Power vs Endurance

Training/Jens: Endurance training can decrease your max power, as high levels of lactid acid break down your muscles. This means you can become weaker after getting a burning pump from an endurance session.

Never start a training session by doing very hard endurance exercises. Better to start off with some power drills and switch to endurance later. The best way is to divide your training into sessions or even periods.

There is almost no limit of how hard you can train power - as long as you don't get pumped. Endurance training can be counter-productive if you push yourself too hard.  If you are not around 80% recovered after 10 minutes rest, your muscles are at risk of losing performance...
