True Speed Performance

Coach
Mike Hart

Level 1 - TSP Strength focuses on building a base of strength in both bilateral and unilateral settings.  Our goal is to build in the 80-90% intensity range to maximize sub-maximal strength and begin the transition to power in Level 2.  If you understand the force-velocity curve, then you will be working in the "strength-speed" intensity of training.  Level 1 can be repeated and the movements can be changed as well.  For instance, if you would like to use a front squat or safety bar squat for a back squat, you can make that change and receive a similar stimulus/response.  

There comes a time in training when athletes are "strong enough" in the sports that they play.  At this point, certain qualities need to hold a greater degree of focus such as speed and power.  If you still lack a great deal of strength and stability in the different movements or patterns inside the weight room, then strength needs to be a priority with speed and power being more of a secondary or supplementary focus.  Therefore, repeat Level 1 until you feel its time to transition to more power or speed in your training.
