Daily CSCS Question #9
A strength coach programs the following in-season superset for collegiate soccer athletes:
- A1: Back squat — 4 × 4 @ 87.5% 1RM
- A2: 30-m sprints — 1 rep max effort (timed)
- Rest: 2–3 minutes between paired sets
After several weeks, sprint times progressively worsen across the session, while squat performance remains stable. The coach wants to maintain maximal strength adaptations without sacrificing sprint quality.
Which adjustment is MOST appropriate?
Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded.
From Chapters 17 and 19
A. Increase rest intervals between paired sets to 5 minutes
B. Move sprint training to a separate session later in the day or separate day
C. Increase sprint volume to one rep per set
