'False-grip' (FG) Development
SASS pull (vertical & horizontal)
•
45s
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 the same time the strength of the forearm flexors will ultimately be the limiting factor determining maximal-capacity.
For these reasons, these various hanging variations serve as auxiliary training for those purposes, whilst at the same time developing experience of holding the FG at different range of ELBOW-flexion.

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 ... -
Rings ‘Knee-raise’ to ‘Toes to rings’
THE WHAT & HOW:
Linear progressions for developing strength, patterning, and familiarity with straight-arm pulling on the gymnastics rings, affecting both straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) and straight-arm strength (SAS).Along with variations of ‘Knee-to-bar’, this conditioning context emph...

Unilateral pulling contexts (rings)
THE WHAT:
Contexts for developing experience in unilateral (i.e. 1-arm) pulling, using the gymnastics rings. Whilst their practice can contribute to identifying and "unifying" strength discrepancies between sides toward supporting "structural-balance", from a more general perspective, practice of...
