How to make light weights feel heavy


Three strategies to maximize the benefit of training light weights:

1) leverage

2) mechanical disadvantage

3) time under tension

Here’s an example

​The further the load is from the body, the longer the lever, such as a fully extended arm.

This is a very compromised body position, even without any weights.

The movement is slow on purpose.

Another example

​Here you have both, the length of the arms and the length of the mace.

Even with a faster movement, having two levers in motion on each side

is very unstable aka the wobble factor.

Integrating these strategies into your current training will make you a better athlete.
