Feels faster because neural drive increases firing efficiency.

Intensity rises, but speed perception changes more noticeably.

Strength gains improve force production, making movements explosive.

Bar speed improves, giving illusion of effortless power.

Nervous system efficiency makes strength feel instantly accessible.

Heavier weights move quicker once recruitment improves significantly.

Intensity increases, coordination makes everything feel smoother overall

Speed perception improves when force output rises dramatically.

Explosiveness increases, so lifts feel faster, not lighter.

More motor units firing makes strength feel quicker.
