Absolute's Reactive Strength Visual
Rethinking Reactive Strength: A New Approach to Training Protocols
We Disagree
As stated in multiple articles (see below), we disagree with the current definition of reactive strength. We find it to be incomplete, inaccurate, and, now, with a coherent understanding of internal strength training, not a definition that allows for the construction and design of training protocols that stimulate the development of reactive strength. The antiquated definition is undoubtedly leading to illogical training that fails to stimulate the development of reactive strength, thereby contributing to the connective tissue injuries observed throughout modern sports at all levels.
This visual representation allows strength practitioners to grasp the reality of reactive strength: it is an emergent behavior resulting from the synergy between the top-down central nervous system (CNS) and the bottom-up connective tissue.
