Suspender Sprinter
Description
The suspender sprinter mimics the sprinter drive position using suspension straps. With handles held at chest level, you lean forward and explosively drive each knee up at high speed. The drill builds sprint mechanics and conditioning while the straps provide a fixed reference for the forward lean.
