Fixing my downpicking exposed a serious alternate picking problem…

My downpicking improved fast, but my alternate picking didn’t keep up. I wasn’t okay with that. So I’m using the same method that rebuilt my downpicking in 2 months — applied directly to alternate picking.
Goal:
140 → 170 BPM in 2 months (clean, controlled, repeatable)
How I practice:
1️⃣ Short warm-up
I don’t “play through it.” I prep the exact motion I’ll use at tempo.
2️⃣ Whole-body mindfulness
Picking speed isn’t just the wrist — jaw, shoulders, breathing all matter. If the body tenses, speed stalls.
3️⃣ Wrist flick + tension release
Fast picking comes from release, not force. I reset tension constantly so the motion stays small and efficient.
If you want speed, treat it like a system — not a guessing game.
Alternate or downpicking — which is harder for you?
