More #GOLD from these guys! #Repost @whiteboard_daily ・・・ | COACHING TECHNIQUE | . “Barbell (or PVC Pipe) Tai Chi” . You’ve likely seen someone practicing tai chi, moving in a slow and extremely controlled manner (specifically tàijíquán). . Much can be gained by taking this approach to any sport that involves moving a barbell explosively. . Performing barbell movements in slow motion with a PVC pipe or an unloaded barbell allows: - the athlete to FEEL the specific body positions and movement patterns - the coach to IDENTIFY specific areas of improvement - both the coach and athlete to COMMUNICATE DURING a movement that normally takes a split second. . “Often, your best coaching cue is simply “slow down.” Motor learning doesn’t occur if you’re racing along in panic mode and defaulting to incorrect pre-existing patterns.” - Eric Cressey @ericcressey . #earnYOURweights #earnYOURvolume #BlackBoltCF #BoltUp #BoltNATION #HardWork #Dedication #fitness #community #carync #raleigh #cary #nc #powerlifting #weightlifting #CrossFit #fitfam #strength #power #commitment #HWPO #WeCOACH https://www.instagram.com/p/BumOQpyActz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=puc2eb54lcew
