Why Power Training Should Always Start the Workout

Explosive work belongs at the beginning of the session, not the end.

Power requires a fresh nervous system, sharp coordination, and maximal intent. When you’re tired, your movement patterns fall apart, and the risk of injury skyrockets.

Starting with jumps, sprints, or fast lifts ensures:

• clean mechanics

• maximum output

• better muscle recruitment

• safer training

Pairing a jump after a heavy lift also amplifies power through post-activation potentiation (your muscles fire harder after being loaded).

ReadyCoach is built around this exact principle: power early, strength next, accessories last.
