Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Getting back and improve acceleration,power,speed and explosiveness

i want to get back and improve my acceleration in regards to running and this ties into the type of running soccer.

So get as fast as possible and reach top speed as fast as possible so 0-10-20 meters and changing directions aswell so just acceleration 0-20 so getting up to top speed as fast as possible and also get that top speed faster in terms of the 0-20 meters.

Hope that explained it well :p
So getting past people with the ball and stuff

Thank you

Yeah after reading alot here i def. know that half squat is what i need to do for my acceleration since it mainly works the quads. I can really feel it helping. Before that i did deeper squats and that really took away the effect it had on my quads.

So half squat or to about 90 degrees is one exersice i do wich i think is great. The question regarding that exersice is how i should place my feet in terms of with and everything and if toes needs to point out or straight ahead. If it makes a difference in terms of muscle activation and all that jazz.

I also do squat jumps with around 30% and calf raises.
How much weight should i do on calf raises btw? im also just lifting for strength not size, even tho ofc they follow eachother but i do the low rep 1-3 reps to minimze the size gains.

Hello Gang

This is my first post ^^
Ive had 1-2 year break from my sport wich is soccer. Before i was really explosive and fast in terms of acceleration and changing directions so 0-20 meters etc like in soccer.
Once i quit i lost alot of it since i did not train strength for my legs in the weight room either to maintain it.

So now with alot of more knowledge i want to gain it all back and even get better since i know have the knowledge of using weights, plyos together with playing my sport to really see how fast i can get.

What should be the best protocol for me in terms of the weight lifting part and what plyos should i focus on ?

Right now i do 1/2 squats since i just want to target my quads hard since they are the major muscles in acceleration and all that. Before that i was doing deeper squats and i could really feel that i did not gain anything from it since i only used glutes and hamstrings.

Would be grat to hear your suggestions on how to squat to get the most out of it for the exersice in terms of quad and acceleration part and what other things i  should focus on. I do max squats for gaining strength like 1-3 reps each set and i also do calf raises.

Fire away :)
