Tuck-planche pushups (TPPU)
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
56s
THE WHAT:
An integrated SAS ('Tuck-planche') and BAS ('Protracted pushup'/PPU) strength development & maintenance context which requires strong foundational development in those individual forms for successful & productive practice. Whilst demonstrated on steps, it is also possible to practice on high or low parallel bars.
You should ensure, however, that the toes MINIMALLY clear the top of the elevated surface in the top position; this determines that a fully locked-out ‘Tuck-planche’ was achieved on each rep.

Fundamental 'Lizard-crawl' progressions
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, stre...
