Strength Training For Speed/Power Athletes

I have all of Charlie products and understand his philosophy on strength training for speed/power athletes. We all understand the traditional strength training setups - higher reps/lower intensity-3-1-3 max strength blocks etc.

For some time now I have eliminated all traditional max strength work from my athletes programs. I’m noticing better muscle quality, mobility, improved workouts on the track/field. Strength levels improved - I’m sure they would have been better with lower reps/higher weights. We spent more of our time in the 8-10 zone with sometime in the 6 zone but never below. Athletes in the 28-35yr old bracket are having great results.

Maybe you should give it a try.
