Let’s talk about deceleration: why is it important not just to rotate powerfully but to stop powerfully? Below is a tale of 2 nearly identical torso rotational velocities with very different accel/decel curves.
When we want to transfer momentum from one segment (torso) to the next (arm), the less kinetic energy (movement) one object maintains, the more kinetic energy the other is given. Controlled movement is a product of ballistic rotation but also ballistic stoping.
Do you train deceleration? Do you train stopping power of pelvis and torso and not just arm? Would love to hear if and how everyone is training this component of delivery. @108_Performance I know you have the goods.
