The shoulder is a highly mobile joint and is often the victim of poor posture, low levels of strength and poor transfer of energy through the kinetic chain.
Vertical Pull The latissimus dorsi are powerful muscles for athletic performance but they also have a tendency to derail shoulder stability and trunk posture by pulling the shoulder toward the hip.
The Vertical Pull category is designed to harness and tame the power of latissimus dorsi with a major focus on shoulder and trunk postures to resist destructive postures and optimise it’s powerful role within the kinetic chain.
That taming of Latissimus Dorsi’s power is important in all Upper Body Categories but none more so as in the Vertical Push Category in allowing Upward Scapula Rotation.
The Corrective Theme is the initial phase of a 4-part movement hierarchy.
This Theme contains exercises which promote good movement quality first. Here we expose range of motion deficits & poor coordination that will derail progression & transfer of training. Exercises in the Corrective Theme stimulate reflexive stabilisation in optimal postures at priority joints with dynamic control that will scale to support more complex exercise variations.
