End Range Stability vs Hyperextension Mobility WOD

September 6, 2011 By Gregor Winter

In their series on load ordering Kelly Starret and Carl Paoli take on the topic of hyperextension.

This is especially interesting for Gymnasts with hyper extended elbows or hyper-mobility in general.

Goal: Creating stiffness at end ranges without over pressuring the joint.

For Deadlift this means getting neutral while actively pulling yourself into extension.

Loading order:

  • get braced from top to bottom
  • getting back into a good position (back loading )
  • squeezing butt , hip hamstring getting loaded
  • adjust position by bringing knees forward.
  • once down, re-tension from the other side

Apply this concept to gymnastics Iron Cross training.

Loading order

  • deepest dip with peak tension elbow
  • lock out, stiff elbow
  • from there lower into iron cross

= stiff locked out elbow but not in end range
