Power comes from strength training. At the end of the day, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is walking around with a "V8 engine" (their muscle system) though barely firing on "4 cylinders" - not even a single person is truly utilizing their muscles to the extreme.
Your body actually keeps you from using all the strength of your muscles, as a safey mechanism. Your strength generally does not exceed 30% of your tendon structural strength. For instance, when people are electricuted their muscles often contract so hard that they break their bone structures.
For this reason, you can become A LOT stronger by learning how to "fire" more of your muscles and get them to tighten harder with more tension... if you just stick to these three rules for all-out strength training:
Rule #1: Focus On A Few Full Body Exercises
If you want your entire body to be on top form, just give attention to a limited full body exercises. Therefore, you should do it all as one unit. As well as you will find ideal hormone stimulation by training your whole body by way of this. Squats, Deadlifts, Overhead Press, and the Bench Press are perfect.
Second Rule: Give Attention To High Resistance
Your lifts should be performed with extreme resistance in order to produce strength. This is made by lifting weights (or performing body weight exercises with critical weight distribution and weak force) and by extremely contracting (tensing) your muscles as you lift.
The purpose is to gain extra muscle fibers by:
1. Pressuring each muscle as hard as possible during the exercise and...
2. At the same time sustaining high tension lifting the weight as rapid as possible.
Rule No. 3: Give Attention To Multiple Sets of Low Reps
Because strength is a skill you can't practice "sloppily". Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. So you must practice being strong. Each rep must be done as perfectly as possible (according to the above guidelines). Keep the reps low so you can stay mentally focused. Also, this will keep you from getting fatigued and getting sloppy. Avoid muscle failure.
To sum it all up: Lift as heavy as possible. As often as possible. While staying as fresh as possible. - 15438
