"Athletes can increase muscle force during lifts
by timing the recoil from muscle stretch as
soon as muscle contraction begins. This advice
is contrary to that given by many experts.
They suggest doing lifts in a slow, controlled
manner. Although slow, controlled training
certainly has its place, some portion of the
training program should attempt to activate
elastic muscle energy because of its incredible
capacity to increase muscle force and ulti-
mately muscle size. Note that rapid movement
training is appropriate for power athletes and
bodybuilders." ISSA
