Hit a bag as hard as it is fun, for three times as much volume, and you get way better results than hitting as hard as one can.<br /><br />To mc and Mike's conversation, I wonder what the difference is between getting more tension with more load and getting tension with Roland Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547177121352801505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866951365200962990.post-69357413821982680302010-05-14T13:38:51.833+01:002010-05-14T13:38:51.833+01:00Well Mike,

Anything extract is not efficient. If I want to use overload, I will play with volume, density or use a heavier load. <br /><br />If I wanted to get more tension (movement is stil the goal though) I would just pick a heavier kettlebell and practice with that. <br /><br />Think of it another way. <Mike T Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997800230648983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866951365200962990.post-9539776175368925452010-05-12T23:18:55.406+01:002010-05-12T23:18:55.406+01:00Mike, yes both are important - practice light; pra...Mike, yes both are important - practice light; practice heavy - i just don't think i'd quite seen the power of light before.<br /><br />And as for tension - advocating is rather strong. I'm suggesting it seems there's value on praciticing tension - focusing on tension with the light loads to prep to brace for the heavier ones. <br /><br />Now for my pistols, i don't have to dr. m.c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06946429548291747143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866951365200962990.post-48920267224097680462010-05-12T16:33:17.928+01:002010-05-12T16:33:17.928+01:00Yes, I agree that lighter lifting can help (must b...Yes, I agree that lighter lifting can help (must be tested to know 100% for sure though). <br /><br />Doing the opposite many times is beneficial. <br /><br />MC, on this line<br />"This practicing volume with lighter loads but treating the performance like their heavy loads is another process for the nervous system's sense of security.

That's how I trained for my 24kg pullup for RKCII, increased my deadlift and rack pull and I've been able to do get-ups with 75% of my bodyweight without using more than 16kg.<br /><br />As you said "Give the nervous system a break".
