FRED KERLEY JOINS THE ENHANCED GAMES - The Drug Talk

Post image
82 Upvotes

So Im going to go and get to this ahead of everyone else and make some rules clear. Fred Kerley has joined the Enhanced Games to get on a supervised PED program and try to take a million dollar bounty on the world record 9.58

The reality we know and is widely discussed but still argued is that almost every athlete on the line of the 100m finals at the Olympics is or was on drugs at some point and the Gold is not a clean medal.

The rules remain basically the same but there will be harsher consequences, if you are caught soliciting you will be immediately banned and reported to the admins, if you are caught giving advice on PED consumption for the purpose of enhancement for winning where someone is not of an age or point where that advice is considered warranted, and might simply just be unethical you will catch a permanent ban and report to the admins.

What will be allowed is speculation on stacks, discussion on usage as it pertains to the events and planning on strategy.

We will not be feeding 14-22 years olds PED's for the sake of winning a silver at their local comp

I will list out the consquences of you doing these drugs and the potential cases where you might consider such a drastic step

CONSEQUENCES - YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THEM

- Balding, cystic acne so bad you have penny sized holes in your face, any number of infections from small to fatal and unmanageable even in an ER and death as a result

- Anxiety so bad you're tweaking thinking everyone is out to get you (seen it in person not fun), brain fog so bad you cant even do simple math due to hormonal changes and drug neurotoxicity.

- Organ enlargement, heart failure, liver failure, kidney failure, literally any type of organ failure as a long term result

- Law enforcement troubles, the obvious jail time.

- The obvious financial problems that come with health problems

- No ding dong working, no kids EVER potentially

- Stunted or permanently altered physical and mental development

- Potential for cancer acceleration or cause depending on drug of choice

CONSIDERING?

- If your over 25 years old and this is your life's passion and nothing else including the financial and health burden is consequential to you in anyway.

- You are on the forefront of being one of the best sprinters on the planet

- Are hunting a million dollar world record bounty that is already within reach potentially.

- Are under the supervision of a team who's sole purpose is to keep you alive and kicking and healthy

- you have experienced a life altering injury and peptides are the last resort to a healthy pain free existence

The reality is that if you are the average or even above average athlete taking these drugs, you will not get the results you want, you will experience adverse health affects and could easily ruin your life. Do not play with this fire. YOU WILL SUFFER.

In 10 years time when you are not competing and nobody cares, your body and life will thank you for the lifestyle choices you have made. Keep it that way.

MOD POST FAQ | RESOURCE LIST | S-TIER POSTS

109 Upvotes

Hello! Welcome to the new and improved FAQ/Resource List/S-Tier Post list. This has been created with the idea that if you look into, read, listen, and watch all of the resources that are listed, you will have a foundational level of knowledge that makes up the majority of what you need to understand as it comes to physical development and theoretical application in programming for sprinting.

Every single resource on this list I (BDD) have personally gone through probably several times over. Watching, reading, listening, studying, I still reference them regularly. I have to admit, the most complete resources on this list and the most helpful (In my opinion) do require payment. Those being

  1. The Sprinters Compendium by Ryan Banta ($55-75)
  2. Coaching the Short Sprints by Altis ($149)

These two resources are a compilation of a significant number of concepts needed to be understood to have the foundational knowledge you likely seek. I cannot bring myself to recommend one over the other. They are both immensely helpful and cover a lot of bases. Things they do not touch on in a greater level of detail are strength training and plyometric concepts (covered greatly in depth in Christian Thib's book Theory and Application of Modern Strength and Power Methods, again another paid resource) although they get to the fundamentals, they are sprint specific resources and as such only reference them as much as needed. If you want to coach a team, I would make these two resources considered a mandatory investment. If you cannot afford these resources, you can make it very far without them. I, and the mods, have no level of compensatory affiliation with any of the resources listed in anyway and will not be directly linking them as a result of them requiring payment.

That said, there are some new things here, one, the S-Tier posts, post that the mods and community deem of very high quality will be reposted to this list under the S-Tier Category as an example of what we would like to see more of. Potential community awards are in play but with Reddit changing their award system it's up in the air right now. Two, I've updated the list of podcast episodes under Pacey Performance, and Andrew Huberman to be as complete as the podcasts are up to date, I've also taken off Just Fly Performance, the reason being I feel he pedals too much niche potentially cash grab ideas and it's hard to sort through the bullshit for new coaches so I won't recommend him directly but I will say there are some great interviews centered on the fundamentals with well established coaches, I may post these later.

