Lowering my 40/Getting faster - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

HatchSurfer3 · 09-23-2008, 07:33 PM

Ok so Im on my way back from a broken ankle that happened at the end of my season last year and I need to get my speed back. I've always been pretty fast, but I want to come back even faster. My goal is to be 210lbs and have a decent 40. I've never actually been timed in the 40 but estimate somewhere in the mid to high 4's, like a 4.7 or something last season. I want to be at least at a 4.5. I know of a lot of exercises to help, but was wondering if anyone has lowered they're times and what worked for them. Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S.- I know some people may say that 40 times are over rated because you don't have the chance to set up in a 3-point stance and run perfectly straight for 4-5 secs. Regardless, I just want to be faster haha.

isometrics and plyometrics are awesome for you. you're slow anyway so it doesnt matter ha

HatchSurfer3 · 10-01-2008, 10:32 AM

Yea ive incorporated both before. Was just curious about that particular program since he claims nothing will get you as good of results and blah blah blah.

PS- just cause my car is slow doesn't mean I am so shut it haha

97TurboDSM · 10-01-2008, 02:39 PM

lol touche. any type of resistance training will get you great results and lower your 40 times.

HatchSurfer3 · 10-01-2008, 10:05 PM

yea ive been doin plyometrics once or twice a week for a couple weeks now. and just started the isometrics today, we'll see how it goes.
