Sports Training - Speed Workouts - 40 Yard Dash

[LaMichaelJames]

im 14 n i run a 4.6 40

[Gman94Raw]

how many reps of 40 yard sprints do u do at a time

[kennyflores]

wow i ran it in 4.4 seconds big deal

[pyrohero2010]

i ran my 40 today for practice...i got a 4.89...i did way better then last season workouts i was at a 5.32...but the best workouts i say from expeirence is stretching and steps....help alot

[Acofutbol10]

i ran it in 5.6 seconds

[dtackle105]

well im 6'2 and when i first ran it at 275 (mostly muscle) i ran a 5.02. theres a kd same height at 300 even that is all muscle bu he runs a 4.95. crazy bibg guys got wheels

[microtekpwr]

im 13 to and run a 4.6 in my 40 and 10.9 in my 100m, and 59.4 in my 400m

[japan817]

damn, thats impressive...keep up the good work...my best times are 10.4 100m 4.34 40 my most recent is 4.41 but my 400 sucked 56.00 and . my advice to you young man, is keep it up, enjoy the ladies but not too much like i did and lose focus and, balance out your cardio with your weight lifting, at 230 all i can do know is run a 4.41 40, after that who knows, lol. also, stay in summer track and if you dont play football, run cross country to stay in shape.

[Teddypain20]

I Ran A 4.42 In The 40.

[jenglish1984]

im 24; first attempt 5.2

[AlphaMVP]

im 13 i run a 5

[weedz77]

im 18 fairly outta shape and i run a 4.5.

[BeanoBuzz]

Thsi one is better than his 'vertical jump' training. The 40 yard dash should be considered as a 'drive phase', with head down, accelerating throughout the entire distance. Trying to take as long and as fast a stride as possible to increase top speed. Worked for me (granted, it took 2 years of practice) Started with a 4.56seconds, ended with 4.29 on track with cleats... not bad for a guy with a 32" inseam...

[AIXX9330]

Im only 14 and ran it in 4.89 sec.

[Amrcnhdchrg]

I drank a 40 in 4.4

[rich187113]

There's loads of shit about Usain Bolt doing 3.86, no way Usain starts slow then about 50 metres into his 100m he gose fast. Someone like Jason Gardner would be good at this.

[deamr1]

[timucuassss]

whats the dash help you with?

[rich187113]

40 yards I do 5:8. And I'm only 14.

[SarcalogosDiscipulu]

Im sure stbateman54, at 160 your just an animal. Linebackers aren't 160 lbs.

[kdee1912]

yea and im 5 years old bench 800 pounds squat 100 and run a 3.8 fourty

[TheNamek14]

wtf u dont run a 40 in 2.3 u know u basically sayin u run 20 yards in 1 second. where the hell were u in beijing then

[willaznshields]

[1bass]

idk what mine is bood i wanna start playing football

and i know im slow cuz i been lazy for a long time.....

yall have some idea for me to build some speed

[Blake0003]

yeah speed ladders r ok, but u need to work on actually opening up and running. try to get ur hand on a parachute so training with that resistance will help u with ur body lean as well as ur strength and endurance.

[stbateman54]

hey i bench 315 run a 4.5 40 yard dash and weigh 160 lbs im 17 and 5ft 8in but my coach wont let me play offense (all-state linebacker) but i think i could have been all state running back

[rich187113]

160 lbs is very heavy for someone at only 5ft 8in tall. I'm 5ft 7in and weigh 133 lbs. I run the 100 metres in 13.80 which isn't bad, just above average for my age. I hope to get too the olympics in 2016.

[boyofwits]

there is no way you are going to the olympics.

