Skin the Cat - Floor Entry

CUES:

• Cling to a shoulders to ring hold and raise the knees with control

• In a tight tuck lean back and slowly straighten the arms to flip the body over

• With straight legs and straight arms slowly receive the floor with your feet

• Lower into your deepest shoulder extension stretch then engage strong active protraction to begin raising out of the hang

• Assist the exit by straightening the legs

• Pull back up to the start position and lower the legs down slowly in front

Mistakes:

• Using momentum to enter and assist the pull over

• Using the legs to raise out of the german hang without first engaging strong active protraction

• Jumping to assist the exit

  • Use lower rings so the legs can push longer

  • Failing to return to a shoulders to rings position/exiting without control
