Anyone got any ideas/exercises for improving "explosiveness" as in like running sprints?

Sounds like an excuse to me.. train harder

Go on lots of long bike rides and buy a skipping rope for easy-to-do cardio. I like having a pair of 5/10ib weights sitting at home too because there are an infinite number of exercises to do with light dumbells. Eat avocados along with other healthy fats, and drink a lot of water. Some other stuff I find convenient to eat at home: canned tuna, yogurt, peanut butter sandwiches, cut up vegetables, bananas, grapefruits, nuts. Easy stuff to incorporate into a busy lifestyle

First post in this thread.. but ever since I started forcing myself to regularly do deadlifts and squats (front/back holds) the results have been amazing. Going to start doing upright and bent over rows soon as well which should be tough as hell. Olympic bar exercises are my new favourite as they seem to work your core a ton, combined with my usual cardio routine (which prevents from gaining too much muscle mass - swimming, running, biking) i've never felt better.
