QUOTE OF THE DAY "Maximum strength is well preserved, but speed is not!

"Maximum strength is well preserved, but speed is not".
Anatoly Bondarchuk, Russian throws coach.

If you do not transfer the strength you have gained in the weightroom to speed, you won't run faster. It you do not train explosively in the weightroom, you will have a much harder time transferring that strength into speed on the field. Why get stronger if their is no speed emphasis placed on it. Even in Powerlifting, they have a dynamic (DE) squat and bench day. That should be the case in all sports where strength plays a role.
