Question for the TA Meta users!

amazondotmom · 10-06-11, 03:13 PM

I posted this on Tracy's forum and got not response.......can anyone answer this?

I’ve noticed that Tracy sometimes hold the weights with her fingers wrapped around the weights and sometimes with just her thumb holding onto the weights and fingers up. Can you tell me why she does this? I just noticed this today after doing this program for a month

. I am currently on hipcentric L4D1.

I'm not a Tracy-ite but I see a lot of instructors do this with light weights. They're reminding themselves and you not to keep a death grip on the weights (because gripping the weight too hard exhausts the wrong muscles).

I agree with the above reply from Laurajhawk.

That makes sense! I wish Tracy had more instruction in her workouts.

It took me a month before I noticed her doing this technique with her hands/fingers. I'm sure there are other things I'm missing too. I feel that her audience would benefit more if she gave more pointers and cued on changes.
