🏅 Coach Cappos Recommends

"I run heavy-light cycles with every college man I've coached. The 15 lb and 17 lb are my core pairing for most of the season — close enough to competition weight that the mechanics transfer directly. When we're in a strength block, I'll bring the 18 lb in. The key is keeping the same 128mm diameter throughout so the grip and feel stay consistent. Never train with a different diameter than what you compete with — it will mess up your release mechanics."
