Learn to listen to your body
-
Think long term: gradually build up your strength
-
Practice in different intensity levels
- Most of your practice should be relatively low intensity. It is important that you don’t get tired/fatigued too quickly, because you need put sufficient hours
- You need some high intensity work, but not that much
-
Give time for (muscular/neural) adaptations
Examples of low intensity work
- soft dynamics
- long breaks in-between repetitions. 1:1 work-rest (or even 1:2 work-rest) balance
- mid- and low range
Clarke advocates playing his exercises primarily softly.
