Alex Chaney Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 What muscle(s) or maybe proficiency in certain movements are the best predictors in overall upper body strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I would say rope climbing and press to handstand. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Carroll Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I completely agree with Alessandro. The research I have seen shows that forearm strength is the best indicator of overall strength and Coach Sommer has produced plenty of evidence supporting press handstands as a great precursor and indicator of overall strength and athleticism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagle Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 1. Hollow Body Press (For those strong enough: Wide L-sit muscle up to press hand stand) 2. Handstand on carpet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Trinidad Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I agree with Alessandro on Rope Climb and Press Handstands but I would add Handstands too. Highest carryover transferable upper body strength is definitely Rope Climb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running speed has little to nothing to do with upper body strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
