Looking for you're opinions on my workout plan for over the summer, goals are to increase vertical / speed + gain as much lean mass as possible
Currently 6' ft, ~170lbs
Current Lifts (Last set of my current 12,10,8 workout except DL which i do 5x5) are Bench = 155X8 Squat = 210x8 DL= 270x5
Monday - Chest + Biceps + Core (Bench press, Flys, Incline DB press, BB curls, Hammer curls, concentration curls, russian twists, weighted decline situps)
Sprinting - Endurance Day
Tuesday - Plyometrics (Box jumps, squat jumps, bounding etc) OR track workout
Sprinting - Speed day (only done if no plyometrics)
Wednesday- Rest
Sprinting - Recovery Day
Thursday - Shoulders + Legs + triceps + core (Squat, Goblet Squat, hamstring curl, calf raises, DB skullcrushes, DB tricep extensions, Tricep Pushdown, medicine ball work for core)
Sprinting - Speed endurance day
Friday - Yoga (horrible flexibility / helps with 2 pulled hamstrings i had)
Sprinting - Vertical Work
Saturday - Back + traps (Deadlift, Lat pulldown, DB 1arm rows, DB shrugs)
Sprinting - Form Day
Sunday - Off
Sprinting - Off
Diet - Macros are 40/40/20 Carb / Protein/ fat 4-4.5k cals total
Supplements - Whey / Fish oil / Multi
Looks very solid...however you need MORE core work. Core is where you will get a lot of explosive power from...so make sure to hit core at least 2x per week, but more likely 3x.
Lastly, diet looks good, but just make sure to get the 30-40g sugar PWO (strength workouts) with lean protein and avoid fats at that meal. Other than that, keep the fats in order (at least 2:1 unsat to sat fat ratio).
Also ensure you have a mineral ratio of 1 sodium to 2 potassium to 1 magnesium to 1 calcium (example: 2g sodium, 4g potassium, 2g magnesium, 2g calcium)
