I am greasing the groove with OAPUs. I have a Rogue box in my office so I can train during the day (yep, I’m “that guy”). Two or three weeks ago, I went from a 30” elevation to 24”. Some days I revert back to 30” for 3 reps, but mainly do singles at 24” (maybe 4 days at 24” and 2 at 30”).
On several of my 24” sets, the foot on the same side as my working hand slips backwards as I descend (probably around the halfway point or lower). I can still push myself up once my foot stops sliding, but I don’t know why it slides to begin with. It doesn't happen on 30” sets.
I do train on carpet wearing boots, which is probably a contributing factor. Is it just a result of the angle I’m at relative to the floor and where my force is going for the static stomp? I try rooting the ball of that foot into the floor hard, but it doesn’t stop the slide when it decides to happen. Any ideas?
