What’s more fun than lifting heavy? That would be… nothing. Even when we know we shouldn’t be lifting heavy, we do it anyway. All-around badass Tia-Clair Toomey took to Instagram to remind us that sometimes, the best thing you can do is strip off some of the weight and focus on your technique.
It’s a reminder we all need. Nobody is perfect, and practicing technique at lighter weights is vital if you want to improve. It’s easy to forget that, though, when you’re focused on PRs and the accomplishments that lay ahead.
Today, we challenge you to go light. Pull back, zero in on your weakness, and refine your technique. What will you be doing in the gym today?
