good look on the staley article eric. He makes some very good points that i had not thought about before. Being that I'm already realatively strong (RELATIVELY ) i think i should be focusing on speed strength durring my training sessions. Keeping in the 3 to 6 rep range for compounds, and being as explosive as possible.

The only part I really disagree with is his vision of overtraining in the dojo. I will agree that after hours of high intensity sparring or kata it is impossible to have great form. but that is not what is being trained at that point ... its heart/drive/determination. and those are just as important in martial arts as speed/strength/form.
