Light weight

Nick | 06/23/2015 | 8

Loading ourselves up with a challenging weight in workouts can provide a potent stimulus.  With a lighter weight, we can allow ourselves to get sloppy and use movement patterns that are less efficient but feel faster at the time.  Today’s light Rx might tempt you to do just that, but if you are deliberate about using your rack position, you’ll save your shoulders so they’ll be able to stabilize better in the row and in the later rounds of the push press.  Be deliberate and present early and you’ll get much more out of this one.
