Hi Ian, the skin the cat i a combination of shoulder mobility (extension) plus shoulder extension strenght for the first part down to the germa hang position) and shoulder flexion stre ght in order to reverse the movement. a basic strenght on pushing and pulling (both bent arm and straight arm srenght). then once a basic foundations is achieved then specific movement can be trained with many strategies: partially rom, partial leverage, mechanical avantage lever variations and so on. in the private section of the the GB forum dedicated to GB course we can dicuss deeper the exercise. keep in mind: it is not a basic exercise no matter the vast amount of stupid personal trainer saying the opposite on the web. in italy the vast majority of fistal bicep tendon injrues comes from the assumption that back lever is easy to be done more than front lever for example (i'll not consider that on the average the techinque of the fitness enthusiast is very very very poor).

Ian Almasi Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Thank you @Alessandro Mainardi! I'll see if I can find the private section to ask more questions. Do you know where it is? What I have been doing is working on dragon flag negatives with straight arms holding on a cabinet to hopefully build the strength for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The private section is the section of the RIngs one course reserve to students who have the subscription plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
