Unilateral / 1-arm pushing tools 1 (floor)
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
7m 44s
THE WHAT:
Contexts for developing an understanding of floor-based unilateral pushing in the horizontal plane. Focus is on differentiation between ROTATIONAL (RO) and ANTI-ROTATIONAL (AR) intention. Whilst the former, 'RO', is more efficient (it allows for & works with the body's natural tendency to 'rotate' the load toward the supporting arm) the latter.
'AR', is a much "stricter" pattern, emphasising a sustained effort to keep the shoulders & hips in horizontal alignment (i.e. resisting the natural tendency for the torso/hips to turn & create easier mechanical advantage) throughout. This added effort further stimulates development of spinal, and therefore global, stability in horizontal-pushing contexts.

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 (simi... -
'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...
