Two athletes can squat the same weight, but the one who can produce force faster is the one who often jumps higher, accelerates faster and wins the play.
RFD determines how quickly force can be expressed. And in sprinting, ground contact times often occur within 80–200
After posting the footage of Brian Oldfield racing Olympic hurdler/sprinter Lacey O’Neal, I figured this was an even better comparison.

Here’s a breakdown of some velocity guidelines for common weightlifting exercises.
If you want to see the actual loads, sets, reps, and progressions we use to develop strength, speed, and power, it’s all outlined in Speed Kills. My best selling 8 week program/ebook, used by
