Maximal strength and the athletic benefits
Hi Rip,
How does linear progression on sets of 5 across 3 sets affect strength endurance and general athletic ability?
For example, what would be the effect of an increased squat on my sprinting and distance running? Will an increase in bodyweight as per the program compromise any athletic attributes such as general conditioning and strength to bodyweight ratio?
Consider a boxer that competes in a given weight class. When he moves up in terms of bodyweight and strength is he likely to be less strong and athletic than someone who naturally sits in the class above?
