Episode notes
Hanging Cobra For Lateral Chain
- Hang on rings in a side-bent hanging cobra to load the lateral chain and progress to one-arm hangs.
- Use leg support initially and posterior pelvic tilt to isolate the lats and obliques.
Yoga Wheel Shoulder Flexion
- Use a yoga wheel behind the back and interlaced hands to roll into shoulder flexion and pulse to drive elbows toward the ground.
- Combine daily mobility with posterior chain strength to prepare for handstands and overhead work.
German Hang For Shoulder Extension
- Use German hangs or skin-the-cat to massively stretch pecs and shoulder extension, and add load gradually with a dip belt.
- Adjust grip width to find accessible extension without thoracic or torso compensation.
