Hello,
Ultimately, I got involved in the practice of an interesting move - IMO of course. I currently practice the "superman push up". This move is shown in the video below:
The isometric version, called "superman plank" is also pretty interesting:
Holding the Superman plank is more challenging than holding the L-Sit for instance. It requires a great core activation. Breathing beyond the shield becomes pretty tough very fast. Indeed, as soon as we lose tension, we tend to arch the lumbars.
In both cases, it requires using full tension to avoid arching the lumbars. Glutes and harmstrings have to be tight as well, otherwise, it could lead to bent legs. Shoulder and elbow lock are crucial here. I noticed that a lock which is not complete makes the move far less stable. Bending the elbow outwards also reduce tension in the neck.
We could even think about a OA version of the plank (or push up)...or a OAOL Version.
Kind regards,
Pet'
