Classic sit ups not bio-mechanicly relevent?

Charlie, I own the video and I have applied it multiple times with very satisfying results. It is hard as hell, especially the lumbar exercises (I don’t seem to adapt to them). How do you fit it in the training plan of high-level sprinters (so reduced GPP with respect to what presented in the GPP video) ? I remember you said that 3 rounds would be approximately 50 minutes, so a good option would be tempo days during the short GPP phase of high level sprinters, am I right?
I remember also that in another thread you said that you trained a hockey player (in off-season) who never lifted weights before by using as strenght exercise only med-ball exercises. So only medball exercises as shown in the video plus explosive med ball throws? Was the sequence (extensive + explosive) like the one you showed in the med ball video?

This was done on tempo days- tough but still not high intensity.
The hockey player did as you say but was extremely strong and when he tried weights with one of his teammates, considered one of the top conditioned weight trained players, he was able to beat him in his weights workout.
Funnily, when two NHL guys were working with me and Scott (video) was coming out at the same time in the AM, they started complaining: “We won’t have to work with him will we?” (They’d seen him work out before!).
Another funny story. The med ball guy was doing a punishing big circuit on a very hot day and after he was done, an old lady sitting on a bench nearby called him over and said: “They aren’t paying you enough!” He replied: “Thanks mam, you’re the first person to ever say that to me!”
