When you double down on compressive exercises like barbell deadlifts and squats...you will get stronger.

However, when you live there for a long time, you will start to lose the ability to produce high velocity movement. 

Now don't get me wrong, it's impressive to see guys squatting and deadlifting huge loads.

But I can tell you from personal experience in college track that the strongest guys in the weight room are rarely the fastest athletes on the team. 

There are many ways to improve high velocity movements that don't involve chasing heavier and heavier loads!
