Bigger,stronger,faster....revisited...

Ok,I feel the need to get "sciency" and clear a few things up.Moving a given load as quickly as possible will increase the training effect on a neuromuscular basis.This type of explosive training may increase the ability to fire motor units briefly at high rates and increase the effective loading on a muscle,but only during the acceleration portion of the lift.After this,the loading is reduced b/c of momentum.Improvements in maximal strength and muscular hypertrophy using this method of training normally take place to a lesser degree than those induced by high resistence strength training.

It isn't meant to be done by itself, it's meant to be done with maximal effort days. for example, you want to increase your deadlift...

Monday - deadlift, compensatory acceleration training (8x2, 60% max)

Thursday - deadlift, maximal effort (3x3, not to failure with 90-95% max)

You can tweak this of course, but that's the basic idea.

*** Where would the change in acceleration to momentum begin a lift?

Depending on the loading parameters,acceleration will become momentum about 1/3 -1/2 way through the lift.This is of course with traditional explosive training where lower weights are used for a specific purpose.Obviously we can try to explode a one rep max up as fast as possible,but in reality the weight will move slowly and no momentum will become involved.
