Explosive Lifting at 60–75% 1RM

Use moderate-to-heavy loads, typically around 60–75% of one-rep max, and move each rep as fast as possible while keeping the motion controlled. Keep explosive sets away from failure so you can preserve bar speed and power output, which helps train explosiveness for sprinting, jumping, throwing, and other power tasks.

“For generating explosiveness and speed, it's very clear that learning to generate forces quickly and to move heavy or moderately heavy loads quickly is going to be beneficial. And so what this would involve is something like 60 to 75% of a one repetition maximum, and then in a controlled way, moving that as quickly as one can throughout the entire set.”
