This can definitely be true but here’s a few things to know about hypertrophy: 1. All other factors being equal, a muscle with a greater cross-sectional area is capable of generating MORE FORCE than one with less. 2. Even though strength and size are related in this sense and can increase simultaneously, they are different qualities that can be targeted separately through various training methods. 3. by avoiding hypertophy work and focus on heavy training we minimize the weight gain and maximize the strength gain This is the Paradox of muscle mass - All other factors being equal, if two bodies with different weights apply the same force into the ground while sprinting, the lighter one is going to move faster because the force is being applied back to a lighter body. These are differences in relative force! Images shown below is Harry Aikines-Aryeetey PR of 10.08 and Andre de Grasse PR 9.89 - they both reach the same top speed however, De Grasse has better speed endurance which explain why he is better at the 200m - Way 50 more pounds and runs relatively the same max speed. Would he run faster if he weighed less or does muscle help him in this case? - I believe everyone is built different and you have to find what works best for you

What’s up everyone ! Super happy to get this group going and to start posting some content here🙌🏼 What is everyone’s goal? 100m PR? Get ready for football combine? Etc. My current goal is to break 7k in the decathlon, short term goal - rehab from shoulder surgery😓

What's up everyone! Starting Sunday I am going to start posting a free week of training. Every week will build on each other. The first block of training will go through a general prep block so anyone can go through it no matter what level you are at. Stay tuned for the first week of training in 3 days!! Drop in the comments below what your biggest strength and weakness is when it comes to performance... I'll go first Strength: strength comes very easy to me, been squatting over 405 since I was a teenager Weakness: any form of cardio, basically if it lasts for 30" or longer my body shuts down
