Why Your Explosive Training Isn’t Working (Fix This and Finally Hit Harder)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most fighters think they’re training explosiveness—but they’re really just moving fast with no real power behind it.
In this episode of The Black Lion Blueprint, Coach Frederick breaks down why your “explosive” work isn’t translating to performance—and what to do about it.
You’ll learn:
- The real difference between strength and power
- Why copying flashy drills without a strength base won’t get you knockouts
- How to program power work the right way (and when to leave it out)
- What most fighters get wrong about med ball throws, jumps, and Olympic lifts
- How to layer power training after you’ve built a foundation
If you’ve ever felt like your explosive training wasn’t delivering real results—this episode will tell you why.
