Power Training for Strength and Speed

1. As your explosive-strength increases so will your absolute strength. Granted, not in the proportions a powerlifter is looking for, but plenty for a speed-power athlete. For instance, if your relative peak power output is at 74% AW 1RM then your explosive strength wave would be with 94 and 74 appropriated weight. That in and unto itself will push up your absolute strength. And, again, as you think through this problem you will realize that when your relative power output rises to that level THAT is precisely when you need to push up your absolute strenght, not before. So the system does it for you.
