Strength and Power are two different things, though they have similarities they have a distinct change between them. Strength is the amount of force you’re able to put through something at a given time while power is more interesting.
While power does require strength to do, the difference is it’s the ability of producing force as fast as possible. So think about your squats for a moment. The technique is quite smooth however you are very slow and exerting a lot of effort to move the weight from the bottom of the movement to the top. So from an increase of power you would lift at a faster rate while maintaining less effort and exertion.
Sounds weird right? The trick of it all is finding a rhythm to a set and pushing the movement at pace allows a small amount of energy to be reserved in comparison to very slow repetitions. That doesn’t allow you to burst out so fast you’re jolting yourself but a bit faster and therefore smoother than if you we’re struggling with a weight at a slower pace.
