Incorporating sprinting into strength training routine?

Lol, ok. Just wanted him to be aware he didn’t have to do them both on the same day.

this is the template i like when doing heavy max strength work for the lower body:

mon speed/upper
tue lower
wed tempo
thur speed/upper
fri lower
sat tempo

interesting … how long would you stay with that set-up tamfb

So pretty much although the principles Simmons uses for powerlifting are good, things such as box squats and the use of bands and chains are garbage when trying to develop speed?

3 weeks during my strength block then i will move to a 3 week power block. also each lifting session 30-45min.

CFTS would be a great start. everything should be based around your speed program.

For example in gpp you could lift similar to this:

Mon/fri:
back squats 3x8-10
bench press 3x8-10
Rdl 3x8-10
rows 3x8-10

Wed:
pc 12x2
db incline 3x10
rev hypers 3x10
pullups 3x10

Spp/max strength block:

Mon:
power clean 5x2x80-85%
back squats 4x3x80%
bench press 4x3x80%
rdl 3x5
rows 3x5

Thur:
hang clean 4x2x80%
Snatch dl 3x3x80%
lunge 2x5
incline press 3x3x80%
pullup 3x5

I’m curious as to how 2 or 3 reps at 80% is considered “max strength” training.

They’re not garbage just not necessary. Think what you need to get faster/better athlete. Do you need a whole lot more than traditional squatting, benching (probably don’t need this either) and sprinting?
