“All-round sports training must include the capability of coping with unexpected and sub-optimal conditioning. This type of preparation needs to be adopted far more extensively in all sports so that the athlete is able to anticipate threatening situations, react much more rapidly to unexpected circumstances, take action to avoid or minimize injury, and cope with sub-optimal conditions by practicing with imperfectly executed movements.” (Supertraining)
A basic example of “imperfection training” would be performing farmers walks with uneven sized kettlebells. The “imperfect” resistance promotes a more powerful core engagement, compared to performing the movement with ‘matching’ kettlebells.
