We often direct practice of a movement/ lift with a singular focus on the weakest aspect of the position or execution. If you’re doing nine things well, and one thing poorly (our “9/1” strategy), don’t dilute the improvement process by focusing on what isn’t broken; instead, laser-sight in on what *is*, and hammer away until it cooperates.
Once we’ve developed foundational, provable, non-gimmick proficiency in any movement or lift, the “small” details become both more difficult and more important to assess, address, and adjust; viewing and practicing the movement perceived as a whole will often not allow us to reach its highest attainable levels.
Break it into pieces, and single out the one that’s trying to hide in the corner. Once it decides to play nice, then put it back together with the others; your daily performance, ongoing progress, and overall training satisfaction will quietly thank you.
