Shrimp to 'arc & reach' integration
Bodyweight (BW) unilateral leg-strength
•
2m 39s
THE WHAT:
A unilateral integration which requests and develops strength & mobility through a convenient anterior/posterior-chain pairing: the isolated 'Shrimp squat', and already-integrated 'Arc & reach' (note that the 'Open/close'-hip patterning in progressions of the latter is NOT emphasised). Familiarity with those patterns and their variations in focused practice is therefore recommended.

Single-leg 'Good-morning' & 'RDL'
THE WHAT:
Due to the sheer strength-potential of the posterior-chain and limitations in applying "mechanical dis-/advantage" in form & structure, it is difficult to effectively load unilateral-hinging patterns without the addition of external load (unlike the 'Shrimp squat', for example, which of... -
'Shoulder-bridge'
THE WHAT:
The 'Shoulder-bridge' and its variations provide an easily accessible bodyweight context for stimulating the posterior-chain (namely hamstrings, glutes and lower-back) for a range of purposes.For those unfamiliar with lower-bodyweight contexts, it can serve as a strength developer in ...

The 'Pistol-squat'
THE WHAT:
A bodyweight squat, performed on one leg. Rather than simply an expression of raw strength, however, its controlled execution is significantly facilitated, or "blocked", by the in-/availability of lower-body ranges.As with the 'Shrimp squat', restrictions in ankle dorsiflexion prevent...
