DOWNLOAD EBOOKHeavy/Light is the first manual to create a full-season block periodization approach for athletes competing in the Scottish Highland Games. The goal of this manual is to create an easy-to-follow foundation for what do to on the practice field, and how to make the best of your time practicing the throws. This is built as a companion piece to Matt Vincent's Strength Lab, but it can be paired with any strength and conditioning program if you are a Highland Games athlete.Any sport played at a higher level involves deconstructing the way it's played into drills, variations, and then approaching game speed. The Highland Games should be treated no differently.
