Weights following speed work

@hemann

but how strong is jon baldwin? how strong was ben johnson? Sure no athlete who is naturally freakishly strong should focus on strength. But what about the athletes who are weak? I think you’re leaving those athletes out of the equation! I’d bet anything that jon baldwin can squat 2x his bodyweight-- even without squatting.

But i do like- whoever said- that strength and speed need to be developed at the same time. As in: strength won’t translate??

Most coaches say strength and speed need to be developed at the same time for most people.

BJ is an anomaly. Most sprinters are pretty strong but not anything like BJ.
