THE WHAT & HOW:
*7 progressions for QDR rotational pushups (numbered incorrectly from 4) as preparation toward 'QDR circles'.

A progressive mobility form developing global extension and (other than 'Posting') a rotational pattern which facilitates seamless entrance & exit from a back-bridge position.As with its shorter brother, the 'Low-bridge rotation', this intrinsic rotational quality opens up immediate c...

THE WHAT:
The 'low bridge' is a context which has the dual benefit of developing mobility in the anterior chain, as well opening up movement possibilities. As the lumbar spine is also in a much more neutral position than in a high-bridge, for example, it can still be practiced even by those with ... -
'Back-switch' variations
THE WHAT:
The 'back-switch' is a basic arm transition which switches from side-to-side through a reverse-support position. It is ultimately plugged into floor-communication sequences as a transition which takes the body from a quadrupedally prone position (belly facing floor) through supine and b...
