Great stuff from Thib
1. Athletes should always try to generate as much force as possible when they're lifting a weight. In other words, they should not only lift the load, but attempt to impart as much acceleration to it as possible.
As the load becomes heavy or fatigue sets in, the actual speed of movement will decrease. However, the intent and effort to accelerate is as effective as the actual acceleration of the load when it comes to stimulating muscular and neural adaptations.
2. Athletes should not only develop their strength in concentric/lifting/accelerating movements, but also in eccentric/lowering/braking and isometric/static/stopping actions.
3. Athletes can maximize force production potential by working on the muscular, reflexive, and elastic factors involved in force production. The higher the force produced, the more high-threshold motor units are recruited and the more growth/strength gains can be stimulated.
Sounds like HS to me. I know I can already hear "but the weight is too light to produce the power."
However, the intent and effort to accelerate is as effective as the actual acceleration of the load when it comes to stimulating muscular and neural adaptations.
INTENT, yup that says it all for me.

I always try to remember that when I deadlift. I'm not so good at that with benching, but I'm trying.
I just mumble on the platform "Accelerate the bar, accelerate the bar, accelerate the bar." It looks hella weird to see someone talk to themselves on the platform!
LOL. Actually it probably doesn't!!
it DOES sound like Hardstyle kettlebells to me too! What the 'it's too light for produce power crowd forgets" doesnt know or doesnt want to look at, is that the fatigue produced my the OVERALL SET is what you are looking for.
when wsb guys do 12 sets of 2 off the box, each rep is a weight they could do 6-8 with, its the TOTALITY of fatigue that accumulates by keeping rest periods down,accomodating resistance( in this case contined downward force and physically tensing all the lower body muscles on hip snap)and compensatory acceleration will increase ones abilty to produce power.
ESPECIALLY for the average person.
If you factor the fatigue aspect in it makes all the difference.
do sets of 10 in the swing with as much force as you can. THe first set the nubmers will be way higher and the perceived exertion way lower than on the 15th set.ESPECIALLY in you compress rest periods.
Just watched Liddell Ortiz fight( not sure which one) but I was struck but how strong and powerful liddell was compared to tito.
Liddell was caught against the fence and just EXPLODED out AS he elbowed tito. just EXPLODED. That is mostly innate but that quality CAN BE TRAINED. And Hardstyle does it.Just like in CHucks martial art of choice, Kenpo Karate.
Exactly Rif, I don't have the education to phrase what I know to be true. The more sustained speed reps you can pack into a given time frame the more powerfull you'll be.
"The more sustained speed reps you can pack into a given time frame the more powerfull you'll be. '
That says it perfectly.
