Training for Strength and Power
Using mini breaks during sets can help maintain quality, force output and power output during training sessions, making it an effective way to develop strength. It is recommended to stick to a repetition range of 30% to 70% of your one repetition maximum to effectively train for power, while being careful about the eccentric portion.
Clips
The best exercise choice for developing power is repetitions between 30 to 70% of your one repetition max.

Summary
The best exercise choice for developing power is repetitions between 30 to 70% of your one repetition max. Exercises like jump squats and Olympic lifts are pound for pound the most effective.

Eccentric overload training is an advanced technique that can be more effective for strength development compared to other methods, as it allows one to load at greater than 100% of their one repetition max and focus on the eccentric portion of the movement.

Summary
Eccentric overload training is an advanced technique that can be more effective for strength development compared to other methods, as it allows one to load at greater than 100% of their one repetition max and focus on the eccentric portion of the movement. However, caution must be taken with the eccentric portion to avoid injury.

Mini pause sets involve taking short breaks between each repetition during a set, allowing for higher quality, force output, and power output, and reducing fatigue.

Summary
Mini pause sets involve taking short breaks between each repetition during a set, allowing for higher quality, force output, and power output, and reducing fatigue. This technique is effective for strength, power, and hypertrophy training.
