High-bridge conditioning tools 2 (1-arm & 'HBPU' variations)
'Bridging' & global-extension
•
2m 15s
THE WHAT & HOW:
Contexts for expressing & developing the strength, stability, structural awareness, and adaptability of the fundamental high-bridge form. As with all regressive and progressive ‘global-extension’ forms, always work with the intention of spreading as much of this extension as EVENLY as possible through the entire length of the spine. Toward this, OBSERVE and NOTICE if, for example, greater the extension/"pressure" is felt pushing into/coming from your lower-back, whereby TIGHTING the abdominals to support the lumbar-spine both back & front and make a structural & executional adjustments to SHIFT this extension more toward the THORACIC spine/”open-shoulders” is invaluable on the road to sustainable range-development.
