Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 164
Drill is comparable to the weight-lifting concept of sets and repetitions. When you start lifting weights, you spend time learning the proper form for the exercise and making sure that you have the ability to move the weight through space in the safest and most efficient manner. The more perfect practices of a particular movement, the more perfect the repetitions, the better your form gets and the more intuitive the process becomes. When you approach the bar for your first time to perform a dead lift, it is a much different process than that of an experienced lifter. Novices step up to the bar and spend time making sure their feet are in the right place and their grip is just so. Experienced lifters do all of this intuitively. They step up to the bar, and everything falls into place. Why? Practice!
