A common mistake in the ring dip is having your thumbs aim at your body and your knuckles facing forward. Better anatomical position and therefore a more productive position is to turn the thumbs out and have the knuckles face away from the body. This external rotation of the shoulder allows for a more powerful pushing position.

Locked Out

IMG_7174Kai working hard

Achieving an open shoulder position is no easy task. Notice Kai's armpits are facing forward, is upper back is clearly engaged and the barbell is just behind his head without distorting his neck position. Kai could further perfect the finish position of the push press by locking out his legs, squeezing his butt and pulling his rib cage down--tightening his belly.

Vertical

IMG_7105Brent keeping it legit.

We cue vertical shins when we teach the squat.  We also are looking for vertical forearms in the dip and push up.  Quality mechanics result in better performance and often result in better joint health.  Remember we like elite fitness, but we are aiming for quality over time.  Do it right or don't bother doing it.
