| HANDSTAND NEGATIVE |

.
KEY POINTS:
•Compression is key.
•As you lower, tuck pelvis & then tuck ribs toward belly button.

Repost from @pleasantcats
|ARE YOU FRUSTRATED?|
.
THE ISSUE:
You’re failing strict muscle-up attempts due to arching in the pull.
.
THE FIX:
Easiest, most universal fix is to make sure you’re pulling in your #hollowbody when you #strict #muscleup.
.
Opening the torso and spine into extension makes you heavier and weaker. It also increases the #rangeofmotion that the #shoulder needs to travel to make it up and over the #gymnasticrings.
.
Think about the body shape and pulling position that you’re in for #leglessropeclimbs. That’s also one of your best pieces of #accessorywork for your strict muscle-up game.
.
Tag someone in your #muscleups squad that needs to be smashing strict work!

| MUSCLE MEMORY |
.
How many times do you warmup the snatch or split jerk with a PVC? Probably too many to count.
.
♂️Gymnastics skills require the same muscle memory drills!!!Jumping up to the rings & expecting your body to know what to do is absurd.
.
The athlete needs to feel body positioning, timing, & tension.
.
Here is a great drill that can be scaled up or down, depending on the thickness of the band.
.
KEY POINTS:
1.Start in a false grip.
2.Begin with rib down & tight core.
3.Pull rings in close to body as low as possible.
4.Transition by pressing elbows back, rings down & rib down into a deeper hollow.
5.Continue tension to finish position. Turn out of rings (at bottom) will help you build more control & strength.

Serious question:
Do you avoid programming ring or bar muscle ups or skip your wod that day because you can’t do them?
.
▪️That’s like never programming snatches because not everyone can RX 95/135.
.
▪️So what do you do when people can’t snatch the RX weight?
-Why, you give them lighter weight for a snatch, or have them work the snatch from the hang, which is also known as a PROGRESSION in the sport of gymnastics. Funny enough, we scale the same way for #muscleups.
.
WORK PARTS OF THE WHOLE.
-Break the MU into portions.
The pull (scale to ring pull-ups or ring rows in false grip)
The transition (work toe-assist MU)
The dip (static dip between boxes or scaled heel box ring dips).
*YES - you can do ALL of the above in the wod!
.
Will you get the same “intensity” output? NO
Remember intensity comes AFTER mechanics & consistency.
Strength & Technique first.
Intensity/Momentum last.
.
Not sure how to do this for an entire class?
It’s not difficult ONCE you KNOW the WHY & HOW behind the method.
.
If you answered YES to the first question, you click or bio link & join us for one of the most eye-opening weekends of your coaching or training career.
