The Importance of Power Training :

For too long power training has been the domain of Olympic Lifters and elite sportsmen. Even many top level athletes are directed away from weight training because in the belief it will slow them down. Many boxers are misinformed that weight training will cause them to add bulk which will either slow them down or play havoc with remaining in a particular weight division.


Runners are also told weight training leads to slower muscle contractions and greater bulk which will reduce their times as they haul ass around a middle to long distance race. Whilst these suggestions can be true, it is only in the case of bad programming using 1970's bodybuilding programs which are indeed counter productive in the sports arena. A properly designed resistance training program is in fact critical to optimising potential and achieving almost any goal. Here is why power training should feature in every program:

👉 Runners.
👉 Fat Loss.
👉 Muscle Building.
