MNMR- Movement
Power In today's Movement post- I want to give some pointers on how to start incorporating some low level POWER work into your training routines. Everyone knows the benefits of conditioning and strength work, but a piece that often gets left out is power. Power can be defined as "work per unit of time" in Science and Practice of Strength Training. Another way to think of it is expressing force development in an explosive manner. To achieve this- we have to blend strength a
MNMR- MOVEMENT
Today is all about MOVEMENT, specifically the benefits associated with being aerobically fit.

MNMR Monday- Nutrition Now, before I start let me just say I am obviously no nutritionist or dietician, so don't hold your breathe for anything astounding in terms of hidden gems.

High Level Athletes, Power, and How It All Relates to You
In this article I detail a few different aspects of power. First I talk about what the force-velocity curve is, the benefits of training based on the curve, and how to train all along the spectrum.

Finally I relate all of this back to how incorporating power into an everyday person's program will benefit them. This article was originally posted on my buddy Jesse McMeekin's site
