What is best for explosive power?

Olympic lifts are NOt the best lift for sports! YOu must work your posterior chain group of muscles. Hamstring, glutes, spinal erectors ect... Dead lifts, good mornings and glute ham raises will make you the fastest. Go do some research on louie Simmons and Dave tate from West side barbell with what they've come up with.

And what sport did you think good mornings and glute ham raises came from ... Olympic lifting.

Nebraska lifting or western periodization is a thing of the past. Acomidating resitance is the way to go. I wish I was smarter so I could explain it better.

Well if that's true, who's using it and winning anything?

Well it's getting late so why don't you post a link showing what your talking about because you have a couple teams on your list that I know use Olympic lifting and an adapted version of periodization.

I agree with Princeton that WSB is an excellent routine for an athlete looking for all around hypertrophy, speed, strength, power, and conditioning.

I also think that oly lifts are very beneficial.

I don't see why people are making this an "either, or" argument. My philosophy is DO EVERYTHING. Leave no stone unturned.

It's very easy to incorporate oly's into a basic WSB split. Do some snatches or cleans after your speed squats on DE sq/dl day.

I'm glad to see this thread got back to training, and not flaming.

Exactly slobberknocker... why not use "A" for one goal, and "B" to complement that goal?! If they both work in a limited scope, use them for that limited scope and keep racking up the gains!
