Principles of Power: 40 Yard Dash | Overtime Athletes

[@klankatar]

These videos are awesome, everything broken down step by step and then some vids of you being a badass athlete. Great work chris, keep them coming

[@hunterenea]

best speed power channel

[@mike-yp1uk]

thanks for explaining how to take off. you explain form in full detail and watching your video in repetition drills it into memory. no fancy machines,just hard work gets it.

[@ilyaa189]

best i've ever seen

[@bharlan2002]

I agree, my comment was one of those thinking while I type moments. I do those a lot on KZbin.

[@jmarsh2314]

He trains with Elliot!!!!!

[@anniebess2958]

I run a 4.6 in 7 grade so now I half to get my new one I will tell u what my new time is and im going to use your tips

[@Roscoe.KP0]

What was ir

[@joshuadang4086]

This actually works!

[@luigimandetta5633]

Excellent video, in comparison to my experience in athleticism, it resembles a lot

[@MUSCLEMANHOOD]

Good advice! Excellent explanations and instruction.

[@TheMrRaoul]

Thank you Chris

[@brandonfunaro9364]

The other day I got an exact 4.7 on my 40, and coaches said if I got better form down I can get a 4.4-4.5. Thanks for the vid :)

[@SinkfieldHoops]

Brandon Funaro way more than just form..

[@Venojin]

The shoddy editing on the music loop was very distracting, but overall very good advice. I like the new format. Keep it up Chris :)

[@Uprisingfitness]

Whats up chris! not sure if you remember me but we hung out at the after party after the strength camp challenge. I am matt and my buddy is andrew we talked extensively about training and about our company we wanted to start, well here we are and we would love the support brother if you could be so generous.

[@huntersallee7480]

Notice how he ended it at 4.40

[@kcalexander1995]

im am a 5'11 220 pound defensive lineman who will be playing college football at shorter university this fall. I always be doing speed excerise like skills ladder, jogs, random sprints in my neighborhood and lots of jump rope. What should be a goal 40 time for myself. The fastest I ever did was a 4.87. My Worst was a 5.1.

[@NiciO.G]

Elliots best was like 4:34 I believe...

[@anettewithers]

Wow! Interseting!

[@carsonfossum3689]

Chris, great stuff like always. However, it appears that you are cycling far to early in your acceleration phase - would have like to see you have a more piston like action with your legs the first few steps out of the blocks. Keep grindin' my man.

[@noeljohn4092]

sorry for the mistakes my daughter 12 yrs old runs 1.34 for the 600 meters race. any tips for her. like your video

[@7heAteles]

depends on a lot of factors. But if you look at an Olympic sprinter they are big strong dudes. As long as your flexible being bigger doesn't necessarily equate to being slower.

[@SH0CKM4NPWN3R]

I lowered my 40 time from 5.12 to a 4.12 in one month. had a nice workout program

[@FGxBeaver]

Jefferson Steelflex sure.....

[@takechix069]

I dont remember the last time i saw a dislike on one of chris's videos, and i see why

[@anthonydeboer7548]

u have to put credit for music..heart of courage is awesome ik

[@weightlossjourney726]

Great channel chris! I am a female (5ft8, 155lbs) and recently started running, but have encountered a few problems. When I am running or walking I land quite heavy on both feet and really hurt my knees.. So are there any techniques I can use to land softly on my feet? Thanks loads!!

[@oldeconomist4235]

What kind of running shoes are you wearing? Curious.

[@killer1014021]

I think they're niks frees

[@fl1ghtskool]

Can you do one on the baseball 60 yard dash or going from a baserunning position? Very curious to know your thoughts on that

[@fl1ghtskool]

completely different shit

[@HYTUBEH]

Chris, what do you mean by "without beginning to cycle"?

[@TheNewFitness]

Wish I could get help from you in person.. Where is your/elliots gym?

[@chimmychang87]

I ran a 7.0 about 7 months ago. Since then, ive stopped running in my training, and for the past 3 months, the main lower body exercises i do are squats and deadlifts along with some isolation exercises. Now ive gained 20 lbs of muscle, but will this type of workout and weight gaining in my training give me more power and speed, or less, than if i were to run all the time?

[@TheShikerWolf]

you should give creds to the creators of that song and the beginning. Heart of Courage - Two steps from hell

[@SirrAbernathy]

thanks bro

[@ChiCA2232]

What was the song in the beginning, so beautiful as if your heading into war.

