Hi Paul -
I like your list - have a question though - what will doing 8-12 reps at 60% but lifting at maximum speed do for you ?
Risk connective tissue injuries.
There is a school of thought that empasizes speed lifting as a way of maximizing power. But then I was never heavily involved in sports that required maximal full body power/speed moves such as football, shot put, discuss, etc.
Varying the pace of lift is another tool in the training arsenal but, imo, when you are practically throwing the weight around, then you are lifting too fast. But the training should match the sport. Here is a helpful site that can help to explain in better words than I can.
