Abstract: Although previous research has been performed in similar areas of study, the optimal load for the development of peak power during training remains controversial, and this has yet to be established in collegiate level athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal load to achieve peak power output during the power clean in collegiate athletes. Nineteen male collegiate athletes (age 21.5 ± 1.4 years; height 173.86 ± 7.98 cm; body mass 78.85 ± 8.67 kg) performed 3 repetitions of power cleans, while standing on a force platform, using loads of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80% of their predetermined 1-repetition maximum (1RM) power clean, in a randomized, counterbalanced order. Peak power output occurred at 70% 1RM (2,951.7 ± 931.71 W), which was significantly greater than the 30% (2,149.5 ± 406.98 W, p = 0.007), 40% (2,201.0 ± 438.82 W, p = 0.04), and 50% (2,231.1 ± 501.09 W, p = 0.05) conditions, although not significantly different when compared with the 60 and 80% 1RM loads. In addition, force increased with an increase in load, with peak force occurring at 80% 1RM (1,939.1 ± 320.97 N), which was significantly greater (p 0.05) than the 70% 1RM load (1,921.2 ± 345.16 N). In contrast, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in rate of force development across loads. When training to maximize force and power, it may be advantageous to use loads equivalent to 60-80% of the 1RM, in collegiate level athletes.

The Importance of Muscular Strength: Training Considerations
TL;DR: This review covers underlying physiological characteristics and training considerations that may affect muscular strength including improving maximal force expression and time-limited force expression as well as how initial strength affects an athlete’s ability to improve their performance following various training methods.

Enhancing the force-velocity profile of athletes using weightlifting derivatives
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analysis of weightlifting techniques and their applications to resistance training in accordance with the TYPICAL APPLICATION of perIODIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS.
Weightlifting pulling derivatives: rationale for implementation and application
TL;DR: Examination of previous weightlifting literature suggests that the clean pull, snatch pull, hang high pull, jump shrug, and mid-thigh pull may provide a training stimulus that is as good as, if not better than, weightlifting movements that include the catch phase.

Ballistic Exercise as a Pre-Activation Stimulus: A Review of the Literature and Practical Applications
TL;DR: BE demonstrates the potential to enhance performance in power tasks such as jumps and sprints and the role of acute augmentations in lower limb stiffness is proposed as an additional mechanism that may further explain the PAP response following BE.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship of the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) squat to power output during countermovement and static weighted vertical squat jumps suggests that improving maximum strength should be a primary component of training programs and that strength training should shift from lighter to heavier loads.

TL;DR: The stance phase limit to running speed is imposed not by the maximum forces that the limbs can apply to the ground but rather by the minimum time needed to apply the large, mass-specific forces necessary.

TL;DR: The ability to exert both isometric and dynamic peak force shares some structural and functional foundation with the ability to generate force rapidly and is strongly correlated with peak dynamic rate of force development.
