    ...anyone ever try it? Thoughts?

    I find it makes extremely aware of your balance, and what your body is doing.

    Also, on difficult sets, it's quite meditative.

    I did it on my back off sets today.
    I don't know about doing it with a heavy single though.

    If there's any SSCs down here, ever coach a blind person?
    What was that like?

    Yes, accidentally. An SSC in the room happened to be in the room at the time and told me not to, or he would tell Rip on me. Also happened during power cleans.

    My eyes can get a little squinty during heavy ones, which narrows my field of view, but I don't aim to close them. Finding a fixed spot to stare at is my goal.
