He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds and the 100-meter in 10.61 seconds. Sheppard s secret is simple: he has trained harder than ever in his routine of jumping boxes and training on the running ladder. <br>Joseph Huewitt, a sophomore who has known only the Bigger Faster Stronger program, has made huge improvements in all weightlifting categories, including an unbelievable 205-pound increase in his parallel squat, from 135 pounds to 405 pounds. <br> Only the strong surv, while the completely extended back leg is the same as in our power clean technique. <br> Women athletes gain the same benefit and can also get really fast with the BFS program. Angela Williams, Figure #4, is considered to have the fastest start in the world. Look at the lead leg. What angle is the upper leg in as compared to the lower leg? Parallel squat. The back leg is exploding to a completely extended position that looks exactly like our BFS power clean position when completely extended.<br> You can work with a 5.9 forty athlete all day, every day, on technique, drills and stride length fundamentals and not make much improvement. Weakness is the fundamental issue. Parallel squats provide the basis for speed improvement. I can take any athlete and make him/her significantly faster by doing perfect parallel squats. The athlete may still have lousy form but will run significantly fastr with a big improvement in parallel squat strength. 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 trainin 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 willsee 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 with the chest sread. 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
