The 'Hollow-Body'
Core & spinal-stability
•
1m 21s
THE WHAT:
A foundational bodyweight strength exercise which develops transferable understanding and conditioning of the fundamental "hollow-body" position. This characteristically globally-concaved structure is fundamental in that it produces maximal TENSION in the body, radiating from the inside (the "core", if you will), out to the extremities.
This means that, regardless of the body's orientation in space (inverted, suspended, or prone), any manipulation of the arms (i.e. straight or bent-arm pushing or pulling) will transfer DIRECTLY into moving the structure (i.e. your body) in space.

'Accordion' walks to 'Superman'
THE WHAT:
This context develops integrated core strength, spinal stability, and overhead shoulder-flexion support through progressively lengthened horizontal body positions. Beginning from shorter and more mechanically favourable structures, the practitioner gradually extends the body further int... -
‘Superman’ isometric & pushups
THE WHAT:
A prone, floor-based global-stability drill performed in either an isometric hold or “pushups” variation. Its optimal execution relies on an EMBODIED understanding of the "hollow-body" form, namely sustaining a strong 'neutral' spine-position through conscious posterior pelvic-tilt ('PP... -
Progressive 'Dragon-flag' & variations
THE WHAT:
The 'Dragon-flag' form is a progressive, bent-arm lever form which both develops & conditions global structural-stability, namely strength to stabilise the spine ("core-strength") under increasingly unfavourable leverage. With the "hinge" at the shoulders, everything shoulders-down serv...
