False-grip (FG) ring-rows
BAS pull (horizontal)
•
1m 30s
THE WHAT:
A basic ring-row (HORIZONTAL pull) variation performed using a 'false-grip', for the purpose of its strength & conditioning either preparatory to, or in conjunction with, false-grip VERTICAL-pulling contexts.
Note that a false-grip SHORTENS the distance required to pull the THUMBS-TO-CHEST (always the minimal target when performing shoulder-width ring-rows), and so there is greater potential to express maximal scapular RETRACTION and local thoracic EXTENSION. This is desirable as it builds neural-drive in & strengthens what is generally the "weak-link" in the upper-body pulling chain.

Ring-row variations (shoulder-stability)
THE WHAT:
Shoulder & scapular-stability development drills using bodyweight and the convenience of the gymnastics rings, they are ultimately variations of the ‘Fundamental ring-row'. As such, global body alignment (essentially a straight-line from head to heels) is maintained in all drills.LEAR...

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... -

THE WHAT:
A potent strength-development frame for exploring bent-arm pulling strength in shoulder extension, a movement pattern rare to find outside of gymnastics-strength contexts).For this reason, you should PRACTICE WITH RESERVATION & CAUTION, starting submaximally until you are confident in...
