Actually, I'm not delving too deeply into physics, except for the basic understanding of power. I'm no powerlifter, but the fitness circles I frequent refer to power in terms of explosive movements, like an NFL lineman out of his stance, or a sprinter out of the blocks, or a boxer throwing a cross; in other words, functional, applicable power (often using a sports-related context). Think olympic lifts--cleans, snatches, jerks...moving a whole lot of weight explosively rather than slow, controlled reps. This translates into the ability to move quickly from a full stop, drive an obstacle out of your path while on the move, or deliver a decisive blow to a bad guy either dynamically or from a "sucker punch". Raw strength is good, but maximizing its delivery is a true force multiplier.
