Max strength Cycles- whats their TRUE role?

I don’t want to start another thread, so I’m going to use this one.

Would strength gained while not sprinting at the time in a sense be wasted from a speed perspective? Since strength gains are obviously limited.

Edit: I was messing with the forum settings to display older threads, didn’t notice this was one of them. I’d still appreciate an answer.

I don’t think so and, in fact, max strength blocks are often initiated during an injury period to partially make up for the loss of CNS stimulus during the absence of intense sprinting. This was done successfully with Ben during a serious injury in 1988.
