Starting Power Training Based on Strength Level
The decision to start power training like dynamic effort work or plyometrics is not dependent on reaching a specific strength level. Instead, one should consider their current strength and skill level to determine the complexity and intensity of exercises. A 2-year-old child transitioning from crawling to walking can engage in basic power movements without strict strength requirements, while a weak 12-year-old going through puberty should avoid high-intensity exercises to prevent injury. There is no set rule like squatting 1.5 times body weight before starting power training; rather, one should focus on progressively challenging exercises based on individual capabilities.
