The argument of stronger = faster, has been a contentious subject for many years.
Strength is good.
Strength supplements speed.
Strength gains can and will often improve speed.
Sprinters lift.
Sprinters typically have amazing-looking bodies.
But stronger isn’t always faster.
“The strongest are seldom the fastest. ~Boo Schexnayder
Power lifters and bodybuilders are seldom the fastest guys on the track team.
We learn by stories. ⤵️
When Covid shut everyone down, I had 8 fast sophomore track athletes who also played 🏈.
These 8 guys found a gym and lifted like madmen. They had nothing else to do. They got super strong and posted flex-pics often.
When things opened up a year later, one of the 8 was faster (slightly). 7 of 8 were slower by an average of one mph. They never got their speed back during their junior track season. None of the 7 ran track as seniors. They continued to play 🏈.
Lifting in the absence of sprinting, jumping, bouncing, and throwing will often make athletes slower.
Is that anti-strength? No.
But, stronger ≠ faster.
It’s more correct to say that athletes who get faster, get stronger. 🏋️♂️
Just because fast guys are strong doesn’t mean strong guys are fast.
Sprint, lift, jump, bounce, throw… but make speed the priority.
