Exercises can be added or subtracted depending on what the goal of the workout is, but all of our speed/power days will be in this outlined form. If we were doing a maximum velocity day (pure speed) our plyos would change because we would want to perform vertical plyos. Our core workouts change daily depending on what types of exercises we used the day before.
