I @ @ M B N E A S C T T O T S A G R A M M E _ E L H E L D O I T N E 2 3 M Y S T O R Y The Myth About Speed We are constantly led to believe that speed is something only attainable for a lucky few; only available to those born with the rare “speed” gene. We are told that some people are just fast while others are just slow. There’s no rhyme or reason to it and everyone usually just leaves it at that. That is wrong. Anybody can become faster, anybody can increase their acceleration, and anybody can become more explosive. Athleticism is something that is crafted through years and years of intense training, weightlifting, and plyometrics. If you are willing to take the leap and go through hell, because you want to become faster... Then this guide will teach you how to do it. Don’t Believe Me? Read My Story... I was always a very active kid. I had great endurance and had some decent skills on the field, but I was weak, slow, and not very athletic. I would constantly get beaten to the ball, pushed around, and just ran by. I decided to do some research to find how I could get faster. Through trial and error over the course of 3 years, I became the fastest kid on my high school and club soccer teams. My senior year of high school, I was begged to run track by the high school track coach, I obliged, and then went on to win countless meets in the 200m and 400m dash. I then qualified to go to the State meet and ended up placing 3rd overall in the state of Oregon for the 4x400m dash and 7th overall in the 400m race in my very first year. I then was recruited by several universities to run track and play soccer, but I decided to just play soccer. In my college, semi-professional, and professional teams, I continued to learn from track coaches, trainers, and strength coaches to gather even more information on how to become even faster. This program is the culmination of years and years of research. I’ve learned how to get faster and now I want to share everything I’ve learned over the years. S P E E D How to Increase Speed Increasing speed can basically be broken down into three aspects... Increasing strength, improving form, and developing fast-twitch muscle fibers. Form is hard to work on without being there in person with you, so in this program we will focus on the other two aspects. Strength I will break down how important overall strength is when it comes to speed by giving you a simple example. Imagine we have two versions of yourself. They are exactly identical in every way except for one aspect: their strength. Person A weighs 150 lbs and has a 1-rep max squat of 200 lbs. Person B weighs 150 lbs as well, but has a 1-rep max squat of 300 lbs. Now imagine both people at the starting line of a 100 meter dash. As the gun goes off, both people explode out of the starting blocks. Person A can propel their body forward off the ground with 350 lbs (Bodyweight + Squat Max) of explosive force, while person B can explode forward with 450 lbs (Bodyweight + Squat Max) of explosive force. They both weigh the same amount and are identical in every other way, so Person B can explode out of the starting blocks faster, with more force, and easily wins the race. The stronger you become while maintaining a lean and athletic build, the more force you can exert propelling your body forward and the faster you will be. Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers Now, strength is great, but it doesn’t matter how strong you are if you have poorly developed fast-twitch muscle fibers in comparison to your slow-twitch muscle fibers. Fasttwitch muscle fibers are activated when you want to sprint, jump, or rapidly change pace. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are what are activated when you perform a given task for a long period of time like running at a constant speed for 20 minutes. To become faster, we need to train our fast-twitch muscle fibers to respond better when activated. The best way to do this is through plyometrics and sprint work. These exercises engage the fast-twitch muscle fibers and force them to develop. By combining an increase of strength and the development of fast-twitch muscle fibers we increase our speed. This program lays the foundation of how to do so. O V E R V I E W How This Program Works This program has three workouts every single week. I have not put exact dates on the program as everyone’s schedule is vastly different. I cannot expect everyone to have the same schedule. However, I would suggest doing this program as follows: Day 1: Monday Day 2: Wednesday Day 3: Friday However, the order doesn’t even matter that much. What matters is you staying dedicated to the program and performing every workout with intensity, focus, and determination to improve. If you do that, you will become faster. This program should also act as a supplement to all your other training and workouts. I suggest weightlifting more than once a week and adding this program in as an extra. Adapting for Bodyweight Exercises Day 2 of each week in the program is a general strength training regimen. The exercises will most likely require you to have a gym membership. However, if you do not have a gym membership then you can still do modified exercises to increase your strength. If you are serious about becoming more athletic and explosive, I highly suggest you start weight training regardless of your age/situation. Before you even send me an email, I want to clear this up now... WEIGHTLIFTING WILL NOT STUNT YOUR GROWTH. Do some research. However, all weight lifting exercises can be modified for people who really can’t go to a gym. Simply type in the name of the exercise into google with the words “bodyweight modification.” You will find plenty of exercises to substitute in its place. Again, you will not see the same results with bodyweight training as you will with weight training! Bodyweight training just cannot build explosive strength the same way as weight lifting can as the best way to do so is through lower reps and higher resistance. Bodyweight training is high reps, low resistance and more for endurance work. We are after explosive strength! O V E R V I E W Progression The main component of this program is progression! By this, I mean that every single week you should be improving your times, increasing your weights, or performing more sets/reps of the exercises. If you skim through the package, you’ll see it is broken up into two 4-week programs. Each week the sets/reps will increase while rest decreases. Then once you get comfortable with the program after 4 weeks, it completely changes. Confusing the body, shocking the system, and forcing your muscles to adapt. The basic idea is to progress with a regimen until you start to feel comfortable and then switch and progress once more with the different program. Also, you’ll notice that in a select few exercises (mainly the large compound lifts like bench press, squats, shoulder press, etc.) The sets are increasing while the reps are decreasing as we progress through the weeks. This is because you should be increasing weight each week, hopefully by at least by 5-10 pounds in each exercise. The progression to heavier weight is what builds that explosive strength. Supersets For those of who do not know what a superset is, it basically is switching off between two exercises. For example, if in the program you must superset 3 sets of Bench Press wth 3 sets of Box Jumps, then you perform a single set of bench press and as soon as you finish you rest for the first rest time. This is probably a short period around 0-20 seconds. Once that is done, you perform a set of Box Jumps for the required reps and then rest for the second rest time. This is usually longer and can be between 30-120 seconds. Then after that rest period, you go back to bench press and repeat. You repeat this process until you have completed the total number of sets for both exercises. The idea of the superset is to accomplish more work in less amount of time. Most of the supersets will work different muscle groups so that your legs might be resting while you are working chest. Then when you switch to chest, your legs are resting now. O V E R V I E W One Final Word This program works. It has the science to support this style of training, it has helped me gain a tremendous amount of speed, it has helped my teammates/friends/family also become faster, and it has helped many of the players who I train individually become faster. I have given you my 100% effort in creating this program, now you must give me yours. This program will do nothing for you if you keep it on your computer and never try any of the workouts. The results you achieve from this program will be directly related to the amount of work you put in. Are you skipping workouts? Are you taking too many days off? Are you using the heaviest weights that you can safely manage? Are you pushing yourself further each day? Are you really running as fast as you can or are you going 95%? These are questions you must ask yourself and are questions only you can truthfully answer. If you put in 95% effort, you’ll only get 95% of the success. If your goal is to become as fast as possible, then you must push yourself further than you ever have before.