[drummer4life10]

usain bolt- 3.53

[dumb4ss2021]

if you really wanna even compete on a nationally ranked high school team like Plano Senior...you gotta bench 315 and squat 500 like i do...a 4.5 40 and a 3.8 shuttle is how a true team is made

[54spiritedwill54]

im 5'9 155 and i ran a 4.4

[erick2good]

espn said the speed usain was running on the 200 would run 3.5 at a 40yard dash YES A 3.5 I KNOW WOW

[meb1884]

[RBCozer]

I'm only 14, I play as a HB and I can do a 40 yds run in just 4.0 to 4.5 seconds

[carmas23]

im 9 i also play football pop warner i ran a 2.96 40 last time i was kinda tired though so w/e

[goldengatedolphins1]

wtf you didnt run a 40 in 2.96

[AvAFanDan]

first of all you fuckin retard the NFL record is in the high 4.1's like 4.17-4.19 and A decently fast wide reciever runs it in 4.4-4.5 in college or the pros so at 14 if you ran a 4.5 something you would be like all world and recruited for the olympics for track and field so before you open up your mouth again learn something so you aren't as embarrasing as you just soounded

[havel33]

ok if im 15 and run a 4.5 and im not recruited by the olympics some there are so many more people faster than me

some people are just faster

[jraybay]

I run 4.4 I'm 17. just naturally fast. :D

[SHAF1000]

lol damn u goin nfl lol

[AvAFanDan]

thats extremely fast like D-1 football speed you should try track if you don't... I can run it in 4.55-4.65 and I am 16 and the fastest kid in my town

[Willytay93]

hey im 14 and run a 4.9 and weigh about 145 anyone have any tips to help improve speed?

[ctho2598]

speed ladders and jump roping

[Ghostmankiilah]

[thebulletdodger47]

Emmitt Smith ran like only a 4.7

[highjumper180]

if your vetical jump is only 24 inches there is no way your fast enough to fun a 4.4 i have a 34 inch standing vert and only run a 4.7

[rip2pac22]

[stbateman54]

running 40 yards requires more technique and endurance than 1 jump

[timsshop]

[crazymanic3211]

[ShortyMf21]

[jodyisfag]

limred i could do that stuff in my sleep, except that 4.4 40 you are lying about

[FunTimesDL]

im 14 and yesterday i ran a 4.7 and i weight 170 pounds

[BYRDMAN1100RYDA]

[cougarbart]

Shut up and quit lying to get attention you little retard.

[dusd0]

i ran a 4.7 yester day with no warm up and i can do a 100m in 10.56

[LouNYF]

again nobody cares

[matt62591]

walter payton only ran a 4.80 and jerry rice ran a 4.50

[krb0123]

damn walter payton was slow

[KampinKarl1]

Jerry Rice was a lot faster game-time.

[alexchhester]

So i turned 16 one week ago and am 5'11", 200 The last time we tested for school before christmas i ran a really raw 4.75 twice with bad technique. Now after track season and alot of heavy lifting, i feel alott faster. what do you think i can get down to? and any tips?

[hitstickdiklik]

im about the same size as u im 5 10 180 and i run a 4. 45, one of the best ways to work on yr speed and explosion is to run stairs, it is better for you that running up hill cus it makes u get your knees up, also when running your 40, go in a 3 point stance, sum ppl do 4 but that normally puts to much weight forward and u spend to much time trying to regain balence, pump as hard as u can with your arms and try to get your legs to keep up, this should help u

[kingdevin07]

can you believe deion sanders ran a 4.5 backwards

[JunOakaDJ]

WTF HE RAN A 4.5 BACKWARDS!!!!???????

[Shredman40]

I believe it because the man spent half of his life running backwards in the pros.

[Zactastic]

I ran a 4.9 un-trained the other day. what do you think i could get it down too after major workouts? 4.5?

[5150316]

well depending on how old you are but if you ran a 4.9 it would be possible to get 4.5 but it depends on the way you train its not all genetics, hard work as a lot to do with it plus 40 speed does not account for top speed so if you can outrun most people then dont worry bout it to much focus on getting quicker if thats the case

[whbcanes092]

im 17 and run a 4.65 i needa be like a tenth faster for serious college ball.....tryin to trim it down

[wadewade16]

nah ,,hester ran a 4,5 r sumthing like dat 4,16 lol

[MLGFusioN]

im a freshman in high school and i run a 4.8 or 4.9

[plasmn23]

i run a 4.39 and im only a freshman in high school baby ima play big time college ball nuccas

[Jeff876533]

Okay. Nice way to be cocky. I run a 4.34 and i'm a freshman also. But i dont go off boasting about it. So stop it makes you look like a bad team player

Jeff K.

