Multi-dimensional Strength

Gymnastics conditioning requires strength that is multi-dimensional and can be applied to maintain shape or generate power as the body moves, rotates or changes its orientation in space.  Yewkis are a multi-plane pulling movement which simultaneously incorporates a pull-up, a bodyweight row and a front lever.

A video demonstration of Yewkis is available here.  Please reduce the size of the picture for the greatest clarity.

An introductory essay detailing progressions and performance guidelines for Yewkis is available in the Basic Strength forum.
