Power is present when lifting weights. Power can be calculated by work/time interval. If I lift the two weights 10 times, and take a long time to complete my 10 reps, my power is low because the time is increased. If I lift the two weights 10 times, and take a short time to complete my 10 reps, my power is high because the time is decreased. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. Its units are watts (joules/seconds). Increasing mass, increases power. Faster time means more power. Using real life situations helps me understand power better because I can relate to it.
