The Bent-arm Stand (BASt)
BAS push (vertical)
•
2m 46s
THE WHAT:
The 'Bent-arm Stand' is a bodyweight, bent-arm isometric form held in an inverted position, making it an overhead, vertical-pushing context. Practicing this form both requires and develops an embodied understanding of optimal local & global structure, as well as fundamental pushing mechanics. Further to an isometric form, it can also contribute to the understanding & development of the freestanding 'Handstand pushup'.

Protracted Pike-pushup (PPPu)
THE WHAT:
The 'Protracted pike-pushup' is an OVERHEAD, bent-arm, bodyweight-pushing context. As with its isometric counterpart, the 'Bent-arm stand', the form of PPPu is built around an unmoving, central "platform" (a protracted upper-body "hollow" above the two supports of your bent-arm structur... -
'L-sit' to 'Elevated bent-arm stand' ...
THE WHAT:
An integration of SAS (straight-arm-strength) in the fundamental 'L-sit' form and BAS (bent-arm strength) in a progression for the 'Bent-arm stand'. In bringing these movements together, focus is on developing the optimal mechanics & patterning to bring them together through a seamless ... -
Rings bent-arm support
THE WHAT & HOW:
Taking the 'bent-arm support' from stable elevation to the unstable rings requires transferability of form, position, and mechanics whilst maintaining integrity of structure with additional "noise" added to the context (i.e. the instability).Whilst the general cues related to th...
