Back Extension
Lock your legs into a back extension bench and allow your torso to bend
forward so that your hips are bent almost 90 degrees. Extend your hips
so that your body forms a straight line.
Hang Clean
Start by holding the bar against your body with your hands at
shoulder-width on the bar. Keeping your back in its natural curve, bend
your hips and knees (as you would in a squat), lowering the bar to just
above your knees. Explosively extend your hips as if jumping, while at
the same time shrugging your shoulders and pulling the bar straight up
in front of your torso. As the bar reaches chest level, bend your elbows
and flip your wrists to catch the bar at shoulder level.
In this stance, your palms should face the ceiling, and your
shoulders should be pointing forward. Make sure at this stage that your
back is straight, and that the bar is at your center of gravity. Bend
your hips and knees as you catch the bar to absorb the impact.
Pike-Up to Superman
Get into pushup position with your toes on the ball. Bend your hips and
roll the ball toward you so your torso becomes vertical. Roll back so
your body is straight again and extend your spine, then roll the ball up
your legs so your body forms a straight line with arms extended
overhead but hands still on the floor. You should look like Superman
flying downward. That’s one rep. Pull with your lats to return to the
pushup position and begin the next rep.
