 | Peak Condition Health & Fitness · Your performance edge. | How to Build Explosive Power Without Sacrificing Size Explosive power comes from rate of force development—the ability to produce force quickly.

Incorporate plyometrics, Olympic lift variations, sprints, and medicine ball throws. Use light-to-moderate loads moved explosively (30–60% 1RM). Pair power work with traditional strength and hypertrophy training. The result: fast, strong, athletic muscle—not just big muscle. Read More | | |

HMS Bounty in 1788—the mutiny happened after Fletcher Christian fell for Tahitian life. France annexed Tahiti in 1880, making it a colony until 2004 when it became an overseas collectivity. The darkest chapter: 193 nuclear tests on Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls from 1966-1996, consequences still debated today. The Tahitian language nearly disappeared under French assimilation but is experiencing revival. Today, 70% speak Tahitian, and traditional practices like tattooing (the word "tattoo" comes from Tahitian "tatau"), dance, and navigation are reclaiming prominence. The culture survived colonialism—barely—and now thrives with fierce pride. Tomorrow: Hidden waterfalls and secret surf breaks... Read More | | |
