Our Kieser Lift Variations are a great example of how we slowly progress most exercises!
A general rule for movement progressions from start to end:
– Limit the amount of joints involved
– Introduce more joints
– Increase the stability demands
– Make the movement more dynamic
- Take away the legs = Tall-Kneeling
- Bring one leg into the equation = Half-Kneeling
- Increase the stability demands = Isometric Hold
- Make the movement more dynamic = Dynamic Lift
- Remove the demand of one leg while maintaining explosiveness = Box Dynamic Lift
The Lift: Is a core exercise that teaches us how to properly transfer energy.
REMEMBER:
➡️ The core functions to prevent motion rather than to initiate it.
➡️ It is a transfer mechanism.
➡️ When power is generated in the hips, it is transmitted through the stiffness/stability of the core.
⬆️Slow progressions. Give your body the opportunity to learn the movement and control it. Own each phase before progressing.
