"True education occurs when passion and curiosity intersect. Serious questions surface, recognizing I know that I don't know. That is when knowledge has a chance to emerge!"
--JIM WOODS, M.ED
Remarkably, too many athletes and coaches believe specific resistance weight training for significant increases in speed are not possible. Most think strength and power lifting imply the same thing, produce similar results, and are the primary source of resistance weight training for increases in speed and power.
The science says "That's not true!" The 62 page Dynamic Force Speed Training System Manual illustrates how resistance weight training first for speed, increases power, strength, flexibility and size. It also demonstrates how strength and power are not the same and how to train for each.
