Fundamental wall strength 1

THE WHAT:
Fundamental capacity-development & patterning for vertical pushing & pulling using a wall. Performed from the 'cat-hang' position, their objective is ultimately to develop efficiency in transitioning from below, to above, a wall from this position. From a more general perspective, then, this represents the act of 'scaling' an obstacle in one's environment.
As the wall effectively "blocks" the feet, the patterning is distinctly different from bar/ring contexts in which the legs are free to move in front of the body's frontal mid-line, whereby they counter-balance & make the movement easier/more efficient through allowance of more strictly VERTICAL force-production.
In wall contexts, however, the weight of the body is consistently pulling AWAY from the wall, making vertical-pulling, and also fundamental 'dipping', all the more challenging. The transition in the 'muscle-up' must also go through a more curved (and less efficient) trajectory in order to bring one's center of mass into support over the wall.
Strong experience with a range of foundational wall-hanging & support contexts, then, is strongly recommended to make practice of these contexts productive. Whilst grip-strength in vertical-pulling is a notable potential weak-link which this is developed, it also affects pre-conditioning (i.e. prehabilitation) of the elbows & wrists which can come under significant stress in both 'Pullup', 'Dip', and 'Muscle-up' contexts.

Fundamental wall-strength 2
THE WHAT & HOW:
This resource develops foundational straight-arm scapular strength (SASS) and straight-arm support capacity on the wall, establishing the structural qualities required for more advanced wall communication contexts. The emphasis is not simply on producing force, but on learning how... -
'Front & back' wall-support sequence
THE WHAT:
A basic, integrated straight-arm (SA) and bent-arm (BA)-support sequence, practiced on a wall to develop fundamental strength & conditioning. Whilst mostly focused on isometrics, the 'b' variations offer the option for a more dynamic stimulus. Ultimately, these forms have been chosen as... -
Wall high-straddle hold
THE WHAT:
The fundamental 'High-straddle' hold, performed atop a wall. Used primarily as a scapular-strength conditioning context here, the emphasis is more toward loading the FORWARD arm, with the intention of "lightening" and even ultimately removing the back arm to perform a single-arm support...
