Thread: increase speed

if u know what killers are do them if u dont then ill explain,k u start on base line run to free throw line back to base line to half court line back to base then run from base line to far base line and back try sprinting all the way through the work these helped me alot whille trianing for football

yeah i used to play basketball, i know what your talking about. ill give them a try, if i can get there while the gym floor is empty.

Well start with a good stretch, long and powerful strides will increase your speed. But I’m sure you know that.

In the summer training what we usually do in football is a routine that looks like this 2 days a week

Starting at a 3 point stance

50 yards x 2
40 yards x 4
30 yards x 6
20 yards x 8
10 yards x 10

And your done. It really worked for me last year my time on the 40 was 4.9 my new time this year is 4.7. Remember work on those long powerful stride, short little steps are going to get you no were.

so that would be like you run a 50 yard sprint, stop for a second, reform your stance, and then run another? and then so on? how long did it take you to drop that much time off your 40? my hamstrings are to tight naturally, my dad gets back problems from the same thing, so ill have to work on it.

About 4-5 months ago my 40 was a 4.9, and about a month ago was when I got my new 40 speed. But that routine when only followed for the 2 months of summer vacation. Yeah sprint all the way thru, and we take a 30 sec brake between them.

I used to do alot of uphill sprints and also steep downhill sprints. the steep downhill sprints forced your legs to move faster and easier. your body retains that muscle memory movement as quickly as a week. You will notice a time change in a week or less guarenteed.
