@brute.strength gymnastics core exercise: stalder leg lifts. I came up with this exercise to make gymnastics stalder strength more CrossFitty – by doing the raises for reps rather than hold and using plates for a defined ROM. You can make them harder by adding more plate height as well as by moving the plates farther away. For "Rx" most of the time I have athletes line up their heels with the center of the plate. I think the sweet spot is getting a height and distance away that makes twenty reps hard. Don't be fooled. They are harder than they look. And even if one is easy, by the time you get to twenty, if you are doing it right it burns like crazy. @brute.strength gymnastics we also incorporate stalder holds as well but this exercise is great for testing and reproducibility of stimulus. #corestrength #coreexercises #Fitness #crossfit #gymnastics #gymnasticsdr @crossfithtown @coachderrickstoltz
