn’t see what he had on the step ups but alls seems relatively light. BTW, I like the grass track! Looks very thick and lush for tempo. Note the pace of the tempo runs.
i could be wrong but the weight for the stepups was around 225 and it looked pretty easy. cf you may have answered this before but is there much benefit with during such slow tempo runs? some runners on the forum feels like theres not much benefit plodding along in sneakers when during tempo.
what pace were those “grass runs” being run at?
I’m far from CF but as an athlete I find slow paced tempo runs (19 sec 100’s) to be great for freshness for the following days sprint session while still maintaining fitness. Throw in some abs and some press ups and you’re good to go. If the grass is good (not a public area) I’ll do tempo in bare feet or socks.
Looked pretty darn easy!
Charlie:
Have you coached LeBlanc? What can you tell us about him?
LeBlanc said that his Canadian coach is a guy named Peter Stuart and that’s his only other coach than the one(s) at Syracuse.
