High Force Training For Speed Development

I think we’re probably not that good at developing speed cause we just don’t do enough actual high impact work

It’s usually seen as dangerous

The impulses, hyper work i post, even some of this (the video in this article) will probably be seen as dangerous

Response will be “isn’t that going to tear up your joints”

But that’s what speed is

I don’t mean tearing up your joints - speed does not tear up your joints

But i mean it’s high impact. It’s intense. There is a lot of force and a lot of load going into the system all at once at a very rapid rate

And since training so often leads towards the “be safe” end of the spectrum

Work that can actually develop that i think tends to be shied away from

And i don’t think training in this way has to be dangerous. In fact i don’t think it SHOULD be - training in a way you know is dangerous doesn’t make any sense

But also not doing any of this type of work - where the tissue is asked to rapidly accept very high amounts of force - also doesn’t make much sense

Cause that’s mostly what sport and life is

Which simply means we have to implement it intelligently
