Story: I’ve have been wanting to become a running back for my football team and had trouble increasing my speed. I did many strength exercises like leg presses, leg extensions, and leg curls. I did get results in muscle size, but not that increase of speed.
So, I went to youtube and watched the Speed Challenge video and did the thigh flexor exercise and I found quick results in my 40 yard dash! This increase in speed in so little time amazed me!”
