Layer upon Layer

It has been at least a few days (on the blog, anyway) since I’ve talked about the amazing technique returns I’ve gotten from keeping the weights on my Olympic weight super low (53 pounds). So yeah, it has been amazing.

First, I noticed that the power position really works… if you actually open your hips. Then I noticed that looking forward (instead of down) was actually functional (not just something to say to other people). And it goes on from there.

The point is that when the weight is light enough, you can still focus, process and notice when technique matters. I highly recommend sometimes (or for maybe 3 months straight), going light.
