  Hey there Paul!
  Been reading this thread you got here for about 4 days or so and let me tell you some typical advices.
  First of all, plan a target. Set a goal and start training towards that goal.
  Are you planning on going to national or local races?
  What races are you going to race on? 200m? 500m? 1km? 4km? 10km? keirin? madison? indiv tt? elimination? scratch?
  Second, try to do or find out what others do and try to fit that in your weekly program. Its definately has to do with age, weight, dna and numerous other facts but its worth testing everything you see or hear. Also make sure your correctly placed on your bicycle. Saddle height, saddle angle and saddle position on seat post
  Third, I am not sure how these workouts work for you, you should increase cycling and reduce weights to see if you got better results.
  If your body gets muscular and stiff you are unable to perform 180 cadence at rollers for 30 seconds.
  Fourth, why use 48x14? Try softer gear like 48x16 or 17.
  Sprints is about getting your legs rolling in maximum cadence with max speed. I suggest you warm up with a realy soft gear so your legs warmup right and then do the sprinting parts you gotta do with a bit heavier gear like 50x15 or 49x14, check the cadence and speed and when you get about 65-70km max speed for 12 days in a row, put 1t heavier chainring up front and try to reach that speed again.

  Fifth, I suppose your eating protein shakes or spinach or salmon or brown rice or anything that has to do with recovery of the muscles along with a 10 minute recovery workout.

  I am writting a lot, i know but please quote me on every issue and let me know whats your sayin or work on those aspects

  PS. Oh and about those bont t-one track shoes, they are really good, better than any other shoe in the market right now and if you buy them dont wear them too long, because they are only made for sprint events and your legs will have serious problems (i know from exp)

  If I may...

  why would being muscular make you stiff and unable to pedal quickly?

  if you do sprint training for 12 days in a row I am guessing you would be very fatigued not needing to up the gear!

  Tripe that Bonts will hurt your legs unless of course you have set the shoe plates up wrong rf the shoes don't fit you properly. the base of the track shoes is identical to the road shoes half the pros are now using at the Tour.

  The warm up part and the goal setting first is good advice though

  gearing should be an entire thread by its self and yes 3 times a week in the gym is a bit excessive unless you are dealing with some remedial issues. Otherwise 1-2 sessions a week depending on age is enough for any sprinter.

  just my 2 cents

  They are very tight to get in and out of if turned up correctly. That is just how you are, most riders hit there heel to bash the show out.
