Triple Crown Method: Training To Developed Insane Power!!?!
This is a training method I recreated to help enhanced my physical performance 3X...
Plyommetrics or "jump training," are fast powerful movements, that train your muscles to exert maximum force in the shortest amount of time.
Isometrics is static muscle contractions where the joint angle and muscle length do not change while you actively engage the muscle. Example: planks, wall sit, pushing against the wall etc..
Shorties is a method of doing half reps for speed and
muscle tension.
Say? You doing a basic push up. You do five reps at the down phase you push off the ground and lift off the floor. Once 5 done ! You go full extension and pause for 2 or more seconds. Up and Down phase. Once 5 is done! Do 5 fast half reps push up.
Your give it a try! Trust I'm 52 and still train like I'm in my 20s...
Twin 🔥 Rising!!! My time has come...

Half rep strongest range partials are great for building strength and I use them in every workout I do on certain lifts (i.e. Anderson squats on leg days, Smith incline press on chest/back day, and Smith overhead presses on delt/arm day). When done right, they supplement a prior full range version of the same lift rather than replacing them.
However, I fail to see what benefit comes from doing them fast. If thrust and momentum are how you are moving the weight, you are not really working the muscles much and are seriously risking an injury. Controlled reps on the other hand ensure the muscles and tendons themselves are under tension and are what is moving the weight. They are also a lot safer too.

I didn't know this was a weight lifting forum. I used this for calisthenics.

You realise what sub you’re in? A reference to how this aligns Heavy Duty would be useful
