WATCH:
Want to develop better pulling strength for hanging skills like pullups and toes-to-bar? What about the muscle-up?
You can try some lat pullovers to get your body stronger: Lay arched on a bench (like you would a bench press) and with an inverted kettlebell held by the horns. Slowly lower the bell above your head towards the ground before reversing the motion. Arms should remain bent with elbows held at the same angle throughout. Focus on keeping the elbows in tight, as if between two walls on the sides of you for proper lat engagement.
SKILLS for Tuesday 1/4/2022 is the DEADLIFT

The kettlebell Figure 8 + Uppercut is a great coordination, midline stability, and strength skill if heavy enough. It’s the next step after getting reps in with the Around the World + Uppercut exercise.
Start by feeding the bell through the legs (inside to outside) and when the legs come together violently pop the hip open to get the bell to change directions then lead into an uppercut, where the bicep engages while keeping the shoulders down. Catch the bell with the free hand and pause. Initiate the next rep by pushing the bell away to cycle down through the other leg opening.

For those with weaker (or injury-prone) ankles TOE WALKING may be an accessory you add to your personal practice. Great for warmups before a jog or exercise this can be done anywhere.
Start with your knees completely locked, your butt tucked under your body, and your abs engaged. Start with a single calf raise to your absolute end-range then take very small steps forward, sideways, and backwards, moving from the hips.
Generally we would do this in lengths of 30 to 60 feet once or twice to build the strength and stamina of the muscles and joints of the lower leg, ankle, and feet.
