'Compression' mobility-development
•
1m 34s
THE WHAT:
An integrated straddle-compression (i.e. active lifting of the extended legs) and straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) drill in the context of vertical pushing. Ultimately, these two aspects integrate into a fundamental isometric form which both serves for strength-conditioning and 'active' mobility-development. The form itself is also the 'take-off' position for the integrated straight-arm strength based handstand skill, the 'Stalder-press'.

Travelling Straddle (forward & back)
THE WHAT & HOW:
A quadrupedal locomotion pattern progressing from the 'Travelling Squat', toward functioning as both a straddle-conditioning (dynamic compression) and straight-arm scapular-strength/SASS (sustaining the weight of the body in the arms) development tool.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only...

Compression routine 1.0
THE WHAT:
"Compression" is ultimately the ACTIVE pulling together of your top & bottom-halves into a front-folded position. The two main front-folded positions are 'pike' (legs together) and 'straddle' (legs apart), and so we are essentially working to pull the LEGS toward the body whilst simulta... -
Unilateral straddle compression
THE WHAT & HOW:
A straddle-compression routine which allows for greater focus (i.e. concentrated contractions) by working 1 leg at a time, and can be practiced at any stage of compressional development.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only):
