Connor Davies Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So.... I have no idea how to do this. In say, a support hold, I can retract my scapula and get my hips in line with my hands, but I have no idea how to push them in front of the hands. I know it's possible, because you need to do it for a manna or for korean dips, but I just can't figure it out. It's not even a lack of strength, because when I try it I don't feel any particular strain in my muscles, but I just can't push my hips in front of my hands. At all. I've tried pushing forward from a P-Bar support hold and nothing happens. I can't do a back support on a straight bar. It just doesn't work. Help please?

Mikkel Ravn Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So if you're doing a support hold on a bar, you're literally sitting on the bar? Surely you must be able to slide your butt over the edge of the bar, and ending up in the bottom position of a dip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 If I'm trying a back support on a straight bar, I'm in contact with the bar. I can't push forward so only my hands are on the bar. I could try dipping I suppose, but I'd think I should have the support hold down first...

Mikkel Ravn Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Haven't tried, so I don't know how hard it is. I can however do Korean dips, and you don't have to have a no-butt-touch support for that. K dips are quite dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Ravn Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Btw, for a manna, you're in a hollow position, for K dips you're arched, which makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
