Summary

On this episode of Barbell Shrugged, we’re diving into the keys for regaining speed and power—whether you’re coming off an injury, a long layoff, or just looking to level up your performance.

Speed and power are foundational for athleticism, and they require a smart approach to rebuild.

We’ll explore the science behind explosiveness, focusing on neural adaptations, muscle fiber recruitment, and how to maximize your fast-twitch capabilities.

We’ll break down the importance of proper recovery, which is often overlooked but critical for regaining speed.

You’ll learn about the best exercises to activate your central nervous system and enhance your power output, including plyometrics, sprints, and Olympic lifts.
