High-Intent Strength and Power Reps
During strength, speed, or power training, try to move each rep as explosively as possible rather than just completing the lift. Even if the bar or implement does not actually move faster, that high-intent effort improves neural drive and helps develop strength and speed more effectively than casual execution.

“The intent to move is actually more important than the actual movement velocity... it's not going to generate as much speed development as them trying to move that bar as fast as they can.”
