Natty Power

Being powerful means being strong and fast at the same time, because power is directly proportional to strength and speed. It means that more strength will result in more power, as well as more speed will also result in more power. Improving any of these two components will result in power improvement. However, if the aim is maximal power, then both components should be improved independently, each one to its own maximum:

We are familiar with strength measurement: athlete who lifts the heaviest weight is the strongest one. Deadlifters don’t care about the time when they lift. There is no rush, because time and speed of the movement are not measured, only weight on the bar counts. When the lifting speed is close to zero, we can consider it to be a demonstration of pure human strength. In that case, the athlete demonstrates a strength dominant power.

We are also familiar with speed measurement: sprinter who finishes the race in shortest time is the winner and the fastest one. Sprinters are not carrying any additional weight, so their strength is not measured. The only thing that matters is time and therefore, speed. When the additional weight is practically nonexistent, we have a manifestation of pure human speed. In that case, the athlete demonstrates a speed dominant power.

Your muscle strength and speed of the movement will determine how powerful you are. Beside strength and speed, there is also another physical value involved in any exhibition of power and that is energy.

• Energy is ability to do work.

Motion or movement is in the very essence of the Universe. Absolutely everything in the Universe moves in some way or another. From atoms to stars and galaxies, everything! A house may look static relative to Earth’s surface, but it circles around the Sun together with Earth and also, all three of them move together around the center of our galaxy.

• Motion is process of changing position of an object in time.
