ViPR PRO® 30-Day Workout Program

Dead Strength is about overcoming resting inertia. It is body’s ability to produce force with minimal or no contribution from the elastic components of connective tissue.

A dead strength movement begins from a stationary position with no initial motion (i.e. ‘dead’ positions).

Power is the ability to rapidly generate high levels of force (rapid change in inertia) in a specific movement pattern. In other words, create a “violent” action. Power drills may be broken down into Accelerations (this is where the muscles ‘act’ through a nervous system action potential, which facilitates an adaptation in quick signalling transmission of a nerve impulse), then to Decelerations (this is where the muscles ‘get acted upon’ in response to an eccentric load. Both motor and neural coordination must be present for success in deceleration, thus making this an important progression)
