Howevr, if you really get the elbows to the ceiling, the shrug is natural. I want to eliminate talkinhletes, he doesn t use any additional weight.  At first I just use the weight of the sled - I just want them to feel that something is there. He adds that during practice, he varies the weight according to how the athlete is performing that day.  This is where a coach has to watch, because you don t want to see a breakdown in technique-you don t want the athlete muscling down the track. <br><br>In addition to using the sled to improve acceleration, Greco uses it with extremely heavy weights to develop strength, as a supplement to regular weight training. However, technique is also important when using the sled for this purpose.  If you re walking with the sled, you want to make certain your walk is dynamic with a long, deep step - you want to work the muscles through a long range of motion. I weigh 180 pounds, and I ve gotten up to being able to use 200 pounds. Greco notes that the intensity involved in using the sled makes it easy to overtrain and he usually doesn t use heavy sled work for longer than three weeks straight. He adds,  Powerlifters can do more of the heavy sled work, because they don t run in addition to their regular training. <br>One alternative to the sprint sled is the BFS speed harness. Instead of a sled providing the resistance, a coach or training partner holds onto the end of a rope attached to the harness and provides manual resistance. <br><br><br>Sprint Chute Training Secrets<br><br>Although both Adams and Greco tend to use the sprint chute to improve maximum running velocity (or speed-endurance as some prefer to call it), there are many other benefits.<br><br>According to Greco, because the chute can move back and forth, it creates an unstable environment that can be used to improve joint stability.  I actually like it for team sports. Take the example of football running backs who are basically running and people are hitting them from the side. I think this instability helps significantly . . . and even with sprinters, because if you re coming off a curve and there s a gust of wind that throws you to the side, your body has to get used to that. <br><br>Another advantage of the sprint chute (and the smaller version BFS offers called the power chute) is that it can improve running technique. Greco sometimes uses a 100-meter, rhythmical type of run.  When you have some resistance you tend to focus on your technique a little more. What happens when your technique is not sound when you use a chute is that it feels as if you re working too hard. <br><br>How you take advantage of the many uses of BFS sprint sleds and sprint chutes depends upon the types of athletes you re working with, and of course, at what level. The bottom line is these can be valuable training devices for those who are serious about fulfilling their athletic potential. There s no argument about that!grade."<br>Coach McGee has done a superb jobwith that little school from Ash Fork, Arizona. As his athletes continue to push the limits, they will pionee a standard of excellence to be followed by all. Coach McGee says, "Several articles in previous BFS magazines served as motivators for my students. They anxiouly await the next subscription so they can compare themselves to the athletes in that magazine. Now that we are in yourfall edition I'm sure that other schools will use us as an impetus to join the growing ranks of weight lifters around the country." May we follow the example of these dedicated girls and beat the odds.</titleUS stil
