Why everyone on the planet should sprint
You’ve invested a lot of time, energy and calories to build your hypertrophy house on Jacked Street. You look great and are stronger than you were back in your day playing sports. Now you’re feeling the itch to test yourself and strap it back up to see if you still got it.

Tune in as John and Tex take you through the benefits of sprinting for muscle mass, key exercises to bring into your daily workouts, and elements to avoid to keep your hamstrings in one piece when going full-speed!
