Standing-pike shoulder-loading
SASS push (vertical & horizontal)
•
2m 13s
THE WHAT & HOW:
These progressive 'shoulder-loading' variations are used to condition & strengthen the anterior shoulders & upper-back muscles, as well as hip-flexion & the abdominal "crunch" toward maximising 'compression' potential (the ACTIVE forward-folding strength compressing the upper-body & legs together). As such, it pays contributions toward all inverted forms, from your 2-arm balancing handstand to straight-arm strength pressing movements.

0:50 - Standing-pike wrist-taps (2 feet)

Press & pike-walking
THE WHAT:
A locomotive pattern for developing & conditioning overhead straight-arm strength. Whilst the contexts are entirely scalable to the practitioner, a MAXIMAL effort should be made for a straight-arm, overhead press on each "step", regardless of variation.As strength & mobility come to b...

L-sit to V-sit progression
THE WHAT & HOW:
'THE L-SIT' represents another fundamental bodyweight-strength (BWS) form whereby the load of the body in its entirety is held off of the floor. That it begins in a seated position and utilises a scapular pushing mechanic with much greater "real-world" application than other BWS f... -
Parallettes 'Planche' & 'L-/V-sit'
THE WHAT:
Developing these two fundamental SAS/S forms on the low-parallettes (or optionally high 'Parallel-bars') is essentially just a shift of modality from floor, to bar-support.Despite this apparently small difference, it can affect execution quite significantly depending on the individual...
