As part of my Post-Baccalaureate program at Bridgewater State College, I completed coursework related to a wide variety of physical activities, and as part of the my efforts to increase my knowledge of resistance training, especially in regard to sports, I picked up the book Explosive Lifting for Sports by Harvey Newton. It’s a great resource for using resistance training to increase your effectiveness in other areas.
The book begins with a basic overview of the terms and ideas, and clearly defines and differentiates between strength and power, and describes techniques for training for each. It also explores weightlifting and plyometrics, and gives ways to combine them for better results.
