Strength training, also known as weight training is very important in achieving the goal of becoming a sprinter.
Most serious athletes do some sort of weight training, but it may not work for everyone.
The great American sprinter and long jumper, Carl Lewis, said that he performed his worst in the one year that he did weight train.
It all depends on personal preference on whether or not you believe a weight program is right for you.
At FAU, we weight train three times a week. After our workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's we hit the gym for an hour long strength and conditioning session.
I will post our weight room workout in one of my future entries.
