And so it goes.  In pursuit of ever better technique I have a couple of things to offer.  First I'd like to show you a couple videos of me doing long cycle.  The first is from two days ago.  It is the "before".  The second is from today.  It is the "after".  The issue I was trying to address was solidifying the lockout.  I noticed a big difference.  This correction came to me yesterday while I was thinking about something supertrainer Steven Khuong from the Ice Chamber told me while I was there. Here is a link to the Ice Chamber.  I was thinking about this at the same time I was remembering how Valery would gesture when he wanted me to improve my lockout.  When I did this I immediately saw how the emphasis was far less on my triceps.  They are still much involved but they would adapt and quickly relax it seems.  I'll let the videos do the explaining.  It is a drastic improvement but I still need to perfect it and let it settle in.  The after video was filmed after doing a lot of long cycle today so I was quite fatigued.  To me the lockouts felt better than the prior filmed set where I was fresh.  Not sure how I missed this for so long.  I am a slow learner I guess.
