what's everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of California we haven't done
a speed video a little bit speed mechanics video so I was thinking what speed video should I do I
actually I'm gonna do two of them because it's too hard to really decide this is gonna be the
first one what is gonna be about is why your arm swing is making you slow what is maybe what what
is so important about how you're moving your arms that's making it so you're not running fast okay
and what it is is your ability to get your arm back okay almost everybody that I see who is
slow they're all they're only here they're only from arm forward and they're trying as
hard as they can and you know you get that kind of like box running they look like super stiff
when they're running and the issue is they're not getting the extension in their arm okay it's all
about the extension now there's the bait about D can you go straight arm you have to keep the
arm Bank honestly get extension okay that's what's important sometimes you to cut up on
oh [ __ ] my own adventure I'll be straight you know either one of them you can work either one
of them maybe see people that are successful in there's not one way that's better than the other
way the key thing is you need to get executed you need to get hard extension I mean I love
love-love-love the q of think about you hammering something behind you you know there's a wall here
and hammer that thing okay whether your arms bent your arm straight you're throwing that arm back as
hard as you can because there's two things that happen from that one is you make it so now your
arms are moving fast and when your arms moving fast it makes it I mean everybody knows this
when your arms move faster than your your legs are moving faster the issue is that we're not putting
up great enough concentration on really getting the extension part of it okay that's a big part
of the whole big picture the next thing is it makes ur so your core and your stabilization of
your core is you know astronomically higher if I'm going like this and my arms aren't violent
their arms aren't are slower my core doesn't have to work as hard to control my spine but
now if I'm fine and working hard here I have to use my core in order to make it so everything
stays upright and really at the end of the day your core is gonna be your make it or break it
ok you're not having success in your sport if you're not having success in speed if you're not
throwing it all hard enough your core needs to get stronger you need if you need a lift more you're
not strong enough you need to strengthen your core that's just you know the play not simple
of it is you need to make it so your ability to access your core it's better whether that
is exhaling better whether that's inhaling better using that diaphragm I mean I see a ton of people
that don't use their diaphragm right and that's it ends up being a big part of our whole session
is breathing the correct way or it's just not having all the strength all different parts I
mean there's a lower-left component there's an upper right component there's a blower side you
know there's so many components of the core and it all has to be working together okay back to
the arms the the way that help you in getting more extension is also to make sure that you have good
shoulder range of motion and good external rotation if I see somebody that comes in and
they're like this or they're like this and they're not running is bad you know they're they're not
very fast and coming for a speed work I mean I'm already going to tell you look one of the things
we're gonna work on yeah we're gonna do you know different power and we're gonna work on your lower
body we're gonna make it so your shoulders are in a better position I mean having the right posture
and having those shoulders in the right position is just so crucial being able to get that full
extension and really being able to create power with it right because if you're here you know
you can actually still be successful in getting some extension but it's gonna be all about you
know if you're not you're not gonna be able to get the maximum power behind that okay so make
sure you're working on on your shoulders make sure you're working on your ability to extend
and think about that more if one thing I want to touch right at the end a lot of times when I
start to get people going with those arms when they start to get faster their feet end up not
being able to stay up with their arms right so you start singing I'm almost looks like they're gonna
fall over okay and what that what the cause of that is is the inability to try to get that that
leg through okay she's really gonna work on meat drive as well as working on your ability to get
that extension that hard extension now the knee drive doesn't necessarily mean I need to reach
out really far it just means I need to get did stop getting get so stuck behind here your foot
doesn't need to be way back behind here get it up and through okay it's boom it's boom that's
what it should look like okay so get that knee back through and that will help you with your
speed tremendously alright as always thanks for watching these videos keep on watching them we're
gonna keep on helping you with your speed we're gonna keep on helping you throw them anywhere to
