Document Summary
Kin 4kk3 lecture 16 build pillars cont. In active cobra, use extensors to lift self up: the lower of a raise, the more emphasis there is on cervical and thoracic vertebrae, higher up we raise, more emphasis on lumbar, reaching. But as we lift arms off the ground (not in quad position) we begin to challenge extensors/slightly emphasize these muscles: primary rotational stabilizers on extensor side. Similar idea with plank position when we lift hands off ground: also go into anti flexion/extension if we drop our head into flexion during plank. Anti extension: now fighting excessive extension and target our flexors. Lots of cervical extension with postural things: chin tuck - head roll mechanism - isolated to upper cervical spine counteracts this - Front plant - middle sags, fall into extension - anti-extension , contract abdominals as trunk flexors. Straighten out: until we lift arm off. Rotational control: done bird dog and mountain climber as prim.
