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 or 20 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."
