That squat in the beginning with over a thousand lbs was pretty damn explosive. This makes no sense what he's talking about here

[@jasonunddasgoldene]

Think a boxers jab or a sprinters start like explosiveness.

[@innocentram1800]

I think usable explosiveness is a better word. Think about it this way while on the way up heavy squat/dead/bench is very explosive however long brace and singular motion is not ideal for instantaneous explosion for sports. This training methodology is great for increasing raw power and setting a great base for explosive training.

[@teknoreaper9232]

explosive as in speed. if you tried to jump at the same speed you did a squat max, you wouldnt leave the ground. Athletes do training to not only have stronger muscle, but faster muscle. Powerlifters generally don't squat as fast as you would jump so its not good for training your vertical for example. Athletes do a lot of light weight or weightless plyometrics which helps build up speed from a still position to move faster, jump higher, and change directions quicker. I say all this as a powerlifter myself.

you're confusing maximal recruitment with rate of recruitment. Snatches for example are the most powerfull movement you can do despite the wr being a lot lighter than a squat yet their is a clear difference in power production

[@iielysiumx5811]

I’m a weightlifter who’s dabbled in powerlifting, If you wanna squat bench and deadlift more, do lots of squat bench and deadlift. Don’t do Olympic lifts, the skill acquisition requirement for those lifts is insane, you will spend months drilling technique so you can get enough weight on the bar to make them useful. In those months you’ve spent doing technique drills, know what you could been doing? Adding kilos to your SBD and increasing proficiency in those lifts that you actually want to get good at! Weightlifting training is fun, and it’s an amazing skill to learn, but if you just wanna SBD, don’t bother learning Olympic lifts

[@steverossen2816]

I’d say it’s generally safe to SBD hard whilst learning basic technique for Olympic lifts. Once you get proficient, it might be a decision of which path you want to pursue, but you might find you prefer Olympic lifts after all. I found I didn’t like them, but it’s still good to have.

Powerlifting is not the same thing as strength training. It's like comparing tennis to baseball just because the both swing at balls. It's not the same.

[@jameshughes1097]

To maximise speed and power your training needs to address both sides of the force velocity curve during training blocks. High weight low rep resistance training is the best way to increase one’s ability to produce maximal force (I.e the force side of the curve) and the other exercises he recommend are great for improving one’s rate of force production I.e (the velocity side of the curve). Both are required to optimise power.

You are correct, that is why the Chinese weightlifting team are so big on maximal pulls for the clean deadlift and snatch pull

Doesn't make sense. Powerlifting with high intensity trains effective recruitment of muscle fibers. You basically need it to be able to max out on a lift. And a lot of powerlifters do speed rep training too. The reason powerlifters don't look explosive when you see them is that they are moving high percentage of max weights, which is never fast. Is it for everyone? No. But muscle fiber recruitment is probably not the right argument.
