Very good points, the main reason why I like TB lifting is it makes tempo days very short usually 60mins and I’m done for the day. Last year I didn’t have much motivation to attend weight workouts and the TB setup was great because I only had to see the weight room two days per week.
Depends on your strength levels and what the workouts are like. If you are doing heavy singles and doubles AND you’re strong… you might have some issues. If you are doing normal workouts and lifting within your limits, you shouldn’t have issues with that set-up IMO. I think upper on tempo days is just an easy way to implement things. It isn’t necessarily better/worse than any other set-up as it is about how you implement it. It can be convenient though if you do tempo + bench + finish off with GS/BB circuit. Also, after a sprint session and doing cleans/squats/other assistance, I don’t have that much energy left and since I am going to be having a day very easy or off after the upper lifting anyway, I don’t see too much of an issue in spreading out the work a bit.
There is a coach on this board that has a lot of success going speed+upper, tempo+lower, rest/very easy, repeat. In the end, it is how you distribute the workloads. You could alternate lifting and sprinting daily (like CF’s GPP) if the set-up was designed for it…
