But, I don't think this would be good for a beginner - at least not a true beginner. Too advanced. If someone just starting out tried this, they'd be sore beyond belief. And why wouldn't it be good for a football player? If you read the literature on power development, you produce the most power around 60% of max while performing 6-10 reps at a high rate of speed. Looks like most of this does that, supplemented with lighter and heavier loads in between. I think it's a great power development routine - football players included. @Build Muscle,

I would be interested to see someone's results from following this program. I can see how you have incorporate Louie Simmons' max effort and dynamic effort principles while also extending the program to be proactive against muscle imbalance and postural deficiency. Cressey and Robertson are definitely worth studying, not sure about that third guy - I can see how you have been influenced by T-Mag or T-Nation or whatever they call themselves now. IMO, this would be a great program for a beginner who wants to learn the ins and outs of speed-strength training for say a high school sports team, but probably not for football. I would like to see more Olympic power clean, snatch, deadlift type lifts for a football program. Thanks for the interesting read. This is a decent program.

A lower percentage load is used when you are performing high reps for muscular endurance or for low reps and high speed in an attempt to develop muscular speed.
