Foot-assisted 'Active-arch' & 'Lever-retractions'
SASS pull (vertical & horizontal)
•
2m 19s
THE WHAT & HOW:
Practice of these foot-assisted 'Active-arch' contexts is valuable to practitioners who have difficulty in pulling the shoulder-blades together (i.e. maximal scapular-retraction) in bodyweight-loaded contexts.
As with the foundation 'Ring-row' when executed with retracted, isometric-holds, increased time-under-tension (TUT) in this end range helps to develop neuro-muscular efficiency/"neural-drive" in a local form (scap-retracted & thoracic-EXTENDED) which is integral to ultimately achieving the likes of a 'strict' chest-to-bar pullup, or 'Muscle-up'. This assistance-context also has value in the development of stability in the process of injury-rehabilitation.

Hanging scapular circles & sequence
THE WHAT (circles):
A loaded scapular mobilization contexts which coordinates active protraction, retraction, elevation & depression of the scapulae with global extension and flexion of the spine.As well as a context for "oiling" the scapulae (i.e. encouraging synovial fluid & blood-flow in th...

'False-grip' (FG) Development
THE WHAT:
'False-grip' (FG) development is oriented around two connected capacities: mobility, and strength development. This is because the 'FG' is mechanically at its strongest when a toward 90° angle of wrist-flexion is available when gripping the rings (i.e. it is maximally "closed"), but at ... -
'Passive' & 'Active' hanging 'L-sit'
THE WHAT:
Fundamental "core" and straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) development contexts affected by lifting & extending of the legs toward a full 'L-sit' form, and holding isometrically. At the same time, it also teaches basic manipulation of 'mechanical advantage' with the legs; essentially ...
