IN FOCUS: 'Lat-activated' scapular pushup & tuck-planche
SASS push (vertical & horizontal)
•
4m 3s
THE WHAT:
Bringing attention to a subtle, yet significant, additional-intention which maximally "unifies" the strength of the upper-body "hollow" structure for transferability to the straight-arm 'Scapular-pushup' and 'Planche' variations, as well as bent-arm pushing such as the 'Protract-/Pike pushup'. By bringing the large muscles of the lats into play, they connect with the pectorals & serratus anterior to form a stable "platform" atop which bodyweight can be support.

THE WHAT:
Contexts for developing an understanding of floor-based unilateral pushing in the horizontal plane. Focus is on differentiation between ROTATIONAL (RO) and ANTI-ROTATIONAL (AR) intention. Whilst the former, 'RO', is more efficient (it allows for & works with the body's natural tendency ... -

Contexts for developing unilateral pushing mechanics, patterning, and capacity using the more unstable modality of the gymnastics rings. These exercises are all characterised as ANTI-rotational (AR) patterns, requiring a sustained effort to keep the shoulders & hips in horizontal alignm... -
'Table-top' isometric variations
THE WHAT:
A fundamental straight-arm shoulder-extension context for mobility, strength, and structural-balance development (i.e. to "balance out" overhead pushing/shoulder-flexion contexts).Whilst the fundamental bilateral context (i.e. both hands & feet on the ground) helps to diagnose, develo...
