'Archer' pushups
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
1m 10s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A dynamic, bodyweight pushing context incorporating alternating bent & straight-arm strength (BAS/SAS). Whilst it develops experience in deep elbow-flexion and horizontal straight-arm loading, it can also reveal weak links in elbow-integrity.
Therefore, if any painful sensations, such as from unmanaged tendinopathy symptoms, appear in the end-ranges of extension & flexion, this potent movement can easily make it worse. Cease practice and look toward less intense, rehabilitative contexts toward fully managing any overuse symptoms, before returning again.

Close-floor locomotion exploration / ...
THE WHAT & HOW:
A most fundamental context for quadrupedal locomotion practice: moving through space whilst staying as close to the floor as possible. Whilst in this effort the exploration is predominantly bent-arm oriented (hence its perspective as a practice of 'BAS pushing'), this is not stric... -
'Iron-cross' pushups
THE WHAT:
A linearly-developmental, horizontal pushing frame in the sagittal plane for strength & stability development. It allows the practitioner to explore & develop the more "open" ranges (i.e. elbow-angle) of bent-arm strength and integrating with straight-arm strength (in entering the top, ... -
Isolated ring-curls & extensions
THE WHAT:
"Isolated" contexts, in that they move around a single hinge-joint (the elbow) with a bent-arm push or pull motion. Their practice is namely toward conditioning of the elbow-tendons (i.e. attachments of the biceps and triceps), meaning that it can also be used as part of a focused progr...
