Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the most important factor to become explosive the INTENTION of lifting the bar in a explosive fashion (as fast as you can in concentric phase), and NOT the bar speed itself??
Doesn’t this mean that, while a snatch might seem like a much more explosive lift than a DE squat, that both movements call upon the neurological pathways specific to explosive lifting to more or less the same extent (this is when we don’t account for the difference between the actual movements itself).

could be, but the more important factor for me is that you have to be explosive when power cleaning and snatching. And by your reasoning wouldn’t that mean that a 1rm attempt where the person is exerting a lot of force against the bar be the same?
