When it comes to the workouts that Christian McCaffrey does, it’s not just about burning calories. His big achievement is to improve his speed so that he can improve his game out on the field. He is training more like a track athlete so that he continue his streak of being a powerful running back. There are muscle groups that only certain exercises can help to make a difference in and the dead lift is one of them. It’s actually a very important one.
Key Takeaways:
- McCaffrey is giddy with the results, claiming he “absolutely” feels faster now than when he entered the league.
- He came up a gym rat who trained for hours on end, determined not to allow anyone to work longer or harder than himself.
- His program includes 3-4 intense days a week, with a couple of those days containing both a track session and a lifting session.
