Hill Sprints - What Why and How

[@AnonW]

"The only one hill sprints benefits is you" thats deep bro.

[@ala7515]

I have been doing hill Sprints for past 6 months (once or twice a week). I started observing improvements in stamina & breathing, body posture, and overall muscle development! Thanks to this video!

[@robstark3464]

Started running hills to prepare for the physical agility test for a police department . Fist time running the mile and a half was 15 min 26 sec... after a month a hill sprints I cut it down to 11 min flat

[@patrickstock8568]

That's a pretty good improvement

[@robstark3464]

Joseph R well for the academy you do once you graduate it’s kinda on you to stay in shape

[@robstark3464]

Joseph R unfortunately alot of guys like to drink beer, eat shit , and not PT

[@fignewton8690]

Very nice!

[@betsyrocks]

Thanks for this clip. I'm 51 years old and have recently started hill sprints instead of doing my usual 30 minute run. I just feel like I get more out of hill sprints. It feels good to be in my 50s and know I will be able to sprint for the bus or away a mugger. Haha.

[@KMAK88]

same mate I'm just starting too with a 10kg weight vest, hard work. keep it up, don't quit and I'll be thinking of you when I'm doing it so you better not quit on me......results await

[@jasonwelsh417]

Just turned 40 a month ago and I train hills at least twice a week. I feel better than I did at 20 and my joints feel amazing. Hills are all benefit and no cost on the body.

[@StricklyBizz_]

Hill sprints truly set elite athletes apart from average athletes .

[@MonacoRocha]

Great Bro. I'm 63 been training since I was 10 boxing karate and BJJ ect. I've been sprinting Steep hills now for 50 years... started doing it on my own when I was around 11 or 12... still doing it .... Ossss !!

[@ernestparker1022]

You sir are a Hammer !! Continue knocking dents in the universe

[@MonacoRocha]

@@ernestparker1022 Do you train brother ?

[@robc7484]

Years ago I would hill sprint sometimes. He’s right no one really talks about this, they mostly talk about flat sprints. This guy covered it really well, even the warmups. I’m gonna start doing this, great video! 🙌🏼👊🏼💪🏼😎

[@WhatInTheActualHealth]

I'm 53 and I race BMX.. a lot of the time, against guys half my age. Hill sprints took me from being a mid-pack rider to having a chance to win, every time I get on the starting gate. No other exercise has ever had a more dramatic impact on my performance..

[@GASPOfficial]

That’s really cool to hear. Have to love all the ways people train and how it affects their performance. Thanks for watching!

[@paulmadsen51]

Awesome video. I found a great hill for this while walking my dog the other day. Today, I'll start my hill sprint training! Thanks for the primer! 😁👍

[@keniasharpe1610]

I agree hills get you rite

[@inmeditatewetrust]

10 seconds in and I'm convinced 👍

[@littleelvisiscombatready9310]

I'm definitely going to start these. Was here looking for something for my daughter to supplement her track but Ill do these too.

[@GASPOfficial]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@SUF-py4ix]

Great video. I counted around 20 strides up the hill is that about right? Walk down sprint up about 10 times I think you said

[@darwinLee81283]

Awesome video. It will improve performance in every sport PERIOD

[@rafski-travels-1984]

I have had about 3 Achilles years on three different occasions one of which was during sprinting. Do who’ll sprints reduce tension on Achilles? I will say that I used to barefoot sprint up a massive sand dune that was the best and I had zero injuries.

[@michelef406]

Is it better to sprint on a flat, grass covered surface or on a very sloped but asphalted one?

[@jasonstevens5702]

Great video mate, how many times should you aim runningbup the hill. I see you had percentages to get ready, but after your warmed up what shouldbyou aim for

[@gregoryberns4166]

Thanks for a excellent video. I live in Dubuque IA. There are many hills here. How seconds or how many yards should my sprint be? There is alot of conflecting advice on this. Some say 90 seconds , some say 200 to 400 meters some say 20 to 30 sec while others say 15 to 20 sec and others say 8 to 10 sec, which is the best range.

[@GASPOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thx for the visit! 💪🏼

[@10pm-n5i]

Sounds good, I’ll try it.

[@GASPOfficial]

Let us know what you think 😊

[@Mandoingwell]

Dude.. your a beast! Thanks for the info!

[@Guitarmfig]

Excellent video

[@dacyalj]

So, I have a question about this. I'm actually rebuilding from an illness, but lost a lot of muscle mass. Will this help in that rebuild of muscle and body recomp or should I wait till after a month of lifting?

