This is a Bigger Faster Stronger Core Lift exercise. For back safety, lightly bounce the weight off the floor when doing reps. Keep the repetitions to five or less. <br><br>Hamstring Safety<br><br>Image 7 - A. The Hamstring Stretch: The BFS One-On-The-Bench exercise is the best Hamstring stretch. This can be done on a bench, couch or with a team in the bleachers. Be tall with the stretch leg in front. The leg should be straight with the knee locked. The foot should be perfectly straight with the toes brought back not forward. Try to lock-in the lower back and look straight ahead. Now, pull your entire body forward. Do not try to put your chin on your knee. Do this hard with intensity for a total of thirty seconds with each leg. An absolute must everyday. This also improves Speed and Jumping Power! <br><br>Image 8 - B. The Straight Leg Dead Lift: Do Straight Leg Dead Lifts with very light weight with the dual purpose of stretching and strengthening the Hamstrings and the Glutes at the same time. High school to pro athletes should use between 65-95 pounds and then progress slowly to 135 pounds. The maximum for advanced lifters is 40% of their Parallel Squat max. Do this exercise in a very slow and controlled manner with the chin up and knees locked. Do two to three sets of 10 repetitions two to three times per week. The Straight Leg Dead Lift should be a high priority Auxiliary exercise. It will also help you run faster and jump higher.<br><br><br>1. Head  head should be upright.<br>2. Eyes- - eyes should be fixed looking straight ahead.<br>3. Back  back should be upright and slightly arched.<br>4. Shoulders  shoulders should rotate vigorously with elbows fixed in a 90-degree angle.<br>5. Wrist  wrist should simulate a whip action as the shoulder rotates back.<br>Lower<br>6. Legs  initial leg action is to lift forward then up. The lower leg should hang before planting.<br>7. Feet - feet should make the initial plant directly under the hips and not out in front of the body.<br>8. Knees  on the follow-through or end of the leg drive, the knee should fully extend.<br>Remember practice this sprint system, concentrate on one area of the body for each sprint (upper, torso, or lower). On the last sprint of each set combine the eight points to achieve a full speed sprint. Time and record the last sprint of each set in your logbook. Try to break the record each week. Practice this system tow to three times a week when the body is FRESH.<br>Following these guidelines and principles EVERY athlete can improve speed dramatically!<br>of power from your feet, and if your ankles are hurting you're going to suffer. I do all kinds of ankle strengthening, such as picking up sand and running on the toes to strengthen the arches, surgical tubing exercises, and rocker boards--I work on my ankles a lot."<br>For younger jumpers, Amy believes in the importance of being exposed to a variety of sports. "You learn a lot through other sports and through competition. It's just like your academic studies--you need to become a student of your sport and learn all there is about it. The high jump takes a lot of technique, but you can't stop there. You need to learn the mechanics, the physics and the psychology of the jump to really succeed."<br>Amy has given quite a bit ofthought to the psychology of sports and believes there are some truths behind the stereotypes about track and field athletes. She says that sprinters are confident, bordering on cocky; throwers are the jokers and are laid-b
