People often ask me why I like to spend 10-12 weeks during every cycle working positions and light to hang out at lighter percentages. The answer is simple: perfection of movement. What that means for you as an athlete however is that you need to be intentional to enforce and focus on perfect movement down to the minuscule detail when working light percentages. That focus and intentionality will pay dividends in made lifts later and good habits formed now. Here is a video of Connor completing a 110kg CJ as part of a complex from today. 110kg in the CJ for Connor is somewhere around 70%-75%. A easy weight for him. The point of these types of percentages, as I stated, is perfection down to the most minuscule details. At full speed it’s easy to miss some of those smaller more technical pieces. Here’s an analysis showing some things he is working on.
