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.
