40 Yard Dash: Sprint Like a Pro | NFL Combine Trainer

[@wheytoostrong]

The science and man hours that these guys spend on analyzing such a simple task as running is amazing.

ill tell you guys when i was younger i dropped to a 4.39-4.43 one think that helped a lot was getting a smooth running form.... Also to practice running short yards as fast as possible.... i was able to get a 20 yard dash down to 2.9-3.3 secs i worked on 20 yard dash and 30 yard dash more than 40s.....

[@trainharderthanthegamellcz181]

yup yep, that way you were reaching max velocity at 40, 50m. great advice, I worked the he'll at 15 an 30yrds not 40 or 60. just gotta stay in control for 60, can't break apart after 40. but Cheers to the 10 20 30 work!

[@Triekki]

Totally agree. Most people think of but kick wrong as well. It's a forward motion (ie with hip flexion) not a curl with hip extension. I agree with the pushing under COM as well. I've really enjoyed this video series and he has great explanations but a few of these drills practice pushing behind one's COM. Watch all top sprinters start and in their drive phase they are pushing under COM not way behind them.

[@BigJhits]

You know it! We started off season conditioning the other day, college football baby! Put in work, 40yd dash is a must

[@jonesgreg305]

Great vid 👌 specially the "moving claw series" segment and explaining how your leg can actually move close to "absolute speed" aka maximal speed aka maintanence phase mechanics. Concepts in this vid regarding the cycling motion is very similar to that of track sprinting coaching vids ive seen.

[@Ohhfelix38]

My friend adrian hendrick ran a 4.23 and that was just our sophomore year in highschool and we going to junior year. Just thought I should say that it was so crazy

[@smiley00341]

amazing training these guys are top notch at their teaching!!!

[@muppetowner]

these guys are very knowledgeable, learned a lot

[@geoffreyfaltot1006]

Amazing something as natural as running there is a proper way to do it and get faster. Great techniques and insider.

[@GodSpeed1105]

Best description ever. Best expect coach it ever seen, great job :-)

[@futurehalloffamer]

THANK U, MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE THAT YOUR START MATTERS WAY MORE IN A 40 YARD DASH, THEN IN THE 100M

[@adolfozzzie]

Great production values! Congrats. Also very interesting.

[@brandonlew1s]

I'm having a hard time understanding the concepts of "ankling" and "completing the cycle". Please elaborate. Bodybuilding.com

[@luisbauer78]

your leg moves in a cycle like when you are sprinting at top speed ankling is basically high knees

[@keenanmichael6614]

Don't get strength and mass confused. A long lean muscle is faster than a dense thick muscle.

[@adamwittman]

False. Its whichever muscle creates the most force.

[@Bane1Mirin]

Sprinters have dense muscle that's why they lift heavier weights to stimulate fast twitch fibers

[@lowesmith935]

@@Bane1Mirin not true sprinter are lean football players have dense muscles you must be confused

[@dhuss14]

@@lowesmith935 it's not to so with the sport it's to do with slow or fast twitch muscle, fast twitch is more dense and powerful, explosive, there4 sprinters and f players both have these muscle types

[@Phuckyoshitkid]

This start helped me thank you!

[@cac90277]

Are there drills/stretchs that helps close the angle of the shin to the top of the foot. Basically working on a deep flex of the ankle. Thanks!

[@noahodell5817]

I would like to see it in regular speed please gosh!!!

OLB 5.3 down to 4.4 much thanks and appreciation for this.

[@cmunupe]

What's your age, and what exactly did you do? Asking for my son who's being recruited for OLB, and everyone wants to see him get faster. He's a rising junior, 6'1, 190. 4.7

What do you mean by his toe is to the top of his shoe? 7:55

[@swagg3rstud]

Manti Te'o is watching this video, next year hes gonna be prepared

[@colossalko]

Fuck this. A-skip, B-skip, Buttkick, High knees, Bicycle. The 5 golden exercises. My school had 14 4x100m state titles in 20 years and this is all we did aside from weight training, working on starts, and arms. If you want to get faster instantly just pick your knees up making sure hip to knee is 20-30 degrees from being parallel to the ground.

[@SheaDay30]

During the one knee drill, there was too much arm "snapping" going on. This will only increase the torque on the arm and require more force to pull the arm through effecting the time. Arm should be at 90 degrees during forward arm swing and only extend about an extra 20 degrees during the back swing.

[@Triekki]

An article I can remember that gives evidence for the use of assisted and resisted sled pull type training improving different aspects of sprinting (ie acceleration vs full speed) was called "The affect of assisted and resisted sprint training on acceleration and velocity in division 1A female soccer athletes." In their article they cite others with similar work as well. If you can't find it online PM me your email address.

Jerry Rice ran a 4.71. That's right Jerry Rice was as fast as Tim Tebow. Who is the greatest receiver of all time again?

[@eToroBoT]

Price? Location? Requirements?

