Try full squats, power cleans; power snatches; real cleans; and full snatches.  Also try single dumbbell power moves like the one arm snatch.  Plyometrics and sprinting should also be included.  I was a sprinter in high school and college.  I rarely did olympic stuff like power cleans.  Many years later I did them and I couldn't believe the spring in my step.  Sprinting speed came back including of course vertical leap.  Olympic lifters have the most vertical leap of just about any athlete.  Most elite don't sprint in training yet when they were tested they were the quickest in short sprints.  I think that study was done many years ago at the 68 Olympics.

Good advice above. Also using bands, doing plyos, and well anything that IS explosive.


Are you looking to train for something specific? Too many ideas, methods, and applications out there to just ask "how do I train for explosive power."
