I posted this video on my Instagram yesterday with a little bit of a story, I thought maybe worth sharing here as well. I was fast enough to win this event in the under 80 kg category, but it was also the second fastest time across all athletes in all divisions across the day. I was never really known for my speed on moving events. Practising moving fast is a huge skill, and speed work should be part of peoples programs. This weight was not a heavy weight for me, and I didn’t want to just do speed work every week, nor did I want to train with comp weight every week. So most of my training was at 160 to 180 kg, 4-5 sets per week spread across two different sessions Each set, I moved deliberate and kind of slow, to accumulate more time of detention in my fingers, my forearms my traps and my ankles. Sometimes instead of going heavier and rushing, we can choose a moderate weight and purposely go slow
