This video discusses explosive training: how to train for explosive strength, so that you can run faster, jump higher and punch harder!
The takeways are as follows:
* Improving explosive strength is primarily a matter of increasing recruitment of fast twitch muscle fiber.
* As well as converting type 2a muscle fiber to type 2x
* We can do this by training with plyometric movements
* As well as by lifting heavy weights - ideally 90% of our 1RM - the muscle fiber does not differentiate between speed and resistance. Both amount to 'force'.
* However, it turns out that using eccentric training may also be very useful. This allows you to effective 'load' the muscle by elongating it and thereby storing energy.
* You can train eccentric explosively - by 'landing' and absorbing impact. This can also be used to immediately return greater force - as with a depth jump.
* Stretching the antagonist muscles can also help to reduce resistance, thereby allowing faster movement
* And why not try training the first portion of the movement with partial reps?
