What is Complosive Speed...?
Condition the hips and hip flexors for explosion and sprinting with assisted teaching
Complosive Speed started as Black Lion Strength & Speed with training athletes in balance, control, explosion and mental focus. After years of training while honing the teaching and coaching skills with the athletes, Black Lion Strength & Speed has developed into Complosive Speed that involves many levels of athletic performance that include: specific speed training that is unique and effective with being an explosive athlete, an in-depth training program working on speed, explosion, balance, control and core strength, selling the patented L Bands, recruiting evaluations to help college coaches and high school achieve the goals of making university/college sports programs the best possible and finally bringing all art enthusiasts the possibility of enjoying personalized sports & landscape works of art.
L System History
During my playing days in college, I was introduced to video analysis with practices and games. I caught my first glimpse of my incorrect running form while watching others in my same position move much more quickly and agilely. I noticed they were all lower to the ground while not letting their legs stay behind them thus putting great emphasis on the hip flexors for knee drive and fast turnover. All in direct contradiction to what I’d been taught.
I knew the two major areas for increasing speed were stride length and stride frequency. Stride frequency was an easy concept , you just had to move the legs faster but what about stride length? Across the board it seemed that driving the knee out in front you with the hip flexors would achieve full stride length. What was going to go past that would be the conditioning of the muscles to ‘explode into the leaping motion to stay in the air longer and increase the distance with each jump.
By keeping the knees bent at all times I was eliminating wasted distance in the back and having a quicker turnover with the knees coming out as far in front as possible with emphasizing the hip flexors once again. I started to understand what people meant when they referred to a sprint as floating on the surface. I had a soft hit on the surface while rotating the legs at a fast rate. I couldn’t hold the sprint for long and thought that this would be my full sprint speed when I needed to kick it in.
With that in mind, I practiced transitioning into the position during a normal run when I was more upright and it worked!
Now all athletes who train go through the system's principal while combining all aspects of training.
