I’m a blind man that’s combined a couple templates. I didn’t reinvent the wheel. There’s nothing new about any of these concepts. They’ve all been used before. I wanted to work a clean progression into a strength program. The goal here is to develop more power in an effort to run a faster 10yd dash and 40yd dash. I don’t know how things will work out as far as fatigue is concerned. From the stuff I’ve read sounds like a lot of newbs think they can throw some shit together and end up burning themselves out right away. I’ll see what happens and adjust accordingly. If it all hits the fan I will have only wasted four weeks of training. Besides, it’s not like I’m a competitive athlete and need to be prepared for something. I just like to work out and wanted to experiment with writing something of my own stuff and see how it works for me. In addition most articles on tnation don’t pertain to improving sprint performance.
