Hey Carl
I wouldn't mind your opinion on a training program that the AIS put together for the Aus UWH team back in 1990. The program focused on developing power (strength + speed).

For each strength excercise (eg bench press, shoulder press, etc) determine your max weight - what weight you can lift once.

Then do sets of 5 reps at 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and then 3 sets reducing the weight but doing the action faster (yet still controlled) at 80%, 70%, 60% of that max weight.

If I recall correctly, they said that this routine won't build bulk, but power instead.
