The secret sauce for explosive power.
Contrast training is one of the most effective ways to bridge the gap between strength and explosive speed and power. By pairing heavy back squats with a box jump, we tap into Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP). This "primes" your nervous system to recruit more high threshold motor units, making that bodyweight jump feel lighter and more explosive.
