Lessons From Sprinting With the Elite
Matt Delaney
Two Years ago, I had the pleasure of training every day and sometimes multiple times per day with 2008 Olympian in the 110 hurdles, Hector Cotto, and his coach Carl Valle. It was an awesome experience from which I learned so much on speed development and being in great shape. At the time, I already had a great strength base from Olympic lifts, and could clean 300lbs easily weighing only 170lbs, but I had no idea what I was in for.

It was an awesome experience and one I couldn't put a price on. Here are a few lessons I learned. . . . keep reading

Then a respected strength coach named Michael Boyle put out a video suggesting that back squats should be removed from all strength training programming based on the fact that the primary weak link is the lower back. To make matters more interesting internationally respected strength coach and physical therapist Gray Cook also argues that the back squat is only useful for lifting as much external load (weight) as possible but for athletics the focus should be on function. . . . keep reading
