From the publisher
Explosive Mechanics is a gym with a performance system engineered for the development of elite human strength, speed, and power. Hosted by Jared Bidne, this podcast breaks down applied biomechanics, force production, acceleration mechanics, vertical jump development, and structured progression models that transfer directly to sport. Built in Georgia and applied worldwide. Every principle is applied, measured, and refined in real athletes to produce measurable, repeatable performance outcomes - not trends, not hype, not guesswork. This is not fitness content. This is performance engineering. System-based Performance-driven Zero Fluff. "Athletes are not only trained - they are built."
