The Lord's Day

A day of rest.

"Take the time to learn how to do things correctly. Practice makes permanent. Repetition of a skill builds muscle memory. However, your muscles don't know the difference between good technique and bad. Practice them correctly over and over, in slow motion if necessary, until they become second nature. Familiarity with a technique will help you develop an economy of motion. Speed comes from doing it correctly, quickly, with the least wasted effort. Little things do matter."- Derrick Bartlett.

The quote was intented for shooters, but it applies to what we do here in the gym. Advanced techniques are only the basics mastered. Learn the fundamentals and the rest will fall into place. OK, OK, off my soapbox.
