🔥How to Improve Speed

Apply more mass specific force into the ground

The ground is a force plate: the more you put in, the more you get back out. This is why getting stronger has such a profound effect on increasing speed. The key though is raising relative strength: you must become very pound for pound strong in order to sprint fast. Fat doesn’t fly, and neither does weak 

In the proper bio-mechanical positions

Speed is a skill; it can be trained. Learning the correct technique of speed: angles of acceleration, principles of max velocity, and front side mechanics, allows athletes to sprint at the speeds they’re capable of, and not “leak” speed due to improper technique 

In ever decreasing increments of time

 

Your strength potential is only as useful as your ability to manifest it in a short amount of TIME. This is why the dynamic method and plyometrics have such great carryover to improving speed
