    Leg strength and explosiveness

    I got pretty strong legs, but I noticed that with all the deadlifts, my legs got much heavier, so I need to get my explosiveness back while keeping all the strength.
    Any tips on how to do that?

      Power Cleans. That is exactly what you need. If you dont know what they are just google it.

          No explosiveness, no power. I think you've got your definitions mixed up a little...

          Cleans are all about explosiveness man. Olympic weightlifters are some of the most explosive athletes in the world. Explosiveness is the most important thing get the bar up in a clean.

              you can get explosive from doing speed box squats and speed bench pressing.

              olympic lifting isnt the only way to get explosive...

              PLUS, its ahrd to teach the O-lifts so speed lifts are better

                  I do lunges with a medicine ball (or weights) at a rapid pace. I've seen an increase in my explosiveness since I made those a regular addition to my workouts.

                    In a full clean and jerk, the bar ends over your head. Clean is the part from the ground to your shoulders, where the bar ends up in a front squat position. Very explosive movement.
