One of the best ways to improve athletic performance is by performing 'power training.' As the name suggests, power training is a technique that maximizes your muscular power and combines speed and strength. To help you get started, we’ve rounded up some of the best power training exercises to build muscle power and burn fat in the process.
Before we dive in, let's discuss muscular power. 'Muscular power is different from strength,' stresses Domenic Angelino, CPT from the International Personal Trainer Academy . 'Think of strength like the total amount of force you produce during a rep. Think of power the rate you produce force during a rep. So, if you move more quickly while producing the same amount of force, your power goes up.
Power training revolves around developing explosiveness, or moving your body with speed. It typically involves jumping, such as strong hip drives or squat jumps, as you would do in a push press or power clean, explains Amanda Capritto, a certified personal trainer and functional training specialist with PTPioneer.com.
Bend your knees, press your hips back, and bring your arms back as you descend into a partial squat. Land in a slight squat position.
