5 Mistakes Making You Slower | And How to Fix Them ft. Olympic Sprinter Simon Hansen

[@jjhbball]

Matt, you are my favorite fitness expert on YT right now. You explain with greater clarity and brevity than most, and I appreciate the bits goofy humor. A few general questions/video ideas: 1) Could you make a video on training with respect to age? How does someone in their mid-30's or mid-40's adjust their training, especially with respect to more explosive movements. 2) You have a vertical jump program. Assuming it isn't a beginner program, what are the "pre-requisites" for that program you recommend? More generally, what is a baseline or foundational fitness level that someone should check off before they start more specific or advanced programs? Feel free to change the question as you see fit. 3) Can you get by on just unilateral movements like RFESS? Or are bilateral movements like a squat a must when programming? Especially if you don't have a barbell or gym membership and just have dumbbells at home. Thanks for your great work. Keep it up.

Thanks! Let me address your questions: 1) Could you make a video on training with respect to age? How does someone in their mid-30's or mid-40's adjust their training, especially with respect to more explosive movements. Good idea. Older athletes typically need to be a bit more mindful of gradual progression especially when it comes to plyometrics. I'll add it to my video ideas. 2) You have a vertical jump program. Assuming it isn't a beginner program, what are the "pre-requisites" for that program you recommend? More generally, what is a baseline or foundational fitness level that someone should check off before they start more specific or advanced programs? Feel free to change the question as you see fit. Yes it's a program for intermediate to advanced. The program starts with ~50 jumps per session. That's actually low enough that a young athlete can start it without having done plyometric training recently but it would be better if someone starts the program with at least some background of plyometric training. You don't need to have a certain level of strength to start plyometrics, however having strength training experience does help you respond better to plyometrics and increase your vertical jump more. 3) Can you get by on just unilateral movements like RFESS? Or are bilateral movements like a squat a must when programming? Especially if you don't have a barbell or gym membership and just have dumbbells at home. You can, but you'll probably get better results incorporating some bilateral movements as well.

Can you do a video on strength and conditioning workouts with only a weighted vest?

A question: for a 200m sprinter, do aerobic power workouts (tempos at 75%) affect the efficiency of other energy system, such as the anaerobic lactacid one ?
