@1Chiccone Expert commentary on topics with which you are unfamiliar is not appreciated. Most sports require "explosive strength" (actually power). Force applied times the average velocity approximates power ( P = F*d/t ). Olympic weightlifting uses power. Power is strength and speed. If training for power properly, ligaments, tendons and muscles become more injury resistant. Get a good coach if you are interested. This can be hard to do. Personal trainers generally will not cut it.

There is not such thing as "explosive strength", this is a made up word used to sell a dangerous idea to stupid people. There is positive, negative, and static strength. This Crossfit is an offshoot of Plyometrics which is another dangerous and stupid way of training for anything. The only time you want to move explosively is if your sport demands it. However, you should never move weights quickly or your body quickly, that is the easiest way to tear a ligament, muscle or tendon.

@iLuvHardStyle

Strength is a big part of being athletic and there are many types of strengths. Olympic lifters are one of the best athletes around in term of explosive strength.

Some skinny guy who does marathons in perfect time is not fit when it comes to strength and power

Athletes have to have maximal strength, power, endurance, agility...

Is this in Vancouver, Washington? Some of y'all look a bit familiar, are any of the people in this video in the Reserves, drilling at Fort Vancouver?

@MrBodybuilder100 Its called a compound movement. Instead of going from 10 regular pullups to 12 regular pullups, it will be 25 kip increased to 30+ kip pullups. What does the extra movement matter if you are going on 'The Overload Principal'? It is simply a matter of what you are training for. Something tells me big and strong is important to you. Well keep your regular pullups. If you want increased ROM and muscle performance over a longer period of time than the 45sec to do 6-12 reps, then...

@radiohasfailedusall haha yeah, they in my opinion are just as harder as normal ones and it works on getting the hips into for more explosion

[radiohasfailedusall]

@CxOxLxE haha i was thnkin it might be for higher reps or geared towards diff muscle groups but hell thats as good as reason as any,

@radiohasfailedusall its the way we do it
