THE WHAT (SCAPULAR-PUSHUP):
An upper-body mobilization, neuro-muscular & strength-development context form which expresses straight-arm scapular/strength (SAS/S), in horizontal pushing.
Structurally, it represents and practices a global "hollow" of the body (slight flexion from head-to-toes, like a shallow dish) combined with a strongly-protracted shoulder position (a natural curvature across the upper-back from pushing the body AWAY from the floor, effectively pulling the scapulae into close connection with the torso).

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 p... -

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 ... -

THE WHAT:
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...
