The most obvious thing about a visit to the pyramids is, if you go up you have to come down.
I understand from reading around the subject that the pyramids of Giza took 20 years to build and needed the manpower of over 100,000 men. That’s a lot of men doing pyramids!
But that’s a side note to the real event today.
Today a Saturday session the guys I coached were doing pyramids, in so much that they went up and down the stroke rating.
Why do we do pyramids, simple, to build better technique under increasing levels of performance and stress, what you learn on the way up the rating is how to focus on the changeup, try and keep the technique together, and on the way down it’s about compounding that learning as the movements get slow.
When you do pyramids for the first time there is a lot to think about, lots of moving parts all moving faster and faster.
The more you do a pyramid session the more you can fine-tune your technique, power and focus.
