Reactive Abs 2: Throwing & Swimming



Last summer I gave an emample of how we might integrate the abs in with the UE in a functionally consitant manner. I gave an example in which the hips were going out-of-sync with the shoulder, running.
Now we're going hips in sync with the shoulder, a la a right handed thrower. My drivers are the R hand & foot. I'm using a L SLB, RUE posterior @ overhead L120 reach c/ 3lb. powerball; RLE @ knee height L 120 reach c/ 6lb. ankle weight.
I'm using different weights because I want the hips to lag behind the torso just a bit to create a proximal acceleration, even though they are moving in the same direction.

Hate to show my ignorance but what is "L120"?

Basically, a posterior, diagonal, opposite side reach. Now stop referring to your self as ignorant, stare at yourself in the mirror & say, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dammit, people like me! :-)