[@GASPOfficial]

I would ask your physical therapist and doctor first but either way sounds fine just listen to your body and go slow at first as to not reinjure yourself 💪🏻😎

[@andrewlopson3394]

Would you tell me what model Nike shoe you use in this video? Thanks in advance.

[@dilipnilakhe5443]

Dude you are awesome man

[@donnelleeustache4549]

One more thing what kind of nike shoes your waring if you don't mind me asking

[@fareedingram4626]

Man .. I wish I had a hill of grass to sprint like that ..

[@GASPOfficial]

That’d be awesome! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@martinangeles5335]

What kind of shoes are best for sprinting on grass?

[@johnpatt4217]

Cleats

[@MonacoRocha]

Hi Great Iron World..!!! How many days a week do you sprint hills...??

[@MonacoRocha]

I sprint 2x a week...

[@MonacoRocha]

How Many Hill Sprints do you do ?

[@KMAK88]

CURAHEE CURAHEE!!!

[@michelef406]

*TESTICULAR FORTITUDE*

[@rodredoun1922]

i live in Tampa, we have no hills.

[@S10Alexander]

Soft sand sprints will certainly do the trick

[@KeepGoingLarryB]

@@S10Alexander running in the sand slows you down.

[@S10Alexander]

@@KeepGoingLarryB The benefits of sprints are not how fast you’re moving relative to the earth, it’s the explosive output required from your body. Hills and sand are both a form of added resistance (overload).

[@KeepGoingLarryB]

@@S10Alexander sprints are supposed to make you fast. Yeah it’s a great muscle builder but I wouldn’t want to be slow in exchange for the little muscle gain you will get from replacing hill sprints with sand sprints. Probably better off sprinting with a prowler sled instead.

[@S10Alexander]

@@KeepGoingLarryB Yeah but a lot of people don’t have sleds on hand. Developing more explosive power, and turn over from sprint resistance (hills, sand, sleds) will make you faster when you run sprints without that resistance.

[@herculesh1907]

When technique and grace goes out the window

[@donnelleeustache4549]

Sometimes you can do it on the hill street

[@chadchad6531]

Imagine this guy running towards you XD

[@ryandeffley7652]

This is a great example of why sprints are overrated for fat loss. I mean the guy is a beast and trains hard. But he's got a high body fat%. It usually has to do with people over estimating how many calories sprints actually burn and they eat too damn much food. LOL Any type of sprint work is great for performance and conditioning. But if fat loss is a goal, be mindful of calories and walk a lot to stay active. Do the math. If you burn 100-150 cals a mile and walk 5-10 miles daily, that is WAY more cals burned than hill sprints 2x a week.

[@crowskull9735]

Walk 5 to 10 miles daily? You must have a lot of spare time on your hands, your letting this guys genetics and physique confuse the reality , your body fat percentage will come down to your dietary habits more then anything , running or walking for miles on end will burn more calories during your actual work out but then drop off, after you complete a sprinting routine your body will continue to burn calories and fat for 24 hours or more and actually burn more calories overall then low intensity cardio, plus high intensity sprints increases HGH levels better then any other form of exercise

[@ryandeffley7652]

@@crowskull9735 - You're actually preaching mis-informed "bro-science". The so called "afterburn" of EPOC has been disproven. There is a tiny spike in metabolic output. But not nearly to the extent that has been built up with it. LOL While you'll burn a decent amount of cals in one sprint workout, you will actually burn more on average with something you can do daily. If you're burning 500-700 calories in a 5 mile walk (depending on speed/weight) and you do that every day, that is WAY more weekly cals than in 2-3 sprint workouts. **Also hitting a brisk 5 mile walk takes like 65-75 minutes tops. How many hours do people sit around watching TV or being on the computer after work? Anyone can easily take 60-90 min out of their day to go for a faster paced walk. Doesn't involve "too much time" at all.

[@S10Alexander]

What I’m hearing is... sprint everyday

[@freshvesh2751]

I mean, doesn’t matter what you do if your calorie consumption is higher than what you burn. I suspect this guy doesn’t care about being super ripped and is more concerned with being strong and powerful

[@PPCSI133]

Sprint every other day and have a good diet. Really simple. Cut sugars, greasy food, fats food, juices and sodas. Drink mainly water and natural juice periodically. Make it routine and just do some form of activity 45min to and hour daily. Do hill sprint 3-5 times a week. I do running burpees jump rope and basketball

[@triedproven9908]

Nice turnover!
