'Tempo-pushup' progressions
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
2m 41s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental bodyweight, horizontal-push context known by everyone, practiced by many, and yet mechanically-understood by very few. In this program we forgo ANY practice of a floor-variation, performed on the knees - rather, we opt for using an ELEVATED-SURFACE as a regression in working toward the floor, whilst manipulating the TEMPO of the movement to develop strength.
Performing a 'Pushup' on the knees is a suboptimal because it significantly shortens the length of the 'lever', going from the shoulders to the feet.

The 'Protracted pushup'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental strength context developing strength & integrity of the fundamental scapular-protracted/"hollow-body" structure, in combination with horizontal, bent-arm pushing.This is ultimately the same structure & execution used in progressive bent-arm strength (BAS) forms, wh...

QDR isometric hold
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'QDR' ('queda de rins'/"elbow on the kidneys") is an upper-body support predominantly used in the practice of Capoeira for catching a fall/evasive manoeuvre, and transitioning through a range of dynamic forms.Whilst it is essentially a very efficient support in that the bod...
