Training for Explosiveness and Speed
To enhance muscle explosiveness and speed, incorporating Olympic lifts like power clean and power snatch along with speed training using lighter weights for quick and explosive movements is crucial. Balancing traditional strength training with sets of Olympic lifts and speed training helps in building strength and explosiveness. Additionally, sled pushes and sprint training are recommended to improve speed and power. For jump training, focus on maximum effort box jumps with fewer reps for optimal force production.
