Intensity can mean different things depending on what we’re doing. In sprinting, intensity is typically tied to velocity. In the weight room, we often use it to describe the load on the bar. And in everyday conversation, people usually just mean effort. But when I’m coaching speed and explosiveness, I’m also thinking about the athlete’s ability to produce a very high output on demand. So to me, intensity is a skill A new athlete may physically possess more speed, more force, or a bigger jump than they know how to express. They have to learn how to accelerate aggressively, how to attack a jump with enough intent to really displace their com, and how to recruit and coordinate enough force to push through a heavy lift. That requires focus from the athlete, but it also requires the right program. If I want maximal outputs, I have to protect them. The program needs to manage fatigue, keep quality high, give enough recovery between efforts, and continue to build the physical qualities that allow those outputs to rise. So intensity isn’t just randomly working harder. It’s something the athlete learns to produce, and something the program has to learn to harness. Maximum Output is out now. This is where my programming currently is. I just finished running this with a great group of athletes and the results were better than I anticipated. The beginning of the ebook walks through exactly how the programming has evolved since Speed Kills, what I changed, and why. Maximum Output is eight weeks of brand new programming, and the early bird price is available through Friday. If Speed Kills showed you how I thought about speed programming then, Maximum Output shows you where that process has taken me now. #explosivetraining #plyometrics #plyometricstraining #sprinttraining #speedtraining
