Parallel squats are the single most important thing you can do to improve speed.<br> Early in my career, I was in the Los Angeles area training with track athletes (throwers) during the summers. I was amazed at their size and speed. There were about 30 throwers who weighed an average of 270 pounds running between 4.6 and 4.8. Pro football players were not even close to that. I wanted my high school football players back at Sehome High School in the state of Washington to be like those throwers. So when I returned, we parallel squatted like those throwers and practiced sprinting. We timed our players twice per month. We did not do a very good job with power cleans but we were superior at the parallel squat. See Figure #5 and you will see what I mean. Little Greg Frere at a bodyweight of 155 parallel squatted 355 pounds and ran a 4.6 forty. Look at his depth and form: eyes on target and being tall ith the chest spread. This photo was part of a story that featured my program at Sehome in the old Strength & Health magazine. We did a good job at only two of the ten components we have today, but we did those very well. It took only a year to get phenomenal results. I had 50 players run between 4.5 and 5.0 in the forty. That was 1970. Can anyone match that today? Sehome had an enrollment of 1,400 in grades 9-12. We played mostly larger schools and ended up playing Snohomish High School in a mythical state championship. They had minus 77 yards. <br> My next move took me to Brigham Young University, where I worked with football players and the power lifting team. Paul Howard, a lneman, gained 45 pounds in one year, reaching 275, and improved hi forty from 5.2 to 4.8. He played ten years for the Denver Broncos. Paul Devine was a running back who was also on my power lifting team (see Figure #6). He helped us win the1973 national collegiate power lifting championship. Paul graduated and raised his family in southern California. His son Kevin was taught how to parallel squat and train (see Figure #7 and #8). Kevin ran a 4.2 forty at the combine and played in the NFL for several years. I was so impressed with Kevin that we did a football speed video featuring Kevin s ideas on sped improvement.<br> I on, then made his mark in an exhibition game against Carolina when he caught the Panthers Tyrone Poole on the 4-yard line after a long punt return. When the dust had settled, he had beaten out four veteran defensive backs for a roster spot including one starter.  A ton of bricks fell off my back, Kevin had sighed.  I could finally breathe again. <br><br>Kevin was standout special teams player last season as a rookie. He also saw time as a reserve defensive back gaining more and more valuable experience as the season progressed. We feel Kevin Devine will only continue to getFWwe{i^sMzE5!UYe] OR/z6Yx\{M4_i`:ԃluI6gib;"`.m֑^IP:Mn}JcSw?AHSʞeUo8PxfPٸqLoKx1 G- G}i^r^ڟ.vlpg/oЪ/fO8G0TZ~C]@yk|f+/u\/)'jTR k1}fyHY'SLAikVW aVs} 5ZʼnU2bVbQztSLK#EP̩rN Qk.5_J3"`LMÈVC1kSMw E&KSz\9lrb:+(Cƌ;  zG3vZȟ(#nƈ^,&q>^fQ91UŸ.n/cLѾ[]vNM m%xkY-+(`5?Vg1]_^P#( b~LMC#2 2D$Ӣ/˵E]v/ua{ 7*0"8Z9EHnA*|OR'>4@XTuKW嶝;`}!byk%xO-XN֔_oQB:$h?7 xIG]~ZĚSqEm=.05U1KiVQCV`XM%N8T]_._^񢪥nu44o@[)`4ۅ?36˶\xQuy 52UV(u_MB2ٴ̭-}r梣*GΘ*7[}(1Y/s֫7evjTp oHG')!LU~k7k|LieDdnڪʿr~<=Bs!em5sǞhC?)RCJz+"Vi^@Gc_7+ YٮOKn_z۠* w]8ši]y\j\x;*i BvV{Fhkp7BCeȀf#BܒTiH仓vٷF4b= 2e{h"y tަرf@Gtgf-4ME"2^س רzߨ|yR&b'mc{bO ˱ft /h[_,H|o(B\Кl.O*qʴ܏ܤw^ M iEق31ӴbX&Lȷ`/pc k@dCr} ʼn.m_&SePyKP^ljZn=VPXRgYA9$'nUnaǑI7yuv;&T &.n R^k[,*x7-g9K_t;Q`QR6C\n{\]}1k+ Z)$$5 v%v"{dcnt?3vfG)"[hr1Ds$;)rH Xp?h3+=OJ)QۑP 7?9$ԛPPkEFuY ⣎o-ho[k˘F*+ %"6y'tg>;s=e0e|#QKuJb; s|ҫ+6~eC}Xˡ\D]9Ev07OY ΡH**F܃{5o]]nmu4:/delOgF"]#q㚝f=8šJFce4m/yl>*O\BP"#Ile#{&Vc:zV# eeE y0G[j 2աHѨUr,ܘRŞRisׅYP@"W[BHbxWʟ>_&RO2mrF\t [{Z@5 x_SGQbNJjI.NB)!ɍȓ9,QW_} )6ԛfpc5p6E{(M/^TD܀(V(iuƥ9vW>e'ܷ!2ϛ$chk2\,Y1J!E! `KxKV"wHB%Go.'`| v'Uz7S(ƈb֜҉6ZfRZiNčO ~Z~E@g:xUnMj,yQKMGmzf\Dxj.7|2f(3dždVRykoefP@]8wAllV֋,B^H e 7Pʅw É bNJ bHm'ܿ?|?fWcdRN}h4@*7;GJ FT(c7F 7.$
