When I lift heavy on lower body dominant lifts (Squats, Cleans, Snatches), I always follow up with a high intensity low volume sprint of some sort. I do this about twice a week.
For example, 70 yards sprints on the minute for 10 minutes at 90% intensity. I also do the same thing with bleachers.
I loathe running distance, but the high intensity stuff actually carries over into my lifts. I believe it helps with explosiveness. The high intensity stuff seems to work better for me. I've noticed that I stay leaner without losing strength like I did with endurance training.
