I am 169cm tall. On a good day. I have played basketball for the majority of my life and I have always wanted to dunk the basketball. Today, I am going to push my limits and see how far I can go. Or in this case, how high I can jump.
In this step, I want to increase my work capacity as much as possible so that I can take on a larger volume of work without getting injured easily.
Although muscle size is correlated to muscle strength, it is not trained the same way. In order to maximise for muscle strength, I need to push for max weight with low reps.
Muscle strength doesn’t equate into muscle power. The difference is the amount of time elapsed. A better term to use is explosivesness. Plyometrics would be a good way to go about training for this.
