Intermdiate with Speed Programming Question
Hi Andy, I am an intermediate lifter (exhausted linear progression several months ago) and am trying to organize my current routine (have been working on it for several weeks).
MAIN QUESTION: I have never programmed speed work before and am wondering if my setup (essentially westside based) is reasonable/too ambitious/has any holes. Thank you for your time.
