Fundamental 'Lizard-crawl' progressions
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
4m 8s
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'lizard crawl' is a quadrupedal locomotion pattern which develops understanding of movement through space as close to the floor as possible, WITHOUT touching the body. Before entering these lower regions, however (i.e the 'Low-lizard'), coordination, structural-awareness, strength & conditioning are developed in a range of straight & bent-arm strength (SAS/BAS) progressions, and sometimes a combination of both (i.e. 'Reach +. pushup'). Whilst beginning as a strength & conditioning-development context, the ultimately objective here is development of EFFICIENCY, i.e. learning how to make the pattern EASIER, rather than harder.

Lizard-crawl step-under
THE WHAT:
A variation on the fundamental 'lizard-crawl' to widen the vocabulary & possibilities of close-floor, bent-arm strength (BAS) quadrupedal locomotion. Whilst the 'step-under' expresses greater transverse rotation of the body, most notably it serves to keep the HIPS as CLOSE to the floor ... -
'Archer' pushups
THE WHAT & HOW:
A dynamic, bodyweight pushing context incorporating alternating bent & straight-arm strength (BAS/SAS). Whilst it develops experience in deep elbow-flexion and horizontal straight-arm loading, it can also reveal weak links in elbow-integrity.Therefore, if any painful sensations,...

Close-floor locomotion exploration / ...
THE WHAT & HOW:
A most fundamental context for quadrupedal locomotion practice: moving through space whilst staying as close to the floor as possible. Whilst in this effort the exploration is predominantly bent-arm oriented (hence its perspective as a practice of 'BAS pushing'), this is not stric...
