In other words, high - velocity (light load) training produces
greater gains in strength at high speeds than at low speeds, as indeed many studies have reported for many decades (e.g. Coyle et al. 1981).
The principle of a continuum from strength - to - endurance states that lifting heavy weights leads to
greater gains in strength, while lifting light weights leads to greater gains in muscular endurance.
Therefore, it is feasible that the heavier loads that can be used during training under stable conditions might lead to
greater gains in strength through these factors, although such strength might only be demonstrated under the very stable conditions used in training, because of the inability to control the application of force under less stable conditions.
For example, partial range of motion exercises produce
greater gains in strength at partial ranges of motion than at full ranges of motion.
The greater gains in strength - to - size that result from an increase in specific tension are not reflected in improvements in muscle power, because the reduction in contractile velocity counteracts the effects of the increased muscle fiber force (Erskine et al. 2011).
Although increased neural drive is believed to contribute to
the greater gains in strength after training with heavy loads compared to after training with lighter loads, it is unlikely that this would benefit sprinting ability.
As one paper said, «Ingesting more protein than necessary to maintain protein balance during training (e.g., > 1.8 g / kg / d) does not promote
greater gains in strength or fat - free mass.
There is good evidence that high velocity isokinetic training leads to
greater gains in strength when tested at high isokinetic velocities (Moffroid & Whipple, 1970; Caiozzo et al. 1981; Coyle et al. 1981; Jenkins et al. 1984; Garnica, 1986; Thomeé et al. 1987; Petersen et al. 1989; Bell et al. 1989; Ewing Jr et al. 1990), but it does not always happen (Farthing & Chilibeck, 2003).
To prepare athletes for sport, are most interested in whether we can produce
greater gains in strength at high velocities, by training using fast bar speeds.
There is good evidence that high velocity isokinetic training leads to
greater gains in strength when tested at high isokinetic velocities, and there is weaker evidence that the same effect occurs after constant load training.
Although increased neural drive is believed to contribute to
the greater gains in strength after training with heavy loads compared to after training with lighter loads, it is unclear to what extent that this would benefit COD ability.
Research shows that most protein synthesis takes place with faster protein absorption, which leads to
greater gains in strength and size.
This translates to higher - quality training sessions and, assuming proper recovery,
greater gains in strength and fitness (and all of the energy, body composition and performance gains that come with it).
As you can see, adequate hydration helps you get the most out of a strength - training workout and may, ultimately, help you make
greater gains in strength and muscle size.
Why does the addition of high rep training — training that has been conventionally viewed as endurance training — to a traditional low rep program produce
greater gains in strength than a low rep program only?
Many studies have shown that high velocity isokinetic training leads to
greater gains in strength when tested at high isokinetic velocities (Moffroid & Whipple, 1970; Caiozzo et al. 1981; Coyle et al. 1981; Jenkins et al. 1984; Garnica, 1986; Thomeé et al. 1987; Petersen et al. 1989; Bell et al. 1989; Ewing Jr et al. 1990), although this is not always true (Farthing & Chilibeck, 2003).
This would then explain why eccentric training tends to produce
greater gains in strength overall, because eccentric training typically involves greater absolute loads (as well as more muscle damage).
Training with heavier loads (whether eccentric or concentric) leads to
greater gains in strength than training with moderate (Schoenfeld et al. 2016) or light (Schoenfeld et al. 2015) loads, even when volume loads are not matched.
Supplementing with creatine allows the muscles to store more of this high - energy molecule to provide
greater gains in strength and muscle.
Following a 10 - week intense training program, resistance - trained men who supplemented with whey protein isolate had significantly
greater gains in strength and lean body mass, and a decrease in body fat, compared to the group that supplemented with casein.
A similar study in 2005 found that milk protein (a combination of whey and casein) combined with a 12 week training program led to
greater gains in strength and hypertrophy than a soy based protein (25).
In addition,
this greater gain in strength occurs despite similar hypertrophy, which suggests that specific tension has also increased.
(I've never seen such
great gains in strength and muscle as I'm seeing now) I sleep plenty.
Similarly, if we train using a slow speed, we should see
the greatest gains in strength when we test strength at a low velocity, and the smallest gains in strength when we test at a high velocity.
If the principle of specificity applies to velocity, then when we train using a fast speed, we should see
the greatest gains in strength when we test strength at a high velocity, and the smallest gains in strength when we test at a low velocity.
Yet, both training programs displayed velocity - specific strength gains, with
the greatest gains in strength being at the highest velocities.
