Remember speed (maximal) must be developed through intensity. Unlike other physical qualities which can be developed through volume. Sub-qualities of speed are slightly different but your original...
Realized I haven't logged into here in ages, great to see the thread still going. *In the middle of a few big projects but will be checking in more often.
Great to see you on here after months of mentioning it to you. For those who don't know the name (which would probably be everyone ;)) Greg is probably the "best player never to player...

The best in the business do this, from All Blacks to Wallabies down to professional teams and club rugby. Nothing pointless about it. Work to rest ratio is 1:3, given you work. 3 sets of 10 is a...

There is no strong correlation between squats and 40m time. But it has been shown that there is a correlation between 10m time and relative squat strength (3RM/BW). Improving your 10m should...
It's probably too late now, but for the future the 24 hour carb load protocol devised at an West Australian University is more effective than several days. But remember carb loading is only really...
10-60m is good for speed development, but you should incorporate a variety of distances for conditioning (eg 20-400+). That is unless you are so slow it takes you 60-90 seconds to run 60m ;)
