False-grip (FG) ring-rows
RE-/PREHAB: Fingers, wrists. forearms & elbows
•
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.

Elbow-range rotations (CKC)
THE WHAT:
A simple exploratory, self-diagnosis & developmental tool for conditioning the elbows & wrists through the full ranges of elbow flexion & extension and in all angles, facilitated by internal & external rotations. As the hands are fixed in space and the body moves, it is fundamentally a ... -
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... -
'Curling' contexts
THE WHAT:
Contrary to the popular fitness maxim "curls get the girls", these select arm-'curling' contexts have been chosen not simply to increase the size of your "guns" (although, with consistent investment, this will occur).Rather, they represent PREHABILTIATION tools whose emphasises on bot...
