Skill month will change a little for the month of August as we will be revisiting skills we have already been through. This is to make sure you get more work on them and for you to show the work you have already put in getting better at them. It will also give us a chance to teach you some new things around those exercises to make sure everyone get where we are coming from. This is especially true for hollow rocks and “active shoulders”. We will show you more drills and progressions to improve these skills.
One of the top benefits of improving bodyweight exercises is the unquestionable increases in core strength which in turn helps all other exercises you do, even lifts. Using bodyweight exercises require you to stay balanced and in control, To do that, you need to tighten your core for periods of time and doing that will of course strengthen your core. Other than that some body weight exercises are even directed at strengthening your core such as prone holds, Russian Twists and strict Toe to Bar/hanging leg raises. This will further aid to a strong core.
As mentioned above a strong core keeps you balanced and in control when performing body weight exercises but it will also help you when lifting weights. Lifting with a strong core helps you lift more weight and safely. This will make you stronger while staying injury free.
