Velocity Loss Thresholds: Hypertrophy vs Power Outcomes

A head-to-head synthesis of 10%, 20%, and 30% velocity loss thresholds — which produces more power, which builds more muscle, and where they overlap.

How to Train Explosive Hip Extension: An 8-Week Protocol for Bigger Jumps and Faster Pulls

Untrained lifters average 1,800 N/s of hip RFD; elite jumpers exceed 4,500. This 8-week, IMU protocol targets the 20-30% gain behind explosive jumps.

Why Static Stretching Before Lifting Is Bad: Research Proves It

Static stretching before a lift isn't neutral. Behm's meta-analysis found it cuts strength by 5.5% and power by 1.9%; see the VBT-measured velocity drop.

How to Add 10 cm to Your Vertical Jump in 12 Weeks: A Science-Based Program

Adding 10 cm is not luck, it is sequencing: max strength, rate of force development, then reactive strength, over 12 structured weeks.
