Love it! Looking forward to seeing more!

Half kneel unilateral rotational punch ‼️
•
Defensive tackle for the Denver Broncos, Kyle, is working here to build foundational control and strength, ultimately improving his ability to drive through opposing offensive lineman. Optimal hip, core and shoulder girdle neuromuscular control are pre-requisite physical qualities, for higher level movement patterns on the football field.
•
While in a half kneel position, he must be able to maintain proper lumbopelvic-hip complex control while punching forward. With the right lower leg out of the equation, he is working hard to feed into and out of the right hip complex, optimizing the inherent connection between the upper and lower extremity.
•
•
💡A posterior vector of resistance is utilized to press forward, while rotating his trunk to the left. He is working to maximize right hip control, while he transfers and generates force through the right upper extremity. As he punches forward, he is working to utilize right anterior oblique sling musculature to create overflow between the pelvic girdle and shoulder girdle complex.
•
💡A rotational vector of resistance is provided to increase demand through core and hip musculature. Right anterior oblique sling and left posterior oblique sling musculature are working to assist the right upper extremity. When rotating to the left, he is working to maintain left scapular retraction-posterior tipping at end range, to optimize stability through the left posterior oblique sling.
•
💡Throughout the activity, he is working to dissociate his trunk from his pelvis, from the top-down, in order to maximize core function and optimize global stability.
•
•
🔑Cueing is provided to think about punching his right shoulder blade off of his trunk, while locking out the right elbow, as he punches out across his body.
•
🔑Emphasis placed on consciously locking the right hip into extension, when punching out in front of him.
•
🔑Cueing given to control closed-chain movement through the right hip complex, throughout the activity.
•
🔑Reminders given to maintain adequate intra-abdominal pressure throughout the activity.
