Hey ADARQ/ LanceSTS!
First off I wanna say adarq.org is the best training website on the internet.
I'm a high school athlete whose focus is 200/400m sprinting (but I also play basketball and high jump, so vert is very important to me). Last time I measured my vert it was about 38-39 inches (16 years old). I'm still in track for 3 more weeks then it's down to raw explosive training for a couple months, which I'm pumped for. Since I've been injured quite a bit in the past two years I feel as if even though I'm very lean (6'4 185) I'm still carrying a little extra weight up top, particularly my arms. Since I'm most likely going to end up putting on a few pounds lower body I was wondering what I should do to train upper body if I want my arms to stay the same size, but get more efficient. I have a six pack, but my arms are really not that cut. I was thinking of just doing body weight exercises, but if you have any recommendations about what to do to get a shredded, but still powerful upper body without putting on size they'd be greatly appreciated. Do you guys have any information on what sprinters/high jumpers do to train their upperbody? Thanks so much guys for making me a better athlete.
