In a nutshell, his training principles advocate training very heavy and very often, never going near failure. The theory goes that staying clear of failure will allow you to use perfect form and maximum power for each rep, as well as keeping your body "fresh as a cucumber", not burnt out. Your muscles will learn to contract fully and quickly every time, no saving energy for later reps. He also advocates training the same lifts every day, no rest days, and training more than once a day.
Regardless of the approach you take to training, sticking with power/strength training and staying away from bodybuilding will give you the functional power and explosiveness you want.
