Lifting for track

[messiboi19]

I weant to be a fast sprinter. What kind of lifts can I do to improve my speed. ???

Any explosive movements, specially for your legs. Also, the leaner you are, the less “unnecessary” weight you’ll carry so you’ll be faster. Diet will help with that.

Sprints with resistance and jump squats are obvious options. You can also do bench step ups, the most important thing is doing them as explosive as you can to develop that speed you want. Hope that helps.

For years doing the Olympic lifts explosively was a good way.

sprinters at the olympics are muscular dudes BUT they also have sick sick sick genetics that you don't have

even at the HS level the talent of some of these people are amazing and no matter how hard you train it won't matter

Sprinters train like athletes.

Walking lunges, box jumps, speed squats etc

To me, it is really more practice than specific lifts.

Squat of all kinds, box jumps etc.
They can benefit you to some extent but in general you get better at running fast by practicing running (fast).
