[@BossFinale]

I just improved by.20 seconds. Thanks Chris.

[@JoshR324]

Great tips

[@martmuru]

Yeap! Those tips will help! Also remember to focus on going for power and distance, not speed and quickness!

great tip !!

[@capoeiristadd]

This is good... recoil on the back leg and toe drag on both (stab the ground through drive phase) I teach this to my track athletes.

[@e3bilz1]

Helped a lot thanks

[@2aresZ]

toe drag reminds me of asafa powell's block starts. nice tips

[@joeshowman2256]

Hey Chris! Any advice on implementing Vertimax in my weight room training? Thanks!

whats the name of the song in your outro?

[@klankatar]

we dont do the 40 yard dash in the uk,, our shortest is 100m sprint. My starts were always awful and id end up near the back lol luckily 100m is long enough that my top speed was usually enough to get me 2nd, these tips would have made a huge difference

My starts always sucked. Still ran a 4.4 in college but my starts sucked bad.

What shoes are those? They look good for running.

For proof of number 1 advice, checkout Ben Johnsons' sprint start, he jumped into his start of his 100 meters, a hard technique but efficient. And yes internet, I am aware he was on roids, doesn't devalue his great starts.

[@HardcoreLegend]

Demonstrate please

[@youngin9239]

This should be good for 100m ?

[@skaizu]

Actually I can jump further with one leg in a broad jump

[@emilyjui1]

Can't you drag the toes on front foot on first step

[@eddiedossou2727]

Not a good technique. He never shows you what he means in full motion.
