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

Sprints are highly neuromuscularly fatiguing power movements, and back squats at 87.5% 1RM 4x4 are also high-intensity movements. They should be programmed separately. It would also be important to communicate with the soccer coach to determine how much sprinting they are getting in practice, so we can correctly program their overall volume.
