4 sets of 8 slow reps
Beginner
Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Break your skill into three checkpoints: start position, mid-movement, finish.
  2. 2Run the movement at a quarter speed, pausing one second at each checkpoint.
  3. 3Reset any rep where a checkpoint is missed instead of pushing through it.
  4. 4Finish the set with two reps at full speed and compare how they felt.

What to focus on

Hitting every checkpoint the same way, rep after rep.

Common mistake

Rushing to full speed before the pattern is repeatable.
