Gymnastics on the menu today!

Outside of the Kettlebell Press, today is all about body control. When training static positions as seen in much of the assistance work, your focus should be on maintaining total body tension and creating the best body lines possible. It can be helpful to mentally “scan” your body from the feet up and see if you can create more tension and connection as you go up. For example in the handstand hold are your toes pointed with the feet squeezed together? Are your inner thighs and quads engaged? Whats your lower back and pelvis doing? The stiffer you make yourself the stronger you will be in that position. Below is a short video just about the Ring Support. Get after it today!
