Dynamic Effort and how does it help strength?

I know a lot of powerlifters have a dynamic effort day (like in WSB), but not quite sure the mechanism of how it works?

Anyone have a good explanation?

Thanks.

High velocity training produces increases in the nervous system's rate of force production. Rate of force production refers to the nervous system's ability to activate muscle as quickly as possible. When phrased like that, it's quite clear why strength athletes want it :D

Rate of force production is best established through dynamic reactive movements (such as plyometrics, depth jumps) rather than maximal weight training. But maximal weight training is better at increasing maximal strength.

So you can see why strength athletes do both. Maximal strength and maximal speed of muscle activation. Both important for increasing one's functional strength and 1RM.

great answer casual...

to speak about it in physics terms it is as follows:
the weight at rest on your chest requires a force to move it. force is made up of a mass * an acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. So you can see if you can change speeds faster(or aquire maximal speed in a shorter time period), you will generate more force.
