Well its not an eat science, i hear you. I dont dislike you plan at all, in fact the NSCA reccomends something pretty simular…From my coaches experiences with his jumpers over the years he says 3-4x6 at 75% has worked best, and i beleive he has tried many variations…But to each his own…

dude its not possible at all i dont care who u r to explode and keep bar speed high when during 6reps.
If its all about bar speed, why dont you lift 45lbs…!!!
but it isnt all about bar speed is it…and do you think that if you squat to 120 degrees with 75% 6 times in 10 seconds that that is fast or slow? what do you think ?

u r the one always talking about power development in the weightroom i chose to development power on the track and develop strength in the weight room. "For power development which is the main focus during this time, 5-6 reps in fine as long as the percentage is right…If the volume and intensity is too low then the training effect will be minimul (sp)" to develop the kind of power u trying to develop, its not going to done with 4x6x75, try 6x2x40-65%.
During the comp cycle, power is developed during jumping, plyos, lighter med balls, speed work AND the weight room, not just the weight room. All i know is guys that have jumped 8.27m, 8.26m and woman who have jumped 6.90m have used this program and it works…
and when i jump 7.80m this year you can tell me i developed power wrong.
I was just putting out there another tried and tested system, i didnt say anything you said was wrong. Like i said this isnt an exact science.

Not boasting at all….but 7.54m from 16 strides and i havent even started to peak yet adds up. You figure it out.
I will never not stick by my coach and im very sure his credentials are superior to many.
My thing is this, if i can add any info that might help someone and that isnt something i've just made up (because im not a coach) who are you to tell me its wrong. This site is to help people and give people ideas and training knowledge. Im a pretty good athlete with a great coach behind me and have just a much right to help people as you.

ok dude stick to the topic or dont post in thread. thanks.
UT,
If you like triples, do triples, just about anything will work.
I said I can maintain with 2x5, but I could also maintain with 3x4, or 4x3, or 4 or 5x2 etc, or any combination.
It is more about getting the feel of the movement and the right amount of work.
You find that 5 reps feels like high rep on squats? I can see that for OL, but 5 reps is one of my best strength dev sets for squats or deads (8 weeks out down to 4 weeks before comp).

thats weird i have found that most of my beginner respond really well to 5's but more advance athletes more 1-3.
Something that hasn't been mentioned is "effort distribution". You guys talk about it alot for running say 200m, but not for reps of weights.
There are many ways of doing 5 reps and the training effect can be different.
For maintenance training if I was doing 2x5, on the first set I might drive out of the bottom strongly, to feel that I can accel the weight when I want to, but then shut it down and coast to the top.
For the second set I might just do very mechanical even paced reps. You can do different types of reps in the same set.
This is different than during peaking when there will be huge focus, tension, and exploding all the way through.
The sets can be very different even though on paper it is still 2x5 or whatever.
I found that triples peak my lifts really quickly, but it goes stale quicker. I used to use 5's until about week 4, then use 3's and finally 2's. I couldn't use 3's for too long.
I can use them if I follow a controlled % type scheme with multiple sets, but I peak way better from really low volume and huge intensity when peaking. Some of my best peaking squat (and dead) workouts were 1x5 (doesn't sound like much of a workout).
