@johnnyboy1998 This might be helpful. The nine physiological adaptations to exercise. Skill/technique - moving better, better positions, precise timing sequence, more efficient movement. Speed - moving at higher velocity or rate of acceleration. Power - speed x force. Force - aka strength...

@johnnyboy1998 If your goal is explosiveness, train explosively. It’s called the principal of specificity. This is commonly called power training (force x velocity ), you want to train few reps per set. The goal is to move as quickly as possible. Force might be the first thing to go, or it...

@sampaul Which is why with power training the reps are kept low and you do not go to failure. Think plyometrics and jumping and hang cleans and snatches. Power training weighted pull-ups is like doing now jumps with a vest. It’s not the best idea. Try one or the other. The principle of...

@archercrebb He’ll get better at moving a heavy weight slower by moving a heavy weight slower. That’s not a bad thing and has carryover. If his main priority is “athleticism and explosiveness,” he should train explosively. There is a reason basketball player don’t train like power lifters...

@dawn16 Force/strength refers to the ability to overcome resistance, while power/explosiveness refers to the ability to overcome resistance quickly/in the shortest period of time. Power {(Force × Distance) ÷ Time} represents the product of strength and speed of movement expressed in Watts...

@audiotech They each have carry over to the other but the principle of specificity controls. OP does not want to get jacked. His main priority is explosiveness and athleticism. If the above is true, he should do the opposite of what you recommend. He should train for explosiveness and not...

@chasrismatic101 He has a lot of belly fat after working out for 6 months and eating in a surplus. He needs to eat less.

@iron2iron Way less. It’s really hard to lose meaningful muscle when you are fat, even more so with little muscle to begin with.
