Strength without control will only ever be so useful. If you need to use momentum to get past sticking points, or if you only feel strong at certain positions within the ROM, then there's only so much you will be able to do with that strength.
This is what happens when you focus purely on max strength and explosiveness. If you want to be able to control the weight - to manipulate it and demonstrate real mastery over it - then you need to slow things down and really challenge yourself in those weakest positions.
How does this work? How is it that we're stronger or weaker at specific angles - given the "all-or-nothing" nature of muscle fibre activation? It comes down to several things: including the architecture of the muscle and pennation angle, as well as the optimum muscle length. I go into it in more depth in the video.
Training slowly allows you to properly challenge every angle. But it also means challenging the slow twitch fibres. And THIS is important, because slow twitch fibre is what enables you to make refined adjustments to your power output. Adding smaller motor units lets you control *precisely* how much force you want to exert. Instead of big, erratic, unwieldy movements, you develop "strength finesse."
And then there are all the other benefits of training the slow twitch fibres. Like greater size - even greater power.
So, what do you guys think? Do you train fast and slow? Will you now?
