For workouts that include slower movements (squats, hip lifts), fast lifts (Olympic) and plyos, what order do you guys recommend? What if agility/speed drills are added in?

I figure the slowest ones will be last…but I’m interested in how you all would order the drills, plyos and Olympic lifts (or whether you think it matters).

I would use the lifts that incorperate the most joints/muscles first in the workout. As far as speeds, I think the goal should be to move whatever weight you are lifting as fast as is possible.

This could be a very loaded question as if can really vary for the way I set it up. In general though, I typically use multi-joint explosive exercises (usually in the form of Olympic lifts) first followed by multi-joint strength lifts (squats and presses) and finish up with some assistance work. I ussually finish up wth an explosive movement too though this is rarely ever a weightlifting movement. Instead it’s ussually a multi-throw but sometimes it may even be a jump or a very light explosive lift (like snatches).
