How to Build Posterior Chain Power

In my opinion…power = force x velocity; therefore, if force can be improved without hurting velocity, I think it is beneficial.

Also, Coach Francis said that heavy weights are all general strength and have general effect on nervous system which is important for speed as well. I myself am still trying to figure out the exact relationship; where strength training benefits speed and where it’s too much and begin hurting speed.

I probably wouldn’t do a ton of assistance exercises that requires light weight (like one legged stuff) unless it’s clear limiting factor for an individual; I’d think some barbell hip thrust and RDL would be helpful. I am currently interested heavy kettlebell swings and feel like it’s faster, lighter version of RDL but slower, heavier than backwards MB throw.

I enjoy slapping on the weight for some rdl and hip thrusts. I think some of the stuff outlined in this article is probably decent to do during gpp/accumulation phase.

I like doing lifts that target the p chain. I will probably do a modified version of this during my gpp just to see how I respond.
