There is , you have very little risk of interference for things like speed and power strength . You have a little bit of a risk only because now you're introducing fatigue , which if you're really pushing strength that might compromise your recovery , uh I could imagine doing the 3 to 5 routine for strength or for power and then somebody finishing up with um , 10 or 15 minutes of hypertrophy arm work and then being very seriously compromised if they try to come in the next day or even the next day and do those big compound movements for speed and power , not just because they're sore , but the muscles may actually still be damaged . And I know later we're gonna talk about the um , somewhat tenuous relationship between soreness and recovery .

And if you're trying to do all that at maximum speed , your nervous system needs to be tremendously fresh . And so any amount of fatigue here is only going to compromise results um to kind of recap that uh one of the major mistakes when training for strength and especially power is people worry way too much about fatigue . Those things should not be part of the equation .

You wanna do these at the beginning of your workout , you would not want to do anything fatiguing before this . So , no cardiovascular training , no other uh repetition to fail your stuff . If you do those before and now you're slower , all you've done is practice getting slower and , and so these need to be done when you're fresh , you also need to do them when you're very fresh because they are the most neurologically demanding .

So because that everything driving power and strength is quality based . You wanna do these at the beginning of your workout , you would not want to do anything fatiguing before this . So , no cardiovascular training , no other uh repetition to fail your stuff .

It really depends on your recovery . If you're really truly pushing maximum strength , you probably do need a few days to recover , although that's dependent upon you , but speed and power can be done multiple times a day , almost every day . Basically .
