All The Way Up

P1200489

LG2

The wall ball is a great movement for practicing accuracy. The ball should hit the same spot on the target each time. You'll be more successful and hit the target more often if you finish your legs before punching the arms. If you're too impatient, you'll miss the target more often.

Long Arms

P1200518Lucas

It takes a lot of patience to make sure you extend your legs before pulling with your arms. As soon as you start pulling, the power driven from the legs is over, so you want to be sure and wait until just the right time. This principal is true for so many functionl movements. It is critical to practice and understand.
