Core Routine & Scapular Technique
On this occasion, I was able to attend the bar park where I usually train my students to perform a core routine.
The afternoon went by as usual, and while I was organizing the routine for a couple of students, I focused on correcting the technique of one of them. He was performing leg tucks while hanging from the bar; however, he has the bad habit of "shrugging his shoulders up to his ears" when the proper technique is to perform scapular depression with scapular retraction. It is basically bringing your shoulder blades together and sticking your chest out while lowering your shoulders. I took photos of him before and after applying the proper technique, and the difference is remarkable. Nevertheless, I will consider assigning him sets of scapula pull-ups later on so he can build proper proprioception and technique.
For my part, I performed several sets of toes-to-bar. After doing freestyle for a long time, there comes a point where doing toes-to-bar actually feels like a break. However, to add some real difficulty, I performed a couple of sets of toes-to-bar while hanging from just one arm.
Teaching proper scapular engagement is fundamental for preventing injury and building true structural strength on the bars. Capturing the visual contrast between poor posture and correct depression helps students internalize body awareness much faster.
Escalating standard core exercises to single-arm variations keeps training challenging even when foundational movements become second nature. I hope these photographs highlight the technical details and energy of our session today.
I hope you enjoyed these photographs. Without anything more to add, I bid farewell. Stay tuned for future posts! Until next time!
En esta ocasi贸n pude asistir al parque de barras donde suelo entrenar a mis alumnos para realizar una rutina de core.
La tarde transcurr铆a con total normalidad, y aunque estaba organizando la rutina de un par de alumnos, me centr茅 en corregir la t茅cnica a uno de ellos. 脡l estaba realizando leg tucks colgado a la barra; sin embargo, posee la mala costumbre de "pegarse los hombros a las orejas", cuando la t茅cnica apropiada es realizar una depresi贸n escapular con retracci贸n escapular: es b谩sicamente juntar los om贸platos y sacar el pecho mientras bajas los hombros. Le tom茅 fotos antes y despu茅s de aplicar la t茅cnica apropiada y el resultado es notorio; sin embargo, considerar茅 asignarle series de scapula pull-ups m谩s adelante para que genere la propiocepci贸n y t茅cnica apropiada.
Yo, por mi parte, realic茅 varias series de toes-to-bar. Luego de hacer freestyle, claro, llega un punto en que hacer toes-to-bar representa un descanso para ti. Sin embargo, para a帽adir algo de dificultad, realic茅 un par de series de toes-to-bar pero colgado de un solo brazo.
Ense帽ar una correcta activaci贸n escapular es fundamental para prevenir lesiones y desarrollar una verdadera fuerza estructural en las barras. Capturar el contraste visual entre una postura deficiente y la depresi贸n adecuada ayuda a los alumnos a internalizar la conciencia corporal mucho m谩s r谩pido.
Llevar los ejercicios b谩sicos de core hacia variaciones a un solo brazo mantiene el entrenamiento desafiante, incluso cuando los movimientos fundamentales se vuelven autom谩ticos. Espero que estas fotograf铆as resalten los detalles t茅cnicos y la energ铆a de nuestra sesi贸n de hoy.
Espero que hayan disfrutado de estas fotograf铆as. Sin m谩s que agregar me despido, est茅n atentos a los pr贸ximos post. 隆Hasta la Pr贸xima!
