Speed Restriction
Recently in my training I've been incorporating a new method that I have found to greatly increase my confidence in a technique and also boost my explosive power. I've been calling it Speed Restriction.
The idea is simple, approach an object that you normally use during your regular training, and force yourself to do the same vault, tic-tac, precision, or wall pass with only two steps.
The other day I approached a wall I usually train on that is about 90% of my max height, and employed this method. Try after try, I would explode my right leg up the wall as hard as I could, yet still fail. Days later, I would try again with the same outcome. Recently, however, I have been able to succeed at this 11 some foot high wall using only two steps.
The ability to do most of your skills and abilities with such a narrow distance opens up many new areas for you and I feel is a very important, and often neglected, aspect of regular parkour training.
