Why Strong Doesn't Mean Fast For Fighters

For fighters, strong doesn't mean fast. Although strength is the foundation of speed, the human body responds differently to various weight training loads & speeds.

Yes, to become a faster, more explosive fighter you must first become stronger – produce more force... If you can create more force, you can accelerate quicker, hit at higher velocity and do more damage. That’s the mechanics, but we’re biological machines not purely mechanical ones.

If we want our strength to transfer into the greatest striking power and speed possible, we must target the right kind of training, get it in the right order, and make the most efficient use of your training time too.

In this episode we’ll dig into how training with different levels of resistance and movement speeds will affect how fast you can really be.
