Scenario:

A high school shot putter has been working intensely on weight training to improve his muscular strength. In particular, he has been concentrating on lifting extremely heavy free weights using a low number of repetitions $($three sets of six to eight repetitions$).$ Although his strength has improved significantly over the last several months, he is not seeing the same degree of improvement in his throws, even though his coach says his technique is very good.

The athlete is frustrated with his performance and wants to know if there is anything else he can incorporate into his training program that might enhance his performance.