[@adamwittman]

Studies have shown that teaching athletes running form for the 40 provides miniscule results in timed speed. Under .01 of a difference. However, by teaching athletes bodies to create more force they were able to provide huge results. Ie by getting them to deadlift maximal weights per pound of body weight. Mike Evans ran a 4.7 before working on force and not form and manziel was like 4.7 as well. Look at what they ran at tge combine after training the shiyt out of deadlifts.

[@mustang8206]

Studies have show weight training provides good short term improvement but form training provides better in the long term

[@ffryan]

I'd disagree completely on this point. I watched my own times drastically improve in a few sessions just because of improved technique. Joe Defranco has made a point of repeatedly saying that all he did was correct the technique of Miles Austin to see a dramatic change. Obviously he continued to work with him and Austin got even better. Athletes developing force is obviously key to developing power but technique is second to none with the 40. I'd be curious to read these studies.

[@sunminkim299]

Hey guys, there can't be a single form of solution for everyone. Some people may improve from this and others may improve from that. So giving athletes what "they" need is the key.

[@bluphii]

I think this can help I you have perfect running technique but many runners don't do not when they understand the concept of running i think it would be very beneficial to incorporate the weights and 4.7 isnt st anymore.. and guys like jon ross chriss johnson and deion sanders that have had max explosion aren't big wieght room guys but technique wise they are spot on.

[@crankit102]

I am 15, a Wide Reciever, and i run a 4.4 - 4.5 40 yard dash. me and my trainer or working on getting my 40 to a 4.1 or a 3.9. My overall goal is 4.0 by the time im a senior in highschool.

[@empireopsrecon6676]

and bo jackson was rumored to have run 4.1 even sub 4 but its not known if thats true at all

[@chrislima5760]

Is that miami maccabi? At north miami close to ventura mall?

[@neozeonsolid]

yeah yeah for sure

[@cbcw24]

I like these drills... love the explanations but hate his arm form...he flicks or releases the elbow bend which makes the arm lever longer thus slowing down his turn over speed & the rate at which the arms swing or drive. A short lever is a fast lever; If he could maintain that 90 degree hinge at the elbow during his posterior arm swing, he would be more efficient in his movements. Very informative video & thorough scientific explanation.

[@wheytoostrong]

@Dune571 Hahaha Yeah I'm not exactly the track type, but I have a friend that runs track in college and they're obsessed.

[@Cupnoodles54]

4.12 was hand time chris Johnson 4.24 in 08 was the fastest electric time electric time started in 2001

[@willycrox]

he didn't say his height and weight. track runners run close to 4 flat all the time, it is just rare in football bc of the extra mass football players carry around

[@MCCICLOPE]

Thanks.

[@nottimothylim]

Bo Jackson has the best verifiable time at a Combine with his 4.12 clocking at the New Orleans Superdome in 1986.

[@cdjock42]

he is the fastest man on earth yes, the 40 yard dash is more of an acceleration drill than speed, and usain has okay acceleration, just crazy speed

[@OLCtv]

pump them arms from hip to chin baby lift den knees power off every step go go go

[@Dune571]

@iiamiNsAnE lol if you think they go into heavy mechanics here you should run some track.

[@ffryan]

You don't happen to remember who did the article/study do you? Something that I can search for.

[@Disjawn]

Chris Johnson ran the Fastest OFFICIAL 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders 40 times are unofficial.

One study can't prove or disprove anything really. Takes a culmination of work. Especially in exercise science. Depends what kind of stats they use and how strong the results are as well.

[@nomanzafar2851]

My coworkers laughed when I told them I was going to get ripped with "Smashing Ripped X", but then I showed them the results. Do a search on Google for Smashing Ripped X to see their reaction. (You should see their shock!)

[@moniruddin9887]

Hi, have you heard of "MuscLeader" (search on Google)? On their website you can watch a useful free video showing how to start building noteworthy muscle easily whilst dropping excess fat as well. Devan and plenty other guys enjoyed great success applying this technique. Perhaps it will help you out also...

[@kiddovozoxo5497]

lmfao YOU GUYS CANT SAY 4:40 to 4:48 didnt have that RHYTHM TO THE MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING!!!

[@mustang8206]

I'm in track I can see that some of these guys have bad running form. Of course in a game it's harder to keep your form when 11 guys are trying to rip your head off

[@brocholdway3658]

Quit arguing between Chris and Bo Chris ran 4.24 on the official electronically clocked combined fastest ever and Bo ran the fastest unofficial non electronically 40 with a 4.12 but that's not completely accurate becasue it was clocked by a person so they could have been a little slow or a little fast with the starting and stopping time

[@nkosiford]

Broc Holdway you should watch the "laser time" at the NFL combine the two guy sitting in chairs at the front of the 40 and the end of the 40 start and stop the time so it's really no different than hand time

[@vinnymar]

I just finished reading Michael Boyle's book on functional training. He claims that there is no scientific evidence to prove that the sled/prowler leads to faster sprinting times. Can anyone point me to a study that verifies or disproves this claim?
