What if… Tsumego Training :: Weight Training?
Bill Phillips suggests building up in steps (hardly a new idea, treadmills have had this for years) when strength training. In other words, adjust your effort throughout the training. On an effort scale from 1-10: 1, 3, 7, 2, 4, 8, 3, 5, 9, 4, 6, 10! (or its like).
Could this be modified for Tsumego study? Example:
- 20 Easy Problems
- 5 Moderate Problems
- 10 Easy Problems
- 10 Moderate Problems
- 1 Hard Problems
- 5 Moderate Problems
- 3 Hard Problems
- 5 Moderate Problems
- 6 Hard Problems (TOT: 10)
- 10 Moderate Problems (TOT: 35)
- 20 Easy Problems (TOT: 50)
The time for each group of problems should be around 1/3 of the total time used. Assuming about a half hour:
- Easy Problems: Average of 5 seconds each (4:10)
- Moderate Problems: Average of 30 seconds each (17:30)
- Hard problems: Average of 1 minute each. (10:00)
- Total (31:40)
