We have a year-round training program that is targeted for them to peak in the middle of June, unless they have the opportunity to compete in the summer.<br>BFS: In the past many sprint coaches were reluctant to have their athletes lift weights for fear it would tighten them up or slow them down. When did that attitude change?<br>DS: That attitude started changing in the early 90s, at least with those coaches who were reading the research. <br><br>BFS: What physical qualities do you emphasize in the weight room?<br>DS: General strength progressing towards increases in absolute strength. It s closely related to acceleration and proper sprint mechanics.<br><br>BFS: What are the best lifts for sprinters?<br>DS: One of the most important lifts is the squat, and that includes deep squats, static squats, single leg squats, jump squats and variations in each exercise. I also like the power clean and the jerk, which work on the stabilization and the coordination of the muscles, and deadlifts. The glute-ham raise is a god exercise for sprinters, especially in injury rehabilitation. If you were to investigate the top football conditioning programs such as BFS, you would discover we do many of the lifts they implement, only we make the annual lifting plan in the weight room compatible with the training and competition plan.<br><br>BFS: A lot is said about training all the abdominal muscles, or to use the popular buzzword,  the core. Don t the major lifts you ve just mentioned also develop these muscles?<br>DS: You ve touched on exactly what we re doing with our athletes---they are working the core when performing those lifting exercises.<br>BFS: How do plyometrics figure into your program?<br>DS: I incorporate plyometrics in strength exercises, such as stepping off a box and doing a forward throw with a medicine ball or shot. Multi Jumps into sand and eventually over hurdles in the static and dynamic mode are a part of the annual plan. Once again, gradual progressions are implemented based on the athlete s overall strength.
