In this episode of the Fight Science Made Simple podcast, Coach Adam breaks down the alactic system – the energy system behind your knockout power, blast-double takedowns, explosive guard passes, and scramble finishing speed. If you’ve ever felt strong in the gym but slow in the cage, or powerful early and flat later in the round, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

• What the alactic system actually is
• The difference between alactic power, alactic capacity, and neuromuscular recruitment – and which one matters most for finishing fights.
• Exactly how to train alactic power
• How to build repeatable power
• How to use strength training, plyometrics, ballistic work, and the force–velocity curve to build real fight-ending power in the weight room.
• When to focus on alactic training so you can peak your power on fight night without wrecking your recovery or skill sessions.

If you’re a fighter whose punches are pillow soft or you feel slow and powerless in the cage, this episode is for you. If you’ve ever thought, “Why don’t I hit harder?” or “Why does my power vanish when I need it?” — you do not want to miss this one.
