Just giving people a chance to discuss from a scientific point of view rather than get lost in vague mystical confusion.
Muscle strength and plyometrics are one aspect of explosive power.
What methods and mechanisms of your functional training capitalize specifically on elasticity of human biomechanics as a system?
Everybody talks muscle, but nobody wants to talk about TCMA use of elastic energy storage as a mechanism for temporal shift of energy transfer to generate higher peak power.
Half muscle, half tendons. Shhhhhh...
Yep.
Energy generated in the muscles, stored as potential energy in stretched assemblies, released in coordination with the rest of body motions.
I know all that. I lift weights too. But I'm...
"They noted that around half the throwing power comes not from muscles, but from ligaments and tendons around the shoulder, which stretch, store and then quickly release elastic energy."
Yeah, I know.
Just giving people a chance to argue.
After the arguing is done, then you all can post pics of scantily clad brunettes.
"Elastic energy is potential mechanical energy that animals store in tendons, ligaments, and muscles. When these structures are stretched they elongate like an elastic band. When the forces pulling...
are the key to elastic energy storage which evolved allowing humans to kill effectively from a distance.
Read these and see if you didn't already know this as principles from TCMA.
