Mobility Skills

Hi! My son has been working on his hip flexor and thoracic mobility, and was wondering how his bridge looks.

 

 

Thanks!

Basically looks good.

 

Your son has a large carrying angle which puts his hands further back then they would be otherwise. This can also lead to a lot or torque which tries to roll the elbows open. Makes sure he's not allowing the elbows to roll open on this element.

What is a carrying angle, Cole? Thanks for the great advice.

Carrying angle is the angle between the upper arm and the lower arm. If you stand in front of a mirror, arms by your side and palms facing forwards, you might notice that your lower arms move outwards a little.

 

The angle between shoulder - elbow, and elbow-wrist is the carrying angle. It's usually larger in women due to women having wider hips.
