Training for POWER | Are We Really Using the Best Methods?

We all want to feel powerful when we climb, and we often train with specific intent to increase it. The problem is that although power is a performance metric, we struggle to build training that actually directly addresses it.

Power, as defined in sport science is strength applied at speed. If we built it as a formula, it would be strength x speed, and measures of power greatly increase if we increase strength at a fixed speed, or speed at a fixed load.

We can’t really “train power,” but rather must train strength or speed in order to increase power.

In this video Steve dives into the science and his thoughts on how to better approach power training.
