Muscle Strengthening with Yann Guyader 02: Reinforcing the push phase

Reinforcing the push phase

Aim of the drill

Keeping the stance as low as you can, the aim being to improve your resistance to lactic and keep a compact and low stance despite the pain. It will also enable you to get a bigger stride amplitude. This drill is a good core strengthener too, since you have to keep your abs strained the whole time.

Length

The drill should last between 30 sec and 2 min without break.

Stimulated muscle groups:

• Quadriceps
• Hamstrings
• Calves
• Anterior tibial muscle (shin)
• Abs
• Lumbars (low back)
