Jon Dorsey Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi, I was wondering whether the shoulders should be covering the ears (elevated like in a handstand) or pulled tight into the socket during inlocates and dislocates with a stick, when dislocating to a handstand from manna, and when inlocating to a german hang on rings (or a bar). Is there a difference for the 3 of them? In general during pressing I like to keep the shoulder elevated and during pulling I keep it down in the socket, so I don't know if that would mean that the shoulder positions change for inlocates/dislocates. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Dorsey Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 During these pass thrus, elevate the shoulders at the top.I suspected that would be the answer, since my shoulders seem more flexible in that position. How do I condition the shoulders to hold to my weight during the pass thru in an elevated position (for a slow inlocate)? Right now when I do it, if my shoulders are not pulled in tight, it's extremely uncomfortable. I'm not seriously concerned with developing the aforementioned skills (and I know that I should not until I lay a foundation of more basic strength and flexibility), this is more of a thought experiment. I'm just very interested with the finer details of gymnastic movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
