Finn Frank Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I was watching s gymnastic strength video and came across this movement I hadn't seen before. I was wondering what you're opinions on the movement were?Check out around 0.18 - 0.26 although I think the rest of the video is worth a watch 1egn6D4T82E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Griffin Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 This guy seems pretty strong, yet even HE used a lot of momentum on that movement. Seems kinda cool, but inaccessible for a lot of people.I dub this exercise the "Hanging Natural Leg Curl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Frank Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 I guess you could do this with your torso tucked in. Keeping your body closer to the anchor might make it more accessible. I mean a full GHR without much momentum is pretty inaccessible for most of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Chubb Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 You could simply have the person sit closer to your knees to make it easier. I have thought about doing these with NLCs! Definitely something to take easy though so the knees don't get aggravated. I am wondering if the benefits are worth the time and risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Frank Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 @ Philip That is more or less what I was wondering, if the benifits of this movement would be worth the investment and potential risks or if its just a show off move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Chubb Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 @ Philip That is more or less what I was wondering, if the benifits of this movement would be worth the investment and potential risks or if its just a show off move Exactly! I also feel like if it was such a good variation and provided a lot of benefit, that Coach would have had it in the book. I am considering playing with it though because I am basically done the NLC progressions and almost want a new leg move to conquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 We have never done this movement. But it looks interesting IF someone were strong enough to handle it. If you do decide to experiment with it, please drop us a note later and let us know if the movement was worthwhile.Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Frank Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks for replying to this thread Coach, good to hear what you think. I will have a go if I'm strong enough and report back . It will be good to hear anyone else's experience with this movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Chubb Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thank you for responding Coach. I thought that you maybe thought the exercise was not worth the time. If that isn't the case, I think I will start today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Chubb Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well for my first post about it, I hung my rings on a banister that lets me use the ceiling above me as a workout machine. So the exercise works. If you want an idea about how hard it was, I had to use a rope and partially pull up to make it happen. . I can do a one legged GHR so this is going to compliment it well! I am not sure of how much it will transfer to other things though. Quads aren't supposed to help that much for jumping as opposed to the hamstrings.

Philip Chubb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I said I would write about these before and I have been doing them a while to the point where I don't really need the rope. I notice that I am jumping higher and the height of my tumbling has improved. I am actually not able to jump as hard as I could in my house because I am afraid of hitting my head on the ceiling.

Philip Chubb Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Updates?Well I did it for a while and now its only hard at the top. It helped a little I believe because I'm tumbling a lot higher. But that could be from all the other not so normal things that I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
