Sprint & Jump Specific Weight Training. How heavy should you go & combining weights and plyos

In this video coach John Shepherd (http://www.johnshepherdfitness.com/blog) answers a question asked by many: what weight should you lift to get the most benefit from your jump and sprint weight training. John was asked whether 30% of your 1RM was a suitable load. In the video John responds by mentioning the maximum strength methodology and how it's best to recruit optimum amounts of fast twitch muscle fibre. He also mentions some of the limitations with weights. The second part of the video takes a look at power-combination training - that's combining weights with plyos in the same session. The specific focus here is on what weight should be lifted to get the most from these sessions and also why they can be a great way to up jump and sprint power.
