This is one of my favorite methods to improve no matter your current level. As we all know, we are bound by the law of diminishing returns... the more we improve and enhance our abilities it requires more and more effort to continue the climb. And as we approach the top end, the level of effort only returns small improvements. However, there are ways in which we can engage our nervous system to improve things like strength, power, and work capacity without increasing our muscle size. It's all about how we engage our nervous system. We can "cheat" our physiology and engage more of our nervous system by using contrast, such as hot vs cold, fight vs flight, or fast vs slow. The dichotomy of fast versus slow is an easy way to immediately enhance our focus leading to better recruitment of muscles and more efficient movement. Be sure to tune in for the directions on how to utilize this approach and how it will help you improve at any level.
