5/9/25 - Maximal strength is the well that you draw your power from

The larger the well the more potential you have to develop power. So for the sake of long term development it is important to really put a premium on building up your leg strength significantly beyond where it is now.

Once you have built up that base of leg strength it is very easy to maintain so at that point you can shift the majority of your focus onto more speed and power based exercises for more of your training time as your potential to make progress with those exercises will then be much higher.

For example, if you want to jump higher then you need to be able to generate a lot of force and you need to be able to generate that force very quickly. But if you can't generate a lot of force absent time constraints...well then you definitely can't generate a lot of force WITH a time constraint.

At some point you will reach a point of diminishing returns in terms of maximal strength (as far as its transfer to power performance goes), but the majority of people (unless they are strength training veterans) are nowhere near that point.

Maximal strength is the well that you draw your power from. The larger the well the more potential you have to develop power.
