Weights for speed

[RB34]

@Charlie_Francis

Probably not but that’s an individual call.
As the squat involves muscles directly involved in speed, I’d rather see him start where he can handle it and move it up as it proves easy, rather than set a weight via a rule and find the loading an impediment elsewhere in training.
I would be more inclined to stick closer to that thinking with the upper body.
Thoughts?

Hello Charlie, is it ok to perform upper body work on tempo days in spp? I was thinking something along these lines:

Mon/Thur: Speed
Squats
Hypers complex

Tue/Fri: Tempo
Bench press
Db row
