This training goal focuses on getting faster while<br />
building muscle. Speed-specific hypertrophy should<br />
focus on frequently programmed, high intensity<br />
isometrics (recruitment focused) mixed with power<br />
training and speed training leading into peaking<br />
periods. Non-speed specific hypertrophy (such as<br />
upper body muscle for 'leg speed' athletes) can<br />
follow more traditional upper body hypertrophy<br />
methods performed alongside power/speed phases.<br />

Upper body size/strength + explosive glutes<br />
and hips = Big & Fast<br />
Generally speaking, collision sport athletes that are looking for explosiveness and size want<br />
upper body size/strength and powerful/explosive hips and legs. Increased CSA in legs can<br />
interfere with mobility, particularly during the back-side action of the leg recovery phase; this<br />
will reduce the acceleration of the leg (and hence force production) by preventing the leg lever<br />
shortening fully (heel to glute) – a longer lever is slower to move. Therefore upper body<br />
training can focus on the hypertrophy/strength end of the size and speed continuum, while<br />
lower body focuses on the power/explosiveness end of the size and speed continuum. Ideally<br />
you don’t want upper body size and strength work to interfere with recovery or performance of<br />
speed work. Examples of speed work include sprints, sled work, hill sprints, footwork/’fastfeet’,<br />
sport-specific drills, plyometrics, isometrics and RFD exercises. Speed-specific<br />
hypertrophy work includes functional HISD isometrics, long duration isometrics. Non-speed<br />
specific hypertrophy includes traditional higher rep weight lifting, long duration isometrics and<br />
blood flow training (‘pump’ sets).<br />

WORKOUT A<br />
FREQUENT Contains priority power training elements;<br />
trained frequently<br />
POWER / RATE Neuro-muscular input is ‘peak power’ or<br />
maximal velocity/rate<br />
REPS Set duration is either 0-9secs, or 10 – 25secs<br />
SETS Set number depends on desired fatigue/recovery time<br />
(autoregulation), and power outcome focus (performance<br />
vs. capacity)<br />
FOCUS Should be max effort (performance), measured by<br />
load/time/reps or technique drop off<br />
WORKOUT B (Strength-Speed)<br />
INFREQUENT Contains conjugate power training elements;<br />
trained infrequently<br />
SUSTAINED Neuro-muscular input is sustained contraction<br />
REPS Set duration is either 0-9secs, or 10 – 25secs<br />
SETS Set number depends on desired fatigue/recovery time<br />
(autoregulation) - should be greater fatigue protocol than<br />