[@KrayAmbition]

but i think when you jump or do a basketball (right hand) layup, you use the left leg because its more natural. i kick a ball with right b/c my left leg has more balance

[@aprod122]

haha first view...hopefully one day il get to this stage of athleticism but ive only started my journey!

[@Bane1Mirin]

I ran a 4.19 in high school but didn't want to play ball in college regret it now

[@Jasari149]

No, you didn't.

[@dash0173]

lol shut the fuck up. the fastest 40 ever ran is a 4.24...

[@SWllPR]

adza botchway The fastest 40 ran is 4.12 by Bo Jackson. Just saying.

[@hardpointmut9179]

This kid in NY ran a 3.91 unofficial

[@dash0173]

HardpointMUT For one, thats bullshit. Two, its unoficcial so he probably ran a 4.2/4.3

[@noeljohn4092]

my daughter 12 hrs runs 1.34 for 600 meters. any tips for her

[@neometalx9]

im right handed and i believe right footed as well.. when i kick i prefer to kick with my right

[@camyjumps]

never tried a 40 yard dash but i want to, my fastest 100m is like 11.8 and it was on slightly wet grass with running shoes not spikes

[@mehoboshit1]

chris talks a lot about doing the box jump... this exercise will be great for your hip extension!

Hi, I'm 17 sprinter. My PB is 11.01 for 100m dash. You have good technique without much ground contact time(maybe slow motion). I'm researching about full hip extension. How to reach that? What exercises need I do to reach full hip extension?

[@bharlan2002]

Is there a relationship with the power leg and the leg that drives forwards in the split jerk? I always start my sprints left leg as the power leg but when I catch my jerks it's always right leg leading. I wonder if I can move more weight leading with my left leg...

Meantime, Chris second strides recovery is high for starting.

[@alexmora2342]

What happen with Elliot's videos? On his channel

[@uhsainsalak6311]

What can help me get from a 4.57(last time i ran the 40) to a 4.3 within the next 3 years?

[@TheNewFitness]

He doesnt need, he deserves.

[@SICKTRICKSFB]

Yo Chris what's your 40/60 yard dash time?

[@kreekcrafttakestomuchlshes314]

how do you start with your left leg and do the thing in the thumbnail

[@stevenmei5957]

Goddam make another video please

[@ToneysReviews]

So if I can run a 4.40 40yd dash what would this increase my run time too?

[@InnanetSlatt]

If you have a decent start, a good start will usually shave off between .05 to .1 seconds and if you have a bad start it will take off about .1-.15 and make .2 seconds if it's horrible.

[@davonteevans5234]

I'm a 16 ur old defensive lineman that transfered to running back and I really need to gain over all speed my fastest 40yrd dash was 4.87 and I need it around a 4.49 is their anything u can tell me that will get my 40 time and overall speed faster

[@sherjeelrmalik]

nice

[@BKozhuharov]

I'm a bit confused, @ 1:25 you say "I go half a foot of the line and then I go full foot of the line" but It looks like you actually move your right leg Half foot off and then you move your left foot 1.5 foot off... ?

[@HYTUBEH]

Than you! I do appreciate it! But, I may be too dumb because I still don't get it.

[@romansedano6251]

Chris is a dope trainer elliot just stick ro philosophy

[@orlandofoster6561]

When he says about the power leg thing I thought if your right handed your right leg would be stronger instead of your left leg. Im 14 and I run 5:40 in the 40 meters is that decent?

[@vicvic889]

Maybe because Meters is different than yards keep pushing buddy you probably can run faster

[@pimpayyycsgo8799]

orlando foster i just turned 13 and I run a 4.8 for the 40 yard and 40 meters is only 43 yards so for your age not really but keep working on your speed

[@orlandofoster6561]

***** I joined an athletics club in may I've been training now I run 12.76 in the 100 meters haven't times my self in 40 meters yet

[@pimpayyycsgo8799]

ok

[@camyjumps]

why do you hold your breath for it?

[@makai9674]

I'll critique him on one thing and that is the position of his hand that is on the ground. He should be on his fingertips instead of having basically his whole hand on the ground. You wanna do this so your hand can "flick" out and you'll be able to get out quicker. You never see world class sprinters having almost their whole hand on the ground, they are all always on their fingertips while starting.

[@vigneshreddyvigneshreddy7755]

can any 1 plz help me .how to breathe while ruining for 200 meters

It's mostly about hip mobility..

[@sakelee]

you are the white elliot hulse

[@InnanetSlatt]

And what is Elliot? He's definitely not black.

