Conversion to Power In this phase, you build on the strength developed in phase 1 with training that will increase your ability to move
a load at high velocity.

Instead of asking small connective tissues to stabilize heavy
loads overhead, often being received
at high velocities, why not build better movement patterns and serious structural strength by using some of the exercises below?
For example, when comparing constant
load (free weight) and constant resistance (pneumatic machine) bench presses, the constant resistance bench presses involve
higher peak
velocities, because they allow greater acceleration
at the start of the movement (Frost et al. 2008).
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.
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).
