The Simple Guide to Speed Training - By Kelly Baggett

I’m thinking about doing this program, but I have a few questions.
It says nothing about upperbody days (unless I missed that). How should I go about planning that?
It also suggest practising your sprint starts, but if I’m doing this for sport performance, is my sprint start really necessary?
Thanks for the help
with the sprint starts, those are for sprinters. for athletes you will want to work on your first step. so not really sprint starts from blocks or a mountain climber stance, but standing like a wide receiver type start or a basketball defensive stance and trying to get to full speed as quick as possible. also, sprinting, back pedaling or sliding and changing directions will help.
what sport do you play?
i knew i forgot something. do whatever you want for upper body days. i normally do defranco’s westside or robertsons designer athlete for upper body. i like both a lot.
Thanks for the help
My sport is lacrosse.
Another question, if on some weeks I can only get to the gym 3 times, should I do 2 lower days and 1 upper day, 1 lower and 1 upper and 1 fullbody, or 3 fullbody workouts?

personally i would do 2 lower body because i am more concerned with that right now and i think that will help me more than getting a stronger upper body. if your really lacking strength everywhere i’d say go with 3 full body. hopefully you can get some others to answer this though cuz i dont know what would really be optimal.
