Eric, I am thinking of taking up sprinting to lose a few really stubborn pounds around my belly. How do I choose shoes for that? Can you please make a detailed video? Thanks. O btw. this video is great. did learn a few new things, esp abt negative footspeed! GJ

Thumbs up!!! It is really really REALLY helpful!!!!!

Hey Eric i wanna talk about the butt kick technique u just mentioned... THATS WRONG. the actual key to sprinting faster is "running over ur knee", in other words lifting ur knees up higher because that increases the stride and forces you to run through the ground instead of on the ground, thus making u faster

I picked up loads of tips from this video. Keep it up, Eric! What work-rest ratio do you normally prescribe for your MMA athletes?

[ericwongmma]

@clementinho04... honestly it depends on what we're trying to work. Not everyone needs the same work:rest ratio. Just some examples: lactic endurance/recovery = 60s:30-60s... alactic power = 10-15:90-120... One blanket statement can't do the human body's complexity justice. :)

Nice video man....get your guys to do Hill sprints too...decent Incline, vary it up a bit...Gradual acceleration for first 10-15m then max effort to 30-40m....or roll-in on flat part for 10m or so and max effort uphill 20-30m....like you said in you reply to kwelboss, ensure fair rest....high effort sprinting near your max speed needs a couple minutes so your cns doesn't get absolutely waxed....

i love sprinting

and martin rooney says that it is important

but WHAT ARE the REASONS ?

powerful legs, less fat, speed and what else?

[ericwongmma]

@TheBTHONG, all of the above, as well as improved core stability and strength, cardiovascular power and we can nit pick and add tons of things but there's no reason NOT to sprint!

[TheBTHONG]

@ericwongmma is sprinting once a week enough? I jog 2 times for 45 min plus sprinting one time a week

is it me or is the sound messed up?

Thank you for the video Eric and keep up the good work!

[ericwongmma]

@BobJackson76 I think it's you! :)

[bibliotheek357]

@BobJackson76 Almost all the sound is focused on the left side of the headphone, if that's what you mean.

Thank you for the video Eric and keep up the good work!

i like your videos i got educated from them. there are so many information i can use !!

[hugoboss1983]

Hi Eric, I love your work because you are all about breaking down things scientifically and working the least to get the maximum results. I am currently on your 8 week muscle building program. Really happy with it. I've seen a lot of products that focus on stretching, but are really painful and or really boring. I would like to be able to do slips and all that for my striking and grappling. Any video or products that you have for that. Thanks.

[kwelboss]

Hi Eric, could you give us an idea of how much/many sprints we could be doing? I currently try to do 2-3x pw.

[ericwongmma]

@kwelboss that is a question that requires much more than 500 characters on YouTube... but let me give you a few tips... If you're training for max speed - short sprints, like 10 seconds long, followed by up to 1-2 minutes of rest, repeated 8-12 times is a good bet... for more endurance, you're looking at 30-90 seconds, at which point you can rest anywhere from 1-3 minutes off, depending on your goals... 6-10 of those bad boys is good for most.

[kwelboss]

@ericwongmma thankyou sir.

[YoshisSushi]

FYI - I meant 'HEELS TO BUTT' not the other way around lol
