Ben Johnson Squat 1rm?

Does this suggest sprinters, who I think would like to be fast twitch dominant, should use higher loads (i.e.85% and above)?

This is what CP suggests (from what i have read). To do so, you might still do say 30reps total workout in say bench, you just break it up more, ie, 10 sets of 3 instead of 3 sets of 10.

I think it is mixing apples and orange to suggest Ben is slow twitch. FT effect on this measurement could be overcome by very high level of SE, as Charlie suggested. I’m not sure Polequin’s cuttoff took into account athletes with such a high level of endurance.

CP normally tries to target more Elite level, or higher level guys than he does with beginners. Surely though, even though CP’s guys dont do SE running, surely they push hard on these weights, creating a WEights SE effect over time?

Therefore - how do we read the results from such a position? Perhaps they have the Fast twitch / Slow twitch back to front??

I dont doubt that however, the results that one can get from training to your strengths, ie, should you train high or low reps depending on your 85% rep base for guys looking to get bigger and stronger. How though, does it apply to sprinting?
