BAS pull (horizontal)
In most cases, investment in the world of horizontal-pulling is initially concerned with development of fundamental neuro-muscular efficiency, or “NEURAL-DRIVE”, in the scapular-musculature. As with ‘SASS pull’ contexts, which emphasise development of scapular-retraction/depression under load (or, more simply/accurately, “resisting/producing” force against gravity), BAS horizontal-pull takes this one step further by INTEGRATING it into a wider dynamic, pulling-chain (i.e. including the arms).
In application, this is represented by the most fundamental bodyweight ‘Row’ context, in which support from the feet on the floor both establishes the horizontal-pull direction as well as its characteristic quality of being easily scalable for a wide range of strength-capacities, at every stage of the journey. In order to express this maximal-strength through a FULL range, however, we return to the potential of the scapulae to express their FUNCTION of scapular-retraction/depression toward developing the foundations for an optimally-“UNIFIED” upper-body pulling-chain.
