I noticed a few of you are doing these two workout programs and wanted to give you an idea of how you should use them and why I don't necessarily think these two are great programs for athletes to do...
Ok, if you guys are a long ways away from being in-season (ie Softball and Women's BB) I have no major issues using this for a little while and no longer than 15-20 minutes... After this long intensity drops to the point where you are just grinding gears and not making any real progress...
Second thing, these are WEIGHT LOSS programs... Not sport based, athletic enhancement programs... They are very general in nature and in a lot of instances break the body down into individual parts (back, bis, tri, etc)... This is not how your body is made to work and not how any athletic movement of any kind if performed so the transfer to your performance during a game will be ZERO...
Lastly, speed and power are both based on how strong you are... Hence, why we lift... Think of it as simple math... Force (Strength) X Distance = Work.... Work / Time = Power.... If I'm stronger and can express that strength over a longer distance and do it faster then my power goes up... After 300, 400, 500 reps or 15-20 minutes how much power are you actually generating? Not much and it starts to tap into you strength because you're not going to be able to move a big amount of weight for that amount of reps...
Little rant on my part, but only done to make you get better faster...
Throw any questions at me about this or anything else that you're wondering about... Just post them to comments...
