| | | Heavy squats, deadlifts, good mornings, step-ups, and glute-ham raises...of course all variations are effective as well. |

| | | i second lei's recommendations. Get stronger and you will be able to go faster. Some people might tell you that heavy weight training will make you slow, well, thats not true. Maybe if you train nothing but heavy for sevral years. But im willing to bet everything i own that the guy squatting 200 is gonna be faster than the guy squatting 150 |

| | In addition to Lei's recommendations, I also recommend plyometrics, cleans, jerk/split presses, lunge variations and a quality sprint training program. Remember to train explosively, not slowly! There is some good info from the NSCA journal here: http://www.nsca-lift.org/Perform/Issues/0603.pdf | |
