Well, as an enhanced lifter this kinda seems obvious to me. Inject mtren preworkout? All brakes are off and bar speed is improved by a good 10% on 70/80% efforts, lower than that and I basically teleport the bar upwards. This comes from the CNS stimulation and adrenline sensitivity brought on by the drug, which eases more efficent and faster motor unit recruitment. Lose the mtren and I need to really warmup and channel insane aggression in a lift to get the same power expression. That's also why numbers from tested outliers are si close to enhanced ones with the only difference being mostly lean body mass/fat ratio as strength from aas is an instant percentile boost, but otherwise can be developed, albeit slower due to longer recovery and thus less overall tonnage, by natural athletes as well. That's why on cruise I tend to go lighter on big lifts and focus more on athletic movements, like sprints/jump squats/box jumps and mobility like yoga to cover my bases and be less one dimensional. It's fun to be a hefty dude, but man it sucked being winded all the time due to sucky cardio. Also feel free to point out where I'm bullshitting, as I have no actual qualification and mostly accumulated knowledge through reading.

Checkout some of Louie Simmons work. I believe it's using something like 35%-45% of 1RM and doing high sets of 1-3 reps with a focus on speed. Those numbers may be slightly off but close. Give it a look if they don't get back to you.

This was my priority during my athletic career. As a pseudo endurance athlete I didn't want to have much mass, so I focused on explosive strength training. It changed my long game and I wasn't weighed down. (I also do an explosive endurance sport, so it made sense).

In rock climbing we have a term for this. We call it “contact strength,” which is the ability to reach maximum power very quickly while starting at 0 force. For example, how long it takes for a climber to reach maximum power upon their fingers contacting the wall would be a measurement of contact strength, and it is considered a measurement of neurological connectivity more so than muscular strength. I think it’s interesting that the same concept exists in different disciplines and if training methods for contact strength in climbing can be applied to powerlifting.

Plyos improve your ability to generate high amounts of force quickly. The neurological adaptations you make with this style of training will improve your ability to access your strength on maximal lifts.

You are 100% absolutely right but this is what you might no know because you dint explained. Ok chimpanzees and big primates like gorillas have 70% fast twich muscle wish is type 2 and 30 % slow muscle fiber, wish is type 1 Humans are opposite, human has 70% slow ( muscle fiber or type 1 and 30 % twist muscle fiber. Here's the game. Type 1 muscle fiber is what gives us the resistance to run long distance and also they give stamina to do many reps. This are the muscles that a body builder train to develop and get big. Primates use type 2 muscle, (fast twich) to lift real heavy loads in a burst of speed. You can certainly change your muscle type by training like you are doing, that's why you feel stronger. I am a scientific researcher but also have train bodybuilders. I have them do this explosive lift in any type of exercise to get stronger and be able to lift more weight and make his type 1 bigger. If someone knows how to train muscle 2 and he is doing steroids, he would not get big but he could be stronger and faster than 2 man, will beat the bodybuilder in a heartbeat. I want to do an experiment with someone who would like to be as strong as a gorilla. In order to be stronger you need to lift heavy loads real fast with explosive force, I wish I could train you.

Push fast as you lift 3rd day 5x3... 85% of 1 rep max This got me out of a plateu i was stuck in for months. Strength increase was steady. Id try my 1 rep max every 2 weeks or so before my explosive sets, just adding 5 lbs each time. Those explosive days i felt like i didnt do much because of the lower weight and reps, but it was just right. I experimented increasing sets or weight and saw it hindered progress. I would need more recovery time and it interfered with the next bench day. I concluded it was better to Just stick to the program. Regarding increasing the load you work with: as your 1 rep max increases, recalculate your working weight according to the listed percentages. I havent tried this training format with other muscle groups, but i reckon it would work too. I recall a calisthenics channel, idr the channel name... the guys name is Daniel... His recommendation on achieving muscle ups was like this: do sets of about 3 reps of explosive pullups. First aim to reach your chin to the bar 2 aim for chest touching the bar 3 aim for mid torso reaching the bar 4 belly touching the bar I also remember a vid that associated explosive exercises to working the fast twitch muscles. So if you train both ways you train both types of muscle? I havent really looked into this, but its worth considering.
