Will these 3 leg excercises make me a faster runner… ?

I got to the gym every day and every wednsday I work my ches and legs…

I play football a lot with my friends and I am the fastest one there. But I want to be even faster.

When I do legs
1st is quads. I do this macine where I sit in this chair and lift the bar with weights kick up (I’m at 40lbs 4 sets of 10) with my feet it works my quads.

For the 2nd one I work my hamstrings. You lay face down and lift the bar with the back of your feet you kick towards your butt (I’m on 40lbs on this also 4 sets of 10)

3rd is the calf work out. You put your sholders under these 2 pads that go right to each shoulder. Lift with your shoulders than you go flat foot to tippy toes and works the calfs… (I’m on 100lbs 4 sets of 10)

Will this make me run faster… if not what will.

I don’t do squats or lunges because I don’t have a partner to spot me.

they should help, be sure to keep stretching and stay flexible

also you should work on your fast twitch muscles by doing things such as the speed ladder….just something involving quick feet

and just run, long distance, it gives the muscles a chance to loosen up

you don’t need anybody to spot you with lunges
You should still squat even if nobody is spotting you, just use a lighter weight and do more reps. Try not to avoid those two workouts because they are key in developing leg muscles and improving your running abilities.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
