Good Practice Over Time

Hi friends, today is going to be short and sweet, but will likely find many of you nodding as the gears tick over upstairs. In any case, sit back and enjoy. Something I’m always harping on to the younger clients and my high school athletes is good practice. Usually it sounds something like, “It might not feel like it makes a big difference right now, but it’s good practice to get into”. Whether it’s something as simple as putting the weights away (correctly) or making sure the weights are shared so no one is left without, to paying attention to certain techniques with a certain lift at a lighter that may not feel like it matters then but will with the heavier stuff comes into play.
Picture
Good practice is just simply about getting into a good habit, even if it feels very insignificant in the moment, it will help build up that pathway in your brain.
 
Example, packing your shoulders and lats during a deadlift. Is it going to be a significant thing for an athlete doing a 16-20kgs kettlebell deadlift? Not super likely, but it’s a good habit to get into. When that athlete starts packing 2-3 wheels (45 lbs. plates) on the trap bar or straight bar down the road, that technique or habit will be well formed and benefit them in those lifts.
 
So, in the end, it might not feel like much in the end, but if it’s good practice to do it in the gym (or life) you’re best served to start doing it early on so it’s a no brainer down the road. That’s all I got today friends, thanks for hanging out and reading.