[@Natano-v4p]

How do I get stronger with the 5x5 workout and develop mma or seal type cardio being cardio fit and fast without negating strength development or over training? I feel like if I lift and do like 2-3 mile timed runs I can't fit in sprints but if I lift and do sprints then I wouldn't have energy or time for timed runs. how do I periodize this?

[@redcypher1444]

Just do The Westside Conjugate Method..

[@Natano-v4p]

what is that

[@redcypher1444]

+nathan Rauch search it up and get as much knowledge from it as you can. You get bigger, faster and stronger with the conjugate method without having to do any phases like you would for a 5x5 program.

[@redcypher1444]

+nathan Rauch doing cardio and running miles isn't going to get you faster. Explosive box jumps, box squats, sumo deadlifts,dynamic pulls and squats, glute ham raises, leg curls and many more exercises will. If you wanna be fast you gotta be STRONG !! And the only way to do that is to train for absolute strength to get you there.

[@redcypher1444]

Linear periodization will only lead to plateaus in your training.

[@noeljohn4092]

[@seheadhunter50]

What is the name of that song playing when the video starts?

[@travz21]

The artist is Two Steps From Hell. They have hundreds and hundreds of awesome instrumental tracks. This is one of their more popular ones but I can't remember what it's called. You should be able to find it on KZbin.

[@seheadhunter50]

travz21 Thanks bro!!!!

[@TheBlaze4000]

[@nuk3527]

I got a 6.3 in 40 yard dash and I'm 11 and white

[@SwithinFeely]

are you tom cruise?

[@johnathanrivera8736]

In the 1 mile run i got 7.12 and im 12

[@another5961]

Average

[@WhiteBoy2412]

The chosen 1 That is definitely not average, I don't know what country you live in, but in the U.S, there is a National and Presidential test for children ages 8-18. In order to get the Presidential award for the One Mile Run if you are 12 years old, you have to run a 7:11. One second slower, which is what he (I am assuming he is a he) got, is not average, it is very good for his age. Do not post comments on topics in which you are not educated upon. You will crush peoples egos and attitudes towards their dreams.

[@vicvic889]

WhiteBoy2412 you're absolutely correct and they like to tell you to try to get there in 6 minutes to help you push harder lol

[@Angel-zc1vz]

I got 5:20 on my mile when i was 15

[@TheArtofBoxing101]

The chosen 1 Bitch you're fucking fat ass will be lucky to run a mile in sub 10 stfu el guerrouj wanabe.

[@fishlifeq8683]

good for u

[@denisburgard8904]

+benchaffleck nazi confirmed

[@aidanhopper2801]

Subhan Qureshi Mhmm... that's faster than most nfl players

[@fishlifeq8683]

most nfl players run under a 4.3 and when i said 4.4 i meant 4.43 an easy why to achieve a faster time is to go to your local cvs or Walgreens or any local drug store and purchase Creatine take a small dose every morning and do some front squats and dead lift and you'll a big difference in your sprinting right out the blocks

[@anniebess2958]

In my 40

[@michaellehnhardt312]

the back leg can't have weight

[@Frs-ss1bf]

im 11 and I do 5.60 seconds

[@briany8394]

[@SH0CKM4NPWN3R]

[@bluntrollin7752]

+RF Atleta & Gamer I'm 6'5 used to run a 4.32 I wouldn't even consider myself really fast

[@aidanhopper2801]

[@jeremynguyen8515]

+Max Bahls you're fat

[@mixvikings8789]

No I'm jacked and 152 now

[@jeremynguyen8515]

you're still short and you gained fat

[@mixvikings8789]

+Jeremy Nguyen ur just some puss on the Internet

[@YajoGaming]

+Max Bahls No he's for real. 5'5 and 145 lbs in 8th grade, to run faster you gotta get lighter or change that weight to be muscle

[@davonteevans5234]

I'm a 16 ur old defensive lineman that transfered to running back and I really need to gain over all speed my fastest 40yrd dash was 4.87 and I need it around a 4.49 is their anything u can tell me that will get my 40 time and overall speed faster

[@PrOdIgAlTiMmEh]

First of all, 4.87 to 4.49 is a huge drop. 4.5 is very fast, even for a professional. If this is a short-term goal, I recommend you rethink it because that sort of a drop is going to take quite a while and a lot of training. That being said, the best way to sprint faster is to sprint. Simple as that. In terms of weight training, Olympic lifts, deadlifts, and squats are your best friends to increase explosive power and to recruit fast-twitch muscle fiber.

[@davonteevans5234]

Thank u and it was a long term goal I would like to be their around my senior year but thank u very much for your help
