1a. Hollow Body Rock: 4 sets of 24s holds
1b. Shoulder Bridge Rock: 5 reps*If you can not bring your thoracic spine off the ground go to the same movement but with your feet on the ground under your knees. This is a rock, not static!
**For the shoulder bridge, rock your hips from the ground to the bridge position holding for 2 seconds at the top. Perform 5 reps.
2a: Planche Leans – Allthingsgym: 4 sets of 5
2b: Straddle Reverse Hyper Holds – 30s*Example at 3:40 mark in video. Turn the hands slightly out to allow for forward shoulder without wrists getting ruined.
