Speed work at full speed or above full speed (overspeed) or at max effort taxes the CNS heavily. Up there with speed work is plyometrics.
Now lifting is CNS intensive, not as taxing as speed work or plyos, but still up there. Most taxing lift is probably the deadlift.
You require 48 hours to recover following anything which stimulates the CNS. Therefore speed work/plyos should be done once every 48 hours at max.
Something good to know, is that you CAN lift on same days as plyos and speed. Yes you will get biggest, faster and stronger and WONT overtrain by doing all three in the same day.
Good order is plyos first in speed session warm up (20 touches max) then sprints, then lifting. You can even do full body and we fine.
Most important thing is that the next day should be either light volume extensive tempo or rest, now if you were to simply do this every other day, you'd eventually overtrain so the odd day off is needed, but for the most part 2-3 days a week of training like that is perfectly ok.
