Central nervous system training...
Training neral paths for maximum speed and muscle response..
I think thats what it is.. there is probably more to it that somebody else can explain better

pretty mcuh what the Doc said, but the premise is to train your body's muscles to fire (contract) with greater than normal efficiency to create more force than many people can generate at the same bodyweight....

how would I go about doing it?

I have a training thread on it, but basically, just train with decently heavy weight and work on max explosive force. This type of training does not involve one to go to failure, reps are usually 4-6...
