Trust Positions. Don’t Trust Feel. October 28, 2026 Just because a movement feels right doesn’t mean you’re in the right position. And just because something feels different doesn’t mean it’s wrong. When you’re learning a new movement or correcting an old habit, the right positions may initially feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar. That’s why it’s important to have clear reference points. Foot pressure, balance, bar path, and receiving positions give you something to evaluate. Use video, coaching feedback, and consistent repetitions to understand what you’re actually doing. Over time, those positions become more natural, and your feel for the movement improves. Trust the positions first. Let the feel develop. Train What Carries Over. Bluegrass Barbell Move Better.
