– Powerlifting: Requires more than just strength, it demands explosive power. – Explosive Power: The ability to generate force quickly at the start and throughout the lift. – Speed-Strength: Combines initial force with acceleration, a vital element for success. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!
– Dedicated day focusing on the dynamic method: Using submaximal weights (50-60% of 1RM) lifted with maximal speed. – Dynamic Method: Trains the body to produce force quickly, mimicking competition demands. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!
– Dr. Ben Tabachnik: Athletes adapt to repetitive exercises, hindering progress. – Westside's Approach:Pendulum Wave: Uses varying intensities (50%, 55%, 60% 1RM) across three weeks to prevent adaptation. Variable Resistance: Adds chains or bands for a more dynamic lift, mimicking competition conditions and engaging different muscle groups. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!
