    Is it possible to build size, strength, and speed at once?

    I'm looking to build all 3 and maxamize my bodies efficiency.
    My rep scheme is usually pyramid. I also do Yoga and IF. IF has been fantastic for recovery and have not lost any strength doing it (even been gaining some). I always listen to my body. If I'm too tired and sore, I will not workout.

    Sunday: Legs
    Back Squat, rep scheme of 5-8
    Sumo Deadlift (medium weight).
    Calves

    Monday: Off

    Tuesday: Shoulder/light chest/ cleans
    Push Press
    Power Cleans
    Bench Press (light)
    Rear delt flies

    Wednesday: Deadlift
    Standard Deadlift
    Front Squats (very light)

    Thursday: Chest/shoulders
    Incline Dumbbells
    Flat Bench
    Military Press
    Rear delt flies
    Dips(light)

    Friday: legs/cleans ---- might take day off depending on feel
    Calves
    Power Cleans
    Back Squats (very light)


    Saturday: Back
    BB Row
    T-Bar Row
    DB shruggs
    Upright Row

    Good for size/strength ... what are you doing for speed tho ? How about jogging with a weight vest ...
    Also, I wouldn't always listen to me body.... Most of the time it's like a lazy kid that needs forced discipline.

    Add plyo for speed, and you're set.

    If you want add some power in your training, like 1-3 reps with a decent heavy weight that is tough but you get good fast bar speed on (compound lifts only)

    As stated above, keep compounds at a low rep scheme with heavy @$$ weight. Add plyos and sprints for speed training.
    I would advise against jogging in a weighted vest bc of the added stress on the knees
    Current 1RM's:
    Squat:335
    Bench:205
    Deadlift:425

    Current Stack
    -Cellucor Whey Cinnamon Swirl
    -Creatine Mono
    -Jack3d (Original Formula)
    -Xtend
    -Multi
    -Fish Oil

    I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
    -Phil. 4:13
