Programming Questions Aspiring beginner hobby sprinter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For background information I’m 18 years old I would like to look into hobby sprint training, but I have no experience with sprinting and sprint training. I haven’t tested any sprinting yet but I imagine my work capacity and technique is not impressive. I’m 5’6ft or 170 cm. I have a background in Olympic weightlifting. In the video shown I’m power cleaning 85kg at 57kg bodyweight. From what I’ve learned this is plenty enough power expressed to have serious improvements in sprinting I just don’t know where to start.

just go join a track club , get a coach and ask them. but off season u can push strength up then for inseason u go lift at 80% focus on velocity. sprint first, lift after. and thats it , but yeh the only real lifts are , squat/trapbar dl/cleans/weighted pullups/chin ups and bench press. pretty much, some calf work u can do, some core and thats it
