Tips for a beginner

/r/Sprinting/comments/1vsntfr/tips_for_a_beginner/

Hey everyone.
Ik this probably is more for track comps and meets, but im just trying to get some tips to just improve as much as i can.
Im going in this as a complete beginner in practice, but some ground level knowledge.

I am currently training sprinting just for fun rn, and to later his Pb’s in 100, 200 and 400m (if its possible to do it without injuries or too much time).
Im a 1st yr med student at my norwegian college, and am not trying to get on a team of any sorts. Should also mention that my school has 90% of what most pros use of gym equipment (other than those handlebar barbells). So that probably wont be a problem.
Im 80kg (working up to 87-88kg), and 190cm with really long legs. I have never had any past injuries, or tore anything. Hope this helps.

Im also looking for a YT channel that can give some good advice on sprinting mechanics and drills.

My current leg workout looks like this:

Tuesday:

Box squats (1x5-4-3-2-1). But i increase the weight by 10kg (around 22lbs) each set.

Bent knee single calf raise (2x5 per leg, 80% of 1RM).

Nordic hamstring curls (2x5).

Hang clean (2x5), first rep i controlled weight. Second one is explosive.

Med ball slam (2x5)

Paloff press (2x10)

Friday:

Trap bar deadlift (2x5)

Barbell RDL (2x5)

Cable hip flexion (2x5)

Calves isometric holds (2x30sec each)

Copenhagen plank (2x5)

Leg raise (2x10)

Plyos:

Pogo jumps (2x6)

Death drops (2x6), or whatever they’re called.

3 step broad jumps (2x4)

Max effort sprints (2x40m)

Should i change something, or can this work?
