Power!!!

Hi Everyone, This weeks discussion is all about Power!!! According to Physics, Power is the rate at which work is performed. In the realm of Category Five Fitness, it is expressed most profoundly during the Olympic Lifts, which require one to move a load in an explosive manner. For you newer trainee’s, you should recall me telling you to “explode” the weight up over the past week. This “exploding” action will cause the weight being used to move much faster, which equates to more Power being used. This increase in Power will shorten the duration of the work which means a shorter time in which to complete a workout. Same workout, less time, equals more Power being used which equals less time spent in misery. In regards to athletic events, what this means is that the more powerful athlete is more likely to consistently win a certain event as he/she is able to instantly apply much more force, much more quickly than their opponent. If the opponent is strong but can’t quickly apply that force, than they will lose. Next time you walk into the weight-room, ask yourself this question. “Would you rather be strong or Powerful?”
