Power development is crucial that leads to increase speed and strength. As the physics equation exist Power = Work / Time or Energy / Time where Work = force x distance then  Power = (Force x Distance) / Time or Power = (Force/Time) * (Distance/Time) where (D/T) is also known as velocity or speed and can be re-written as Power = (Force/Time) * Velocity. Force over Time is recognized then as mass(M)*Acceleration(A) * velocity (V) which can be written as Power = (MA) * V where MA is known as strength. The equation thus leads us to POWER = Strength * Speed where you can not have one without the other. The beauty about having a certified Olympic Weight Lifting Coach is to determine which of the two or are both needed to develop power.
