Can we just get a brief recap of the general parameters for an excellent power and strength training program ? OK .
So modifiable variable number one is called choice . So which exercises do I select for strength in general for power or speed or strength ? We wanna select compound movements .
We go to the gym and we do things like I gotta make sure I get my chest today and I gotta make sure I get my hamstrings and now you're selecting exercises based on a muscle . You wanna work for strength development and power . We wanna think about movements rather than individual muscle groups .
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 .
Um The next one after that is volume and we sort of hit volume and intensity , which is the other one . We , we talked about that the volume is basically identical between power and strength . Um The , the general number we're gonna look at here is something like 3 to 20 sets total per workout per workout .
