Fast becoming a staple for working rotational strength from the back, which I believe to be key for BJJ, on top of working rotational strength from the feet.
•
KEY POINTS:
•
1: Keep the front of the pelvis pointed up and rib cages pulled down to avoid hyperextension of the lower back. This will be key as you hit the end ranges of motion. Think of the bottom of the ribs and pelvis being two parallel “discs” that stay parallel as you rotate. •
2: keep the shoulder blades down and back, rotate elbows in towards the ribs, keep the head in a neutral position and chin tucked slightly.
•
3: work to minimise the separation of the legs as you rotate them, and avoid the legs dropping abruptly at the end.
•
P.S. the weight used on the arms is not too important, providing it fixes the upper body in place.

P.P.S. Apologies for the camera angle ?
