7 Steps to Mastering Technique Coaching : 6 - Learn how to administer remedial movements...

6 - Learn how to administer remedial movements in the proper dosages and proper frequencies. There are specific exercises that remedy specific problems. They should be prescribed in the proper numbers of reps and sets, and at the appropriate point in the workout for the appropriate number of days per week. Once these remedial movements have balanced the weak areas of a lifter's performance, they need to be pulled back in the frequency performed or eliminated altogether.

The same can be said for the amount of resistance employed. Some athletes will become enamored of certain lifts and train them too heavy too frequently. One of my best early athletes was Ray Blaha who held the American record in the snatch for the 110 kg. class at 171.1 kg. Before he accomplished this he became fascinated with the overhead squat and kept training it until he was able to perform a single with 183 kg.
