Loaded-carrying contexts
Spinal-stability & auxiliary "core" conditioning
•
3m 8s
THE WHAT:
Lifting a heavy load, and walking. Two fundamental facts of life which, at first glance, can seem of insufficient intensity to compare to the likes of a 'Back squat' or 'Deadlift' - but there is a reason why forms of loaded-carrying are a staple of all 'Strongman' events.
The load can be near-maximal for the given distance/time walked, with the weak-link being not so much optimal form & execution as in heavy squat & hinge patterns, but, more immediately, raw GRIP-strength. This is specifically developed in the 'plate'-carrying contexts which require a grip resembling that of the climber's 'pinch'.

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... -
Floor 'Butcher's block'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental & easily accessible context for development of the 'open-shoulder' position (facilitating overhead arm-flexion range) in a loaded, isometric context. As part of its form & execution, the 'hollow-body' position is also drilled & conditioned in a prone position, resist... -
'Iron-cross' pushups
THE WHAT:
A linearly-developmental, horizontal pushing frame in the sagittal plane for strength & stability development. It allows the practitioner to explore & develop the more "open" ranges (i.e. elbow-angle) of bent-arm strength and integrating with straight-arm strength (in entering the top, ...
