Circuit

B

3 rounds 5 pull to push drill- maintain false grip, keep chest vertical (don't lean into the rings) 10 tight transitions- start in the bottom of the dip with a heavy band. Lower through the transition without losing contact with the rings. Immediately pull back through the transition to the bottom of the dip. 10 swings- focus on length *Swings- this is a tough skill to teach, so do your best! As you swing into hollow/toes rise, focus on pulling the rings back to create more length. As you swing into an arch/heels rise, focus on pushing the rings forward to create more length. A cue that helps most athletes is to think about hiding your ears with your shoulders throughout the entire swing.
