A whole thesis could be written on the benefits of hill sprints, feel free to research them on PubMed or corner a doctor at a cocktail party; for now, here is a cursory overview, not an exhaustive list, of the benefit of hill sprints. Safety: Because you are running up a hill, you never reach maximum limb speed. This serves as a built-in safety mechanism for your hamstrings! Remember, strength-to-bodyweight ratio is a key component in predicting sprint speed (many of you have a great one so be careful and use a hill).   Strength:Hill sprints, like weight training, make you stronger! Hill sprints bridge the gap between strength training and speed training; they are in the middle of the force-velocity continuum.  Body Angle:The angle of your body sprinting up a hill is very similar to the acceleration phase of sprinting, offering direct strength transference. Furthermore, hill sprints require your knees to pump high, increase your stride rate and teach aggressive shoulder action (essential for maximum acceleration).

Build Mental Toughness: All-out sprints repeatedly up a hill require testicular fortitude. You get in what you put in.  Half speed gets LESS than half results. Whether you’re chasing down a bully that stole your kid’s bike or just want to kick ass in the corporate picnic flag football game, you will be confident because you have sprinted hills.

Conditioning/Body Composition If you can sprint up hills, you will have no problem doing the same on flat ground.  Hill sprints greatly increase metabolic demand compared to traditional sprints; this greater requirement in output exponentially increases conditioning levels . Hill sprints have an amazing effect on body composition because they are essentially a hybrid between sprints and weightlifting.   Sprinters have some of the best physiques in the world.

Endorphin Rush/Psychological boost After performing hill sprints, I feel invincible and empowered. Functionality Pop those bosu balls!  At the end of the day, regardless of the bastardization of this term by pseudo-intellectual personal trainers, this simply means how well does a movement transfer to a desired activity.  Hill sprints transfer positively to almost any activity.

NEW PROGRAM OUT NOW!! PHYSICALLY FORTIFIED From Tom Haviland and myself. This is a focused strength phase built to harden the body and raise absolute force production. The objective is simple. Carry the strength of someone fifty pounds heavier while moving with the speed and explosiveness of someone fifty pounds lighter. The program runs on a 10-day training structure over roughly 12 calendar weeks. More recovery. Higher quality sessions. Greater long-term output. Foundational lifts are attacked hard Zercher Squat Farmers Walk Seal Row Overhead Press They are progressed aggressively and tested at the end. A new max is expected. Core lifts are performed with maximum intent.Odd lifts, heavy carries, tempo runs, grip work, and structural training build real-world strength that shows up under pressure. There is a one-a-day version and a two-a-day version depending on recovery capacity and experience.

@joshstrength Where is this video from?@grok

Most people choose comfort. You chose the hill!!

@Cernovich Preach!

American needs to deindustrialize, you'll need AI + people to do this. Bezos handling the messaging on this poorly. (Understatement.) This reads like AI will be used to eliminate factory jobs. reuters.com/business/retai…

The urge to gamble is hardwired into you. Most people waste it on casinos and lottery tickets. The smart ones bet on themselves. That’s the only game where the odds are in your favor.

@Wirth_Senpai I bet if your arms were that long you would do a lot more!

@joshstrength Damn how long are his arms the barbell barely moves up :D

Derek with 881 x 3 on the security cam footage which always hits different. No music no angles just iron getting handled. Hell of a set champ.

@LeadingReport this is cutting edge!

@CoachHamzaAZ @KurtMangum2 I think California is out of the picture if you factor per capita

#Arizona is a Top-5 Talent State in the country. California, Texas and Florida are the top tier. Georgia, Ohio/Michigan, and Arizona are next. If you’re a College coach and you’re not building an Arizona pipeline, you’re doing your program a great disservice. Pay attention!

@Bartek_Kamyk_ Show up jacked, strong, and capable the room stamps your credentials on sight. Results are the real diploma.😳😳😳

Level 3 certified personal trainer. 3 months of Starting Strength. Didn’t enjoy it. Dropped his coach. Now a hypertrophy expert.

@MonteSparkman @CoachNoon45 Keep changing lives brother!!

This is part of a message I got today from a former student / athlete. Always good to put things into perspective. We argue on this dumb app about how to train, but what we do is so much more. Funny how appropriate the timing is. It’s bigger than just weights and maxes.

Stop chasing happiness like a stray dog chasing pickup trucks. Serve someone. Help someone win. Build someone up. Funny thing…When you make another person’s world stronger, your own life starts feeling lighter. Purpose first. Happiness follows.

Regardless of what every swinging Richard wannabe coach at the gym thinks, Fred Hatfield hammered this home: Total volume alone does not determine the training response. How that volume is distributed matters just as much.

@AdamArchuleta 😳😳😳

A lot more people could play football at a higher level if that’s all it took to tackle good running backs! Good ol’ tackle 🍩 😔

James smoking 640 like a Texas brisket. Bonus bench tip: Crush the bar. Grip it like you’re trying to snap it in half. A hard squeeze lights up the nervous system and recruits more muscle. Loose hands lead to loose presses. Big weight rewards tightness. 💪

Your kids won’t remember the stuff you bought them. They remember the way you lived. Did you show up? 
Did you keep your word? 
Did you stand steady when things got hard? Legacy isn’t just money. It’s the example you leave behind.

@theo_jil congratulations brother

It took me 2 years to get 1,000 followers. Then 2 months to 2,000. Now I'm at 30,000. Trust the process.

@RonDeSantis this is all very profound
