I used to do hill sprints but I have heard different idea about whether or not it actually helps you get faster - is it not to train speed so much as strength when you get them to do it Scrap?Quote:

To be honest i don't really feel like the lower back support I have really does much!
I was given the idea of pretending there was a pencil between my ass cheeks to straighten me up and I badly need to keeep straight:D
I thought it was to think there was somebody behind you about to shove a Red hot poker up your arse. ;D
Sharla its for condition, if you need speed use elastic with a partner.
I used rubber with a partner once and got no speed at all.Quote:

Sharla you need a partner for this 10ft of elastic loop in the middle and at both ends. Both get strong belts and tie or snap link the rubber to the belt behind you. Your partner gets hold of both loops and as you run they pull you back as they walk after 5 secs of resistance they let go and you sprint faster than you ever thought for 15 metres, repeat as many times as is reasonable.
It's just shiny little badge that let's you delete, sticky and move things. ;)Quote:

You already have real responsibility though, and you'll be reminded of it every time you hear Hitmandaddy. :cool:
Mmmmm just thinking over who I can pick on to try this with! I'll hunt someone down - maybe even my poor mum ;DQuote:

Congrats on being a mod Hitmandonny! :)
Careful when doing this. We used to do this all the time in the gym and a band snapped and just about broke a couple of my fingers. Within seconds my index finger was HUGE and full of blood. The force shot blood all the way in to the palm of my hand. Luckily, it didn't break anything and I didn't have a bout scheduled so I was able to heal but it sucked and could have been really bad.Quote:

Luckily My bro and his fiance are both engineers so I might have to go and pester them ;D
