Vertical Pull The latissimus dorsi are powerful muscles for athletic performance but they also have a tendency to derail shoulder stability and trunk posture. 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.
What series of strength exercise would, if performed optimally, demonstrate the extremes of human movement and maximally test local and global stability strategies with high relevance to sports performance? The Mastery Theme houses these exercises across all 14 Exercise Categories. The most extreme demands of multiple Exercise Categories completely converge leaving absolutely nowhere for movement deficiencies to hide. These exercises demonstrate an exquisite balance of strength, flexibility and reactive stability and represent elite movement competency in a gym setting.
