Why I Sprint & Jump AFTER Heavy Squats (Even Though It's BACKWARDS!) || Advanced Concepts #2

Advanced Concepts #2! Should you perform explosive work (such as sprinting, jumping, Olympic lifts, etc.) before or after you do your lower body strength work on exercises such as squats and pulls?

The traditional advice when it comes to sequencing explosive work and strength work goes something like this: explosive work should be done very first thing when you're the freshest and sharpest and then strength work should follow it. So for example a typical sequencing would go something like...

-Unloaded explosive' work to lead things off. So here is where you would put the jumps and sprints and things of that nature
-Then you would move into loaded explosive work. So now it's things like weighted jumps, Olympic lifts, and kettlebell swings
-Then you finish with strength work. So this is the heavier, slower moving exercises like your squats or your pulls.

This is the traditional, typical way that is recommended to sequence these exercises. And in general its pretty solid advice! But its not set in stone and there are certainly instances where you may want to tweak the order of operations here. In today's video I explain several scenarios where it may actually be more productive for you in the long term to reverse the order of the sequencing here (do it backwards!) and put the the heavy work FIRST and the explosive work SECOND in order to achieve maximal results. Welcome to Advanced Concepts #2!
