WHAT TO DO IF YOU MISS STRENGTH TRAINING DAYS

If you are training, not just working out at the gym, but doing a program that requires that you do certain things at certain times throughout the week with specified amounts of weight, you are approaching strength training in a way that most people do not because most people do not have the wherewithal to put together six months of actual dedicated training, even really much less, six weeks. If you’re actually training with weights, you’re on a schedule and you don’t miss workouts, then you are doing something that very few people do. Very few people approach their training in this way. But if you approach it this way, you get results: you get stronger and you get bigger. In fact, if you want to get bigger and stronger, there’s no other way you can approach it. You have to put the some thought into the workouts that you’re going to do: when you’re going to do them, how you’re going to do them, what you’re going to do them with, your equipment… Primarily the schedule.

If you want to develop and improve your top speed other techniques must be utilized. I´m going to share with you one of the best ways, which is supported by Olympic coach Karim Abdel Wahab, to increase sprinting speed and maximize top speed development.
