Power Transfer

When becoming fit, you're learning and teaching yourself how to transfer the power from your muscles into force to move your or hold you in a position or to move something else as well as ongoing movement for long periods of time. Let's talk about that.


Power transfer can be handled delicately, but if you desire to do so, it may not end up in the area you'd like it. So take it where you want to go, work yourself up to those good movements and into things like one hundred push ups all at once and a nicely weighted press.
   Power transfer has to be properly done and come from all of the places you need it to come from in your body. It's important to understand just how much energy you need to generate, because if you have that energy but generate it in the wrong way, whatever you're doing won't end up coming out like you know it can.
   There are so many ways the human body can generate power, so why not learn how to use it in all of those ways? You can learn from one category or another. I would like to say for power transfer that there are different genres. I'll give you some examples.
   You have weightlifting, when you lift weights, your power transfer is the force you are applying against an object to make it move. Barbels, dumbbells, cable machines, ect... Therefore you work hard in power transfer against objects to make them move and make you stronger.
   Then you have body weight. Some people really go to town on this one. I've seen people get pretty big off of body weight exercises because they do them right. The idea of body weight training is that you work to move your body weight against the force of gravity making you stronger and lighter against the resistance of your body, and since you have strength to move your body weight in such way, you'll have little problems with the weight of other objects.
   And then you have endurance. Runners and people who do things like ride their bikes for miles and miles. I really don't like running long distances, I do on the other hand have a love for cycling, all kinds. Your body is trained to transfer a certain amount of power for a long period of time to make it move a good distance in a good time.
   So there you go, ways of power transfer, go figure out what yours is.
