Rings ‘Knee-raise’ to ‘Toes to rings’
SASS pull (vertical & horizontal)
•
1m 25s
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 emphasises the intention of LIFTING the hips toward the anchor-point (rings), facilitating foundational development of straight-arm pulling into inversion (e.g. ‘Inverted hang’ and ‘Front-lever’ forms).

1-arm 'passive' & 'active' hang
THE WHAT & HOW:
The two ends of the overhead-pulling kinetic chain are the hands (connecting the arms to the anchor-point), and the scapulae (connecting the arms to the body). Developing the 'Passive' and 'Active' hang unilaterally (i.e. 1-arm), follows the same progression perspective as bilater... -
1-arm Active-hang 'Reaches'
THE WHAT & HOW:
Foundational development of 'active' pulling strength, with one arm. It is incredibly important that this is built on a strong investment in bilateral (2-arm) pulling before opening as a project due to its potency and potential to injury the unprepared shoulder, due to its intensi... -
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...
