Jeffrey Fialko Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 In descriptions of the manna, I see it stated often that manna strength/work will carry over to later ring strength. I'm staying off of rings (except for the occasional supports) for now, but I'm curious as to why and how the manna will aid in ring strength? Does it have to do with the shoulder conditioning needed for the manna? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Léo Aïtoulha Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Mastering Manna provides :- Basic shoulder extension which is required to benefit from Back Lever training and to avoid injuries- Basic tricep strength- Basic core strength (abs, hips ; middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, lats - because of the required scapular retraction)- Basic bicep conditioning if hands are pointing backwards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Fialko Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cool, thanks. That was basically what I was thinking. I actually hadn't thought of the shoulder extension carrying over to BL work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Li Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 - Basic bicep conditioning if hands are pointing backwardsManna doesn't really stress the biceps much if at all regardless of hand position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Manna doesn't really stress the biceps much if at all regardless of hand position. This is incorrect. There is quite a bit of stretch on the insertion of the bicep at the top of the manna position. And if improperly prepared for, will result in injury to the elbow if the student is stubborn and attempts to push thru the pain.
