Track and field

Want to know what the key to speed and power is? It’s built through squats, deadlifts, and plyometrics. This analogy will make sense take 2, 180lb male athletes and one (A) has a 1.5 body weight deadlift totalling 270lbs and the other athlete (B) has a 2x body weight deadlift totalling 360lbs.
