Max Strength:
1RM Squat, 1RM Bench
Ex: Max Effort Day
Strength-Speed
Ex: 5RM load Squat, Box Squat 85% 1RM concentric as fast as possible
Power Typically, Olympic Lifts/ loaded jump squats
Speed-Strength Dynamic Effort Ex: 50% 1RM Squat Fast
Speed Vertical Jump, baseball throw, sprinting

The force velocity curve is tremendously useful when making devisions about programming resistance training and programming speed and plyometric training.
Speed Strength is often associated with Dynamic Effort Training. Moving lighter weight quickly typically with higher volume and lower intensity than traditional resistance training programming.
Dynamic effort with higher loads may also be considered by some to fit into the strength speed but typically something like a 5RM-8RM is too slow to be considered dynamic effort.

You never fail me! Straight to the point and visual examples

[@Dinosaurwarlock]

Best explanations about movement on the internet.

[@prosenjitization]

I love your videos..Your relate the concepts very well to application...Keep on loading

[@SilenceInTheBliss]

Very easy to understand. Thank you.

[@MisterFunnyboy1110]

exactly what i needed

[@TheMovementSystem]

Great!

[@liftlabperformance]

Can you do a video on how to define and understand the formulas on pp 27-29 on the CSCS textbook? I struggle to understand these terms, having never had experience with physics or the mathematical equations being used. Very hard for me to understand.

[@Limbaugh_]

It should be a mass/velocity curve, since if you accelerate a light weight very fast it takes a lot of force.

[@CoachVarna]

F=m*a

[@redarachi3621]

Thanks شكرا

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome

[@jamesspella8548]

How would volitionally controlled rep speed fit in here? If one were to use a 4 second concentric/4 second eccentric or Superslow/ Renex training protocol?

[@EdLatimore1]

Shouldn't it be "force/acceleration" curve?? That's not an insignificant difference...

[@namitgupta1488]

But in the initial part of the race dont we need maximal force to get an explosive start , so wouldn't be max strength training useful for sprinters ?

[@prosenjitization]

Hello...Just couldn't understand the last section when you are explaining the shifting of the curve. Is it making a curve more like "C"..Please confirm or any image will work

[@drbonesshow1]

What about Max Headroom?

[@rohitrana6175]

Hey Matt, Rohit this side, as I am Strength and Conditioning Coach working with professional cricket players. I problem is that these athletes are beginners athletes in regards of strength and conditioning aspects , they do not have basic foundation of strength movements , they do not know regarding the basic movements regarding the fundamentals movements of strength , So , as a Strength and Conditioning Coach what I will do to enhance performance of these players during in season of the game . From where i have to start the periodisation , on which aspect should I work with these athletes. Please help me out with this query .

[@drbonesshow1]

The problem with trainers and athletes when they see these curves is that they fail to realize maximum effort training will without a doubt increase the power for speed activities as Power = Force x Velocity.

[@Limbaugh_]

The labeling just isn’t good it should probably be a mass/velocity curve

[@Messup7654]

@@Limbaugh_ I mean force is the main part of it mass isn’t force you don’t create mass and not does it create power

[@ervin9320]

Hey. Could you possibly make a video on “program design and technique for speed and agility training”? The chapter makes no sense to me. Thank you

[@TheMovementSystem]

I have an hour long in-depth video on it in the Study Course! the-movement-system.mykajabi.com/strength-and-conditioning-study-course-sales-page

[@ervin9320]

Thank you. The $147 payment is for a 1 month course?

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@ervin9320 The course is self-paced. You pay once and get access to all the videos, notes, quizzes, etc. to complete at your pace.

[@ervin9320]

Gotcha! Thank you! Will definitely look into it.

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@ervin9320 Cool let me know if you have any questions

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

2:26 you mention 8 x 3 with 50 % load and moving the bar quickly. Did you mean 3 x 8 ?

[@user-zk4dv2nx8k]

No , speed strength is done like that only .

[@mohammedsamy687]

according to newton law force = mass x velocity ÷ time how it when the force increase the velocity decrease!!!! i cant understand why the relationship between force and velocity is opposite!

[@SergeiPetrov]

But this is not the whole curve. There is no eccentric muscle stretch on the graph.

[@nene1852]

This has been the worst part of the book i couldnt understand so ty so much for ur videos Im doing nasm but how u explain is su mich beter than there boring videos!

[@andrewbaldwin2531]

Sounds like you are saying force and load are the same. Personally, I consider them to be the different.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Force= mass X acceleration. If you are doing the lift on earth acceleration is 9.8m/s^2. Therefore Force is directly proportional to mass.

[@andrewbaldwin2531]

@@TheMovementSystem are you saying velocity is the same as acceleration? Besides the force velocity curve is base a single sarcomere. I think its wrong to apply it as universal principle to exercises.

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@andrewbaldwin2531 No velocity is not the same as acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity. What's really important though is how this applies to athletes and what this is really telling us is that to maximize force we need to load heavy but if we want to express power then we need to decrease load and even though force will be lower the power will be higher.

[@andrewbaldwin2531]

@@TheMovementSystem i dont understand why you need a heavy weight to maximise force. You said f= m x a, therefore you can maximise force through high acceleration kind of bringing me back to the original point that load and force are differant. Snatch grf can be 3500 while powerlifting squats are about the same showing the force velocity curve is not hyperbolic.

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@andrewbaldwin2531 Theoretically yes you could but we tend to see a tradeoff in sport movements in the real world between heavy loading slowing the movement down but producing maximal force and slightly lower weights allowing for faster speed and more power output.