[Stevemelford]

neither of you run a 4.3 maybe 5.3 but not 4.3(reggie bush ran a 4.33 at usc's pro day)

[Shredman40]

out of all honesty there isn't to many people that can run a 4.3 electronically. They had to train for a long time to accomplish that. Your 4.39 is probably at the most a 4.7 or 4.8 Electonically. If you add the .27 or hand time and take out the timers reaction time. But thats a good start to have a good 40 down the road.

[willydee]

I think the fastest college football player is Jacoby Ford from Clemson, who has been clocked at a 4.17. I'm not 100% positive on that though.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

4.17?? Are you feeling ok?

[idkwhatfreakingname]

okay yamon figurs of the ravens runs a 4.13 and deven hester a 4.16 the fastest in NFL is not a 4.19 but no ones ever run under a 4 the fastest man on earth ran like a 4.09 or somethin around that area

[gatorboy2606]

ur an idiot hester doesn run a 4.16 he has ran a 4.27 and that was hand timed his relal time has been a 4.37 dude ur a dumbass

[Shaynet33]

no he didnt run a 3.9 you dumb shit - I play college ball and the fastest person in NCAA ran a 4.19

[lilmauricejr]

wrong deion sanders ran a 4.15 and bo jackson ran a 4.12

[cowboysfootballa1]

for that criminals all day fella hes wrong, michael vick ran a 3.9

[Fatsmagoo1]

You can't run a 3.9 the fastest person in the NFL runs a 4.19

[mehlhorn08]

Where did you find this information?

[Pengunisgangsta]

No one saying Reggie Bush is fastest in the NFL. We are simply pointing out that people that give

Reggie Bushs time like 4.4 or 4.3 are bull shitting , firstly because they have nothing to back that up with, and secondly you tube is so not the place to brag about it.

[omicdakid]

im 14 135 and run a 6.0 can some 1 help me and i play football . Im not fat and im quick i just suck @ 40's what makes you go fast serious

[mma8eu]

concentrate on your hamstrings when you workout...and do quick explosive movements in all you lowerbody workouts and slow concentrated movements on the negetive. most important watch your form. my biggest mistake in high school was poor form...your about the same age as my little brother and youd be surprised at how fast some1 your age can improve your speed and add muscle

[dodobird116]

it helps if u have longer legs, then u can kinda do a kicking motion everytime u lift ur feet whle u run

[SOHCturboEF]

ITS ALL TECHNIQUE

[maicunni]

haha I ran back to back 4.45 and I got it from my dad. It's all genetics.

[seoulboi]

ahahahahah 4.45? runin and comin back?

so u did the 40m in 2.2 sec... congrats ur the fastest man alive retard

[LTW4EVER]

another thing is u have to do stretches EVERYDAY u need to get real flexable and do alot of ab work having strong abs helps with everything

[dusd0]

actually if you strecth to much youre muscls get o long and you will start to run slower so only strecth to a certan point if you want to get youre max speed(beacause it takes longer for youre muscle to retract)

[CriminalsallDay]

yall act like reggie bush ran datfastest 40 shit the fastest 40 in da league of the nfl is 4.12 by bo jackson the raiders old hall of fame HB and Champ Baileys time was 4.29 soo all yall niggas hype

[CsPenguiniHax]

Of course you people that say they run 40 yard dash in 4.4 or 4.3 or even 4.5 that Reggie Bush him self only done 4.33 so I honestly don't see anyone who left a comment running 4.4

quit lying and trying to impress people on the internet that just pathetic.

[trainingground]

It is possible that a light lean runner can run as fast, or faster than Reggie Bush. 4.4 is only a great 40 time for a world class football player carrying around 40 lbs of extra muscle.

[bmarkus01]

yeah no kidding, those kids saying they run 4.4s and 4.5's...just stupid... i am a 16 y.o and im not gonna lie, i am 6'2 and 177 lbs, and i run a 4.7 40 and a 51.00 400

[stephenscounty]

Yeah. i'm about 6'0" and i run 4.4

[ufgators3xx]

6'5 210

40 time-4.53

[OUBOXER]

i love all the teenagers throwing out world class 40 times with no video or evidence to back it up.

