When you train for power and use strategies to keep the number of repetitions low, lift light weights fast, and move quickly. It increases your muscle ability without massing you up.
Try doing plyometrics, speed-strength sets, and complex sets: They develop power no matter where you are and can be pursued simple training tools like power racks, agility ladders, kettlebells, sandbags, adjustable plyometric boxes, weighted vests, medicine balls, training sleds and power cables.
Please refer to the blog for more details on this activity.
Try doing overspeed training: Try doing cycling, running, or swimming at a very high pace. High speed utilizes more muscle tissues than it does in training at lower speeds. Speed training trains our brain to react faster and power our muscles more effectively at higher speeds.
During speed training don't take load more than 10% of your body weight. Otherwise it will restrict your neuromuscular power.
Include brief low-volume work like swimming, low-pace biking or run after a high-pace cycling workout. By any means, you cannot exhaust yourself metabolically. Recover yourself after a overspeed training by doing something where you have no muscle burn or have to breathe hard.
It is not challenging if you are not forced to think hard during an overspeed training. It is overspeed when you have to constantly think and control your muscles to move really fast – tiring your nerves. If riding a bike at 90rpm is high speed for you, try riding it at 120rpm now.
You need to eat three best things that would be best for your nervous system – foods rich in omega-3 fatty acid, amino acid, and vitamin B-complex vitamin.
