Rings bent-arm planche (BAP)
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
53s
THE WHAT:
A bent-arm strength form whose isolated practice (either holding isometrically, or transitioning through it slowly) develops strength of the biceps and anterior-shoulder, with particular emphasis on tendon integrity. As the arms are loaded under bodyweight in a HORIZONTAL position (similar to, but notably different from, the VERTICALLY-oriented 'Bent-arm stand'/BASt form,), there is SIGNIFCANT stress on the connective tissues of the biceps at both the shoulder-origin and elbow-insertion. For this reason, the practitioner should develop strong experience wit similarly-loaded, but less intense, patterns, such as the 'Korean dip' and the 'Pelican curl'.

'Negativa pushups' (lateral pressing ...
THE WHAT:
The 'Negativa' pushup explores a fundamental pressing pattern which has its roots in the art of Capoeira. It has been abstracted here for the value it has in teaching LATERAL bent-arm pushing mechanics. This essentially means that the press is performed sideways in the FRONTAL/CORONAL P... -
Fundamental 'Lizard-crawl' progressions
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'lizard crawl' is a quadrupedal locomotion pattern which develops understanding of movement through space as close to the floor as possible, WITHOUT touching the body. Before entering these lower regions, however (i.e the 'Low-lizard'), coordination, structural-awareness, stre... -
Lizard-crawl step-under
THE WHAT:
A variation on the fundamental 'lizard-crawl' to widen the vocabulary & possibilities of close-floor, bent-arm strength (BAS) quadrupedal locomotion. Whilst the 'step-under' expresses greater transverse rotation of the body, most notably it serves to keep the HIPS as CLOSE to the floor ...
