Welcome back to the Iron Sights Podcast. I’m in the studio today with CeCe and Ryan, and we’re diving into how to build real power in the gym—without Olympic lifts or endless box jumps.

A lot of people think power training is reserved for elite athletes or requires advanced lifts like cleans and snatches. While those are great tools, the truth is you can develop explosive strength and speed in safer, more practical ways that work for everyday lifters.

We’ll break down the key principles of power development, how to program it effectively, and how to train for explosive results without fancy tools or velocity-based devices. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or just someone who wants to move better and stronger, this episode will give you a clear roadmap for building power that lasts.
