Back-lever (BL) 'pulls' (conditioning context)

1m 18s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A conditioning context for the fundamental 'Back-lever' (BL) form, performed on the gymnastics rings. As with the foundational 'Skin the cat' (STC), the 'pulls' context here emphasises the more dynamic motion of pulling "in" and "out" of the BL, rather than the isometric-hold. It is, then, what the 'STC' is to the 'German-hang' (GH), with both contexts contributing to the strength & conditioning development of the lever-form in general.
Here performed with a standard PRONTAED-grip (palms facing up), where there is strong experience with the ‘supinated’ BL (palms facing the floor) it can also be performed in this grip likewise toward further strength & conditioning development.
