tiny tricks = BIG RESULTS

If you have been following the blog you know that Trevor attended a workshop this weekend, as did I. The main message from both workshops we attended; small stuff counts.

Personal records and 100 rep sets are great, obviously. Telling someone to gaze upward in their squat and then see them go from a rounded back to a practically vertical spine and hips 3 inches from the floor is just as cool. Whether you are a novice to kettlebells or a Master RKC, you know that technique is everything. We all try and go over the mental checklist in our head. Hopefully we remember everything. Glutes: check. Abs braced: check.

My goal for you this is week is to see what happens if you start to think about the finer components of your technique. For example, head and eye position, crushing the handle on your presses, pulling more in your down swing (especially on doubles) etc. Do not overwhelm yourself and try to concentrate on all these things. Rather, start at the base and work upwards.

Your first focus for the week will be on feeling rooted into the ground. Each day, work your way up your body to ensure that you are covering all your technical pieces.

You will be amazed at your results by the end of your week...

Good luck!
