  • Introduction to Men's Artistic Gymnastics
    Introduction to Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Foundations, Skill Progressions, and Basic Routines Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a starting point for those interested in learning Men’s Artistic Gymnastics. Although the specific audience is adults in NAIGC Developmental learning for the first time, the principles can be applied to a broader audience. Hopefully this document, along with advice from others in your gym, can provide a guide from starting Developmental to progressing to Level 9. Please look to the NAIGC ​ website for more information on NAIGC specific rules. ​ Introduction While the progressions given below are by no means the only way, most high level gymnasts followed these general foundations and skills progressions. You can always customize your gymnastics training to fit your strengths. For most adults, the easiest events to reach a Level 9 routine are Floor and Vault, as the foundation of running and jumping is something most everyone can already do. The next easiest to learn are Parallel Bars and Rings, where the foundation of swinging and support strength can be developed relatively quickly. The most difficult events to reach a Level 9 routine are Horizontal Bar and Pommel Horse. At a higher level, the foundation of both events, giants and circles respectively, are a difficult skill in their own right and can take more than a year to learn. Structure Initially, the development philosophy is described followed by the most important flexibility and strength to develop. Next there are three levels of foundations to work on of increasing difficulty. I would recommend only proceeding to the next level when you are proficient and the current one.

The top of the head should be parallel to the floor. At the beginning of each rep the neck muscles should be totally relaxed. Movement: Flexing only the neck muscles, raise the head forward and upward so that the chin is resting on the chest – pause momentarily and resist the negative to the starting position. Spotting: Place the dominant hand on the lifter’s forehead and your other hand on the lifter’s chin. Apply as much pressure as needed to accommodate for the strength curve of the neck flexors. 2.

Neck should be totally relaxed with your chin touching your chest and hands resting behind your back. Movement: Raise your head upward and backwards until in is fully extended. Pause momentarily and resist the negative to the start position. Spotting: Form a web with your hands and place them on the back of the lifters head. Begin the exercise with mild pressure and allow the lifter to raise their head in an arc that resembles a half moon. Adjust resistance according to the strength curve of the neck flexors. 3.

  • The Importance of Load Vector in Physique Enhancement and Sport
    The Importance of Load Vector in Physique Enhancement and Sport Training An Excerpt from Advanced Techniques in Glutei Maximi Strengthening Available at www.TheGluteGuy.Com By Bret Contreras, MA CSCS Most experts in the fitness industry fail to recognize the role that the load vector plays in determining hip extensor recruitment during hip extension exercises. As a case in point, most articles written on glutei maximi training recommend axial loaded exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges. But axial exercises are greatly outperformed in glutei maximi mean and peak activation by anteroposterior exercises. I don’t expect the experts to know this, as to my knowledge, I am the first author who is pointing this out scientifically. Although it’s been hinted about by strength coach Mike Boyle in the past and recently inferred (during the time I was writing this book) by vertical jump specialist Kelly Baggett, and although there have been many small-scale EMG studies performed in the scientific literature, to my knowledge a large-scale EMG study involving dozens of advanced and complex hip extension exercises has never been disclosed to the public – until now.1,2 I will discuss specific exercises and EMG data later in this book, but first let’s continue talking about load vectors. I just performed a Google search for “best glute exercises” and the first article that came up was a web document written by Ray Burton, an ISSA Certified Trainer out of Canada, entitled “Glute Exercises – My Top Three Choices.” His top three choices are reverse lunges, sumo squats, and a special step up (a hybrid step-down/assisted pistol movement), which are all axial loaded exercises.3 I’m not trying to pick on Burton, as articles like these are littered throughout the Internet and forums.

  • Calf Stretching and Strengthening Exercises
    Julie Dass Injury Clinic 108 Milton Road Phone: 01234349464 Clapham Email: [email protected] Bedford MK416as Exercise plan: Patient: Date: Calf Stretches and Strengthening Mrs Julie Dass 31st Mar 2017 Exercises Eccentric calf strengthening exercise Stand with your toes on the edge of a step or a box. Hold onto something stable for support if required. We will assume the leg you are trying to strengthen is your left leg (the injured side). Lift your left leg off the step, and go onto your toes on your right leg. Now place your left foot beside the right, and place all your weight on your left leg. Drop your heels downwards below the level of the step. Use your right leg (non-injured leg) to lift yourself back to the start position. Make sure you keep your leg straight during the exercise. This exercise can help strengthen the calf muscle and may be useful for treating Achilles tendinopathy. Full squat single leg Stand on one leg, and bend your knee to the full squat (90 degrees) position. Make sure when you squat you keep the middle of your knee cap in line with the middle toes of your foot. Do not let your knee drift off to one side. Also keep your hips and pelvis level as you squat, so you go down in a straight line. Be careful not to slump forwards as you squat, maintain good posture. Always keep your foot flat on the ground, do not let your heel raise up. Video: http://youtu.be/afJNrDNonAc Full wall squat Open your legs slightly wider than shoulder width, stand with your back resting against a wall, and bend your knees to the full squat position (90 degrees).
