Fundamental front-lever (FL) variations
SAS pull (horizontal)
•
4m 45s
THE WHAT:
As a straight-arm strength (SAS) form, the 'Front-lever' (FL) develops the capacity to withstand isometrically & "pull" one’s bodyweight in & out of a position of hanging shoulder-flexion, i.e. with the straight-arms in FRONT of the medial-line of the body.
Whilst this has application to climbing contexts, i.e. lifting the hips higher in an "overhang" context to work more with the feet, more fundamentally its progressive-development introduces the practitioner to manipulating the body in space, improving basic kinesthetic, proprioceptive, and spatial (i.e. of movement and position of the body within & relative to space) awareness. It also offers potential to integrate the form into strength-sequences on the gymnastics-rings.

'Bottom-up' & 'Dynamic' FL-pulls

Auxiliary 'Front-lever' conditioning
THE WHAT:
Two simple conditioning tools for supportive-development of straight-arm pulling and the 'Front-lever' (FL) form. The first - 'Ice-cream makers' - integrates both bent-arm and straight-arm strength (BAS/SAS) by entering/exiting the 'FL' form, providing a moderate forearm strength-develo... -
'Windshield-wipers' (WW) & 'Meathook'...
THE WHAT:
Both contexts exploring hanging transverse-rotation in a "piked" front-lever form, the 'Windshield wipers' (WW) are a patterning & conditioning context, whilst the 'Meathook' (MH) is an isometric-form which might well be classed as a skill.For this reason they cannot really be seen as...
