Foundational 'back-lever' development
SAS pull (horizontal)

2m 24s
THE WHAT:
As a straight-arm strength (SAS) form, the 'Back-lever' (BL) develops the capacity to withstand & "pull" ones bodyweight in a position of hanging shoulder-extension, i.e. with the straight-arms BEHIND the medial-line of the body.
More fundamentally, however, its progressive-development introduces the practitioner to manipulating the body in space on the gymnastics rings which improves basic kinesthetic, proprioceptive, and spatial (i.e. of movement and position of the body within & relative to space) awareness, further to lateral-expansion of one's repertoire of movements on the gymnastics rings.

'Back-lever' (BL) progressions
THE WHAT:
As with all other bodyweight-strength 'lever' forms, intensifying the 'Back-lever' is done simply through manipulation of 'mechanical-dis/advantage', namely increasing the 'load-arm' (i.e. the body) by extending the legs further from the body.Progressions here begin where 'foundationa...
