2 questions:

1.Doesn't making most exercises unilateral go against the general vs. specific idea?
2.Do you think that a max strength phase has any benefits for an intermediate or advanced athlete or is it completely unecesary?

i guess i'll answer...

1. bss/lunge/stepup are still 'general'.. they arent very specific imo.. but i do think a mix of bilateral/unilateral is optimal.

2. i think it definitely has its place.. hypertrophy / higher volume phases can really affect RFD negatively, so, you're going to want to reduce alot of that volume & utilize higher intensity weights to peak your explosiveness.. just putting on muscle isn't going to PR you most of the time, you're going to need to go into low volume/high intensity phases to get that muscle firing at peak levels.

peace
