Unilateral / 1-arm pushing tools 1 (rings)
SASS push (vertical & horizontal)
•
4m 15s
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 alignment (i.e. resisting the natural tendency for the torso/hips to turn & create easier mechanical advantage) throughout. This effort helps to develop spinal, and therefore global, stability in horizontal-pushing contexts.

'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...

The fundamental 'AG support'
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'AG ('Artistic gymnastics') support' position allows for the development of strength to PULL and support oneself in the ranges of shoulder-extension. This is as opposed to the more passive range which is develop in shoulder-extension contexts, such as the 'German hang' positio... -

THE WHAT:
Beginning with a fundamental, vertical-support position we develop straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) in coordination with the global "hollow" structure. This structure is integral to nearly all bodyweight strength work, no matter straight-arm or bent-arm, nor the orientation of the ...
