Slow Lowers Teach Precision

Ight so video isn’t really that engaging but that’s fine cause this one about info so screw it

Did the depth drops and sprints back and forth, 5 min at a time, for 6 rounds in total

Specifics of what i felt here was learning how to be and stay leveraged to the ground

Specifically with the tennis ball chase sprints

Cause early on i was doing sprints without a tennis ball felt pretty good, but didn’t really feel like i was digging in

Then last sprint i did without a tennis ball (last sprint video in the collection above), remembered to “stay grounded” with it, and really dig in - not get too “up” in reaching, but to stay down and in and drive

Then later the tennis ball sprints came into it, where this may have been the cleanest they’ve felt

Like head and chest leading exactly where i wanted to go, and no wasted time or energy, lower half just freaking digging in and pulling me through

Which is cool cause i can relate these to the slow lower type work i do

Meaning:

When you’re pulling down into position in a slow lower, a loss of effort in it, even for half a sec, can cause you to lose leverage - like you lose the line of pull you are creating, and then it slips and you have to try to regain it, but it’s not as clean as it was at the start

And when we do slow raises after - driving back UP for 90 sec or so, that may be an even better example - cause if you pull down clean, it’s like you’re on that “leveraged” line, and then if you cleanly reverse, you can drive up on that same “leveraged” line - but you lose that - attention goes elsewhere, become unwilling to experience the discomfort, etc, and then that gets lost

So then we bring that back to something like the sprints here

And, for me personally, makes it even easier to “stay on that line” and just freaking drive and pull all the way through

Not sure if that made sense to anybody, but there it is
