See this content in the original post

Have you ever wondered how professional athletes like Saquon Barkley get so fast and powerful? Athletes like Saquon Barkley put themselves through a system of grueling speed training, strength training, and explosion workouts to help them run faster than most athletes. Although he's no longer in the NFL, the infamous wide receiver Antonio Brown, made a name for himself by putting himself through super intense speed training and strength training workouts such as those mentioned below to make him a Pro Bowl wide receiver.

Box Jumps

When doing box jumps you are working your core, glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, and even arms. It's no wonder that this simple exercise makes you faster. All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman developed a 38 inch vertical and ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at the NFL combine from making box jumps a significant part of his training routine.

Box Jump Workout

3 sets of 10 repetitions.

Squat jumps

Squat jumps are a great exercise to make you a faster and more explosive athlete. Squat jumps and plyometric jumps are basic drills that improve agility and power as well as help improve an athlete's vertical jump and speed. Athletes such as Odell Beckham Jr. include squat jumps in their training to make them the fastest athletes in the game. This exercise uses your lower body muscles as well as your core: abdominals, glutes, hamstrings, and lower back. Squat jumps rank at the top of all exercises while only using your body weight.

3 sets of 25 repetitions.

Lunges

A lunge is a single-leg bodyweight exercise that works your hips, glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core and the hard-to-reach muscles of your inner thighs. Super athletes like Alvin Kamara include body weight lunges and weighted lunges to develop the leg strength and stability to make him a faster and more explosive athlete.

Lunges workout

Stand with feet together, shoulders back, and core tight. Lift right leg off the floor and take a big step forward.

Lower your body toward the floor until right upper thigh is parallel to the floor and right knee forms about a 90-degree angle. Straighten up by pushing through right heel to return to standing.

3 sets of 10 repetitions each leg
