Guest ilove2workout28 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 What's a good way to do this? I can do a full back lever, but my biceps/biceps tendons wind up straining and giving out so it's hard for me to maintain the position. Any thoughts?

Blairbob Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've been thinking lately that warming up with some supinated skin the cats, ring support holds, dips, and MU may be a good WU. It's been somewhat aggravating when I've just hopped on to the rings and down them (because someone wanted to learn how to do them besides my guys in the adult class).

Guest ilove2workout28 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 wouldn't skin the cat work the same area as back lever WITHOUT holding the position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Skin the cat, tucked/piked 360 does move through the motion of back lever but it's tuck and piked so it's less load and you're not holding the static position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 in addition to stretching it, you may also want to do an easier progression to warm up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim Andersson Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ive had problems with my elbows when working BL aswell. Doing sets of 100 fast weightless bicep curls in different angles together with a bit of stretching and forearm warmup has helped my elbows alot.
