What’s everyone’s favorite exercise for building explosive power?
It’s important to remember that power is comprised of two basic components speed and strength. As such an explosive power movement is performed at high speeds and a lot of force.
My favorite explosive exercise when I was much younger and performing Olympic style lifts was the split jerk. Love, love, love, that lift. Obviously, that is not for everyone.
We all know that exercise programming must be specific to the individual’s need and that the person performing explosive power movements must have really good base conditioning.
Thank you for your question.
