Kieser Lift Variations


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

  1. Take away the legs = Tall-Kneeling
  2. Bring one leg into the equation = Half-Kneeling
  3. Increase the stability demands = Isometric Hold
  4. Make the movement more dynamic = Dynamic Lift
  5. 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.
