EMOM Hollow Hold + Rocks, Arch Hold + Rocks
Alternating Minutes for 10 Min Odds- :20 hollow hold + 10 hollow rocks Evens- :20 arch hold + 10 arch rocks For many the arch position is weaker than the hollow positions and these rocks will be tricky. Think of holding your core and legs as tight as possible and just like on our pull-ups inititate the movement from your shoulders. We do this by lifting our chest, then our legs alternating with a tight core to rock our body. These do not have to be perfect, but the tighter the better here. Arms above the head is best, scale to arms by your side if necessary.

Box Assisted Kipping Drills
Box Assisted Kipping Drills This is for understanding what the kip feels like and the action that needs to happen to get us to use our momentum effectively. For Kipping Movements the goall is to find the Arch to Hollow Push and Pull. Pulling up to the bar to get your chin over the bar, and push away from the bar to create enough momentum to go into our next repition. For Butterfly movements our goal is to create a circle where our top position is behind the bar and the fall foreward arch position allows us a big enough circle to pull into our next rep. For Muscle Ups were are connecting our arch to our pull to feel when the turn over should happen. 8 sets of 3 connected- rest about 1:00 in between attempts. IMPORTANT- the first 2-3 sets are about movement discovery, then we need to pick a repeatable scale we are using correctly. If this is not possible, please scale back one movement. Kipping Pull-Up- Box Assisted Push Away Drill starting with your chin above the bar, chin must be above the bar every rep Kipping Chest to Bar- Box Assisted Push Away Dril- Starting with your chest making contact with the bar, chest must make contact every rep Butterfly Pull-Ups- Two Foot Box assisted circle drill, chin must start above the bar every rep, chin must clear the bar every rep Butterfly Chest to Bar- Two Foot Box assisted Circle Drill, chest must start against the bar, chest must make contact with the bar every rep.