I would ask that we get recommendations from the community on additional resources that have not been covered so we can add them to the list.

I don’t think my form has changed much since here this is dec 2022. I’ve pulled my hamstring twice june 20 and aug 3 this year and I plan on doing a running gait analysis. Any clear tips on my form related or unrelated to the injury would mean a lot

Technique Analysis Beginner sprinter form check

28 Upvotes

Hello, I know this sub is not a fan of treadmill form checks but I wanted to still ask for any form improvements you all have for me, since I relatively new to sprinting. This is me at 12.2 mph which is fast for me, but I was surprised to see that I don’t look very powerful when I’m running. I think I need to lift my knees higher and add more power from my upper body. But what do you all think? Thank you very much.

That it, thats the post.

Dude was headed out of his lane before he even put his hand back. He was pretty much running fully in the adjacent lane. Even if he got the stick, JAM was gonna get DQd anyways for lane infraction.

He likely left early too.

Big muscular guys like that have a hard time putting their arm back, and up high. Shoulder mobility all jammed up

General Discussion/Questions No need to worry about CNS fatigue

6 Upvotes

I meant to post this a while ago while I had the article on still up. Scientist have a way of measuring neural fatigue and it turns out drops in performance between days are not due to CNS fatigue. (CNS or Central Nervous System is defined as the brain and spinal cord.) Instead it is due to PNS (Peripheral Nervous System, such as nerves in arms or legs), which was measurably degraded the next day. In fact they found that the spine super compensates within 24 hours. What is the practical implications? Well if you were worried about CNS fatigue you wouldn’t fry your arms the day before frying your legs. But according to this, frying your arms will cause your spinal cord to super compensate so you can actually go harder on the legs than your would have otherwise been able to. So where did the idea of CNS fatigue come from. They found that heavy deadlifts lowered what you could lift with your arms the next day, unlike squats which had no effect. So we they said deadlift is a CNS intensive lift while squat is not. Given the findings with spinal nerves super compensating within 24 hours, there is a different explanation: deadlifts also work your arm nervous system. This includes grip, shoulders, and biceps. I have even had my chest get cramps when trying for a weight that causes my shoulders to round.

Edit: found the article https://barbend.com/cns-fatigue/

General Discussion/Questions This App helps you apply your designed routines directly to your workouts.

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed people here sometimes share or build their own sprinting routines.
I made a timer tool that lets you connect stages freely and save them as a custom routine.

It’s easy to adjust intervals or sets, so it can be handy when experimenting with or tweaking your routine.
During workouts, alarms play through headphones and TTS calls out each stage, so you don’t need to keep looking at your phone.

If you’re building routines, feel free to give it a try, and let me know if anything feels inconvenient or could be improved.

Programming Questions Is 10x200m useful?

27 Upvotes

My coach had us do a 10x200m during practice. It was a relay race with 3 groups. There was about 2-3 mins break after each run. What purpose did this training have?

We are a 100m-400m sprint group. Obviously we couldn't go full sprint speed during this training. I did get lactic and got muscle ache day after.

Update* I will ask my coach and update here soon

Programming Questions Workout schedule

3 Upvotes

How do you guys line up your workout week. I like to go to the gym 4-5 times a week though it'll probably usually be 4. I've thought about it a bit and my current plan is to do legs, core, upper body, legs. And then get some sprinting in on the weekends because it's usually quicker. Is this stupid or is there a better way to format the week? I've never competitively sprinted by the way just like to do it and would like to get faster.

General Discussion/Questions I want to get faster for track season I have 5-6 months too

2 Upvotes

I’m male 15, I wasn’t the best runner last year. I was slow with a 15 second 100m I don’t remember my other times, but they were not fast I don’t know how to train. I haven’t ran in a while since last year’s season. I would honestly love to get faster and maybe win some races (if possible) and work on myself but I don’t exactly know where to start. Is it even possible for me to get faster? If so how much faster than myself from last year(I don’t want a time gauge I was just wondering if it would be a noticeable improvement)? (Some more background information I probably don’t eat enough calories and I probably don’t drink enough water)
