What is power and why should you care? If you are an athlete, your ability to be powerful is often the crux of performance. Power is fundamental to performance because it directly impacts explosiveness, speed, and strength—all massively important components in most sports. Whether your focus is strength, speed or endurance sport, improving your power is a game changer to success.

So how do you build that? You know if you want to build stronger legs, you squat. If you want better coordination, you work on your agility. But what should be the training focus for improved power? Take your pick at any of the exercises below and get good at them. And if you need help, head over to the peak strength app where we take the guesswork out of it for you.

Butterfly, back, free or a combination of the few- no matter which way you stroke it (pun intended), swimming any kind of stroke is a breed of its own. Much different than most other sports out there, taking your speed, power, agility and coordination to the water can offer its own share of challenges. Being that it's the epitome of a full body sport, learning how to train optimally and get the most bang for your buck can be somewhat complex. We do know that while the water specific training is obviously important (duh) we can also validate that the dry land training can help you level up your ability.

Optimizing your dry land training, taking the work to the weights, is the secret sauce, the magic potion if you will, that can have you flying, gliding and sailing your way to being a more efficient, streamlined and overall stronger swimmer.