[phuocisdabomb]

my max ever was like 4.8 but now is like 5. gained extra pounds over the summer

[The4thBrother]

the faster you throw your arms back the faster your legs will go... high knees is also important it gives you more power and longer strides. Then you also want to work out your hamstring muscles and your ass muslces. seated leg press is the best machine to work all the muscles you need to be quicker... thats all I know. I'm white and I run a 4.4 40 and before I worked out I only ran a 5.1 so apparently it's working.

[CsPenguiniHax]

Who ever says they did 40 yard dash in 4.3 is bull shitting, unless your in your senior year of college or Actually in the NFL no person can do that otherwise. I mean all of the 15 to 19 year olds, I am 16 starting running back for AAA team and my 40 was 4.6

[phuocisdabomb]

nah dude, theres this one kid in my school his best was like 4.24 or something like that. regularly he get 4.3 no problem. hes black so haha

[rome403]

damn brah we've had several kids run 4.4,4.3,4.2 at two high schools i went to...and just because you are a starting running back doesnt mean you are the fastest dude on earth i dont even play football but my 40 is a 4.4 and im 17

[Flash7474]

damn i need to get my fourty down..

im a olineman.. 6'3 255 and my fourtys a 5.6..

i need to get it down to about 5.3 by next season..

[joeguy02]

you can't teach speed...you can improve speed but you can't teach it. you rather have it or your don't

[shooters45]

I did a 4.34

[Haggs60]

hey this year going into my junior yr i was asked to play full back and need to work on my speed any tips?

[ohitsubob]

yea, exact same thing, next year il be playing running back for varsity, any other speed training tips?

[BlinkyBillthekoala]

here's my tip.  Train your leggs like hell. it takes freaking long to improve your speed.

[Nikon05]

back when i was younger i did this in around 4.85secs but ive totally lost it. is there any gud exercises to help build up speed in ur legs?

[jono28613]

im 15 turning 16 i want to become a faster sprinter what should i do to gain speed should i weight left alot like squating or bike

[michaelm00re]

hey jono i run a 4.28 40yd and a 21.7 200m. 6'2 190. And i am attending Rice university on a full scholarship for football. To improve your 40yd time. You need to do the following.

acquire a proper starting position. Keep a good drive phase. and cycle your legs over your knees. Almost like doing high knees and butt kicks at the same time. Also being flexible will help with your strides.

[USA1Army]

haha, nice, if you are one of the guys in your band videos I can't wait to kick your ass next year on the field.

[slick0123]

so ur faster than reggie bush?

[Tbarber2112]

whats tour name i will look you up next year, haha o loved the reggie bush comment, wtf do people find out of like lying on youtube

[rawcrack99]

im in 7th grade i run 4.6 i swear im from africa

[swampdog597]

anyone have any tips on how i can get my 40 down. im a linebacker/de/offensive tackle for my high school. I can tackle with the best of them and im strong enough to play D1 football but i need my 40 to be at least a 4.8 or 4.9. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

[moejobe]

Definately Power CLeans and deadlifts (Olympic lifters have the fastest 10 yard dash in the world b/c they are so explosive) and loose some fat with conditioning and Flexibility definately helps.

[bizzy001]

Only the elite run 4.5's or lower in High School, them and the little skinny, scrawny ass track kids who's speed go to waste. Unless you're athletic and are one of the elite at your school your speeds are irrelevant because chances are you can't put those speeds to proper use athletically speaking.

[diamepiece]

i just clocked 4.46 yeah boy

[Nintendo124]

4.72 soph i got this electric from sparq in a gym so idk if thats good on a gym floor :D

[G3t3mBoyz]

I'm a freshmen and run my 40 in 4.6...

[schwein]

h.s. fb record 4.34, 400m record 47.6  ;)

[SonOfDiabl0]

if you where running a 4.34 you wouldnt be a fullback retard! and you would also have medals in states but you dont! if you knew anything about football you woulda said u where a hb!

[Nintendo124]

for fb he meant football i think :) btw he probably cant run a 4.34

[stltrackstar23]

all yall claimin you run 4.6s and bla bla bla and shit i got news for you YOU DONT dont say you do it til you get electric timed ok. who wants to race yall see whats good
