Last night we learned how to do Hollow Rocks. Get ready for more! We only did the hollow part next comes the rock. I can't begin to tell you how important this is to all your over head pressing, Jerks, handstand push ups, and pull-ups.
It's hard to explain to people how to lock your chest down and not let it push forward. Learning how to make your body tight is not an easy task.
The link below will show a video of what we are looking for. In this video you can see Greg's chest is tight and locked, chin is tucked, and toes pointed. Perfecting this movement and understand what it feels like to lock your midsection will allow you to move more weight overhead in a stronger safer way. This will get your handstand push-ups feeling better and will increase your reps.
The hollow rock works is a diagnostic tool to indentify and work on your body awareness. This helps me as your coach and you to get more bang for your buck.
