So I have read the Strongfirst Roadwork blog post and I love the explanation of the energy systems. My question is this: how much can you improve the alactic system? Does 10-30 seconds mean that a deconditioned athlete has about 10 seconds to use it and a high level athlete may be able to stay in the alactic system for the full 30 seconds? I do know they overlap each other also.
Could a lifter go from repeating a 95% effort with two minutes rest to replenishing his ATP faster (or having a bigger store) and repeat the same 95% effort twice in a minute once he has trained the alactic system more? Could he train it to last 45 seconds?
Thanks for any insight anyone can chime in with.
