If you work past strength in typical terms-- all you have left is structure and dynamic. If you are paying attention at the time, you realize how little strength contributes to powerful performance. That's all I have to say about that.
Actually strength plays a big part. A huge part. Just not the same kind of "strength." But it's still a strength derived partly from conditioned musculature
