Q

Name three guidelines on plank between two sets of curl.

A
  1. Plank rests students’ necks, so you can do an clam variation, plank, then low curl.

  3. Do not give two planks during or after curl.

A
  1. Do not demonstrate by scissoring arms quickly (or with weights).
  2. Do not demonstrate by reaching both arms forward at the same time.

Q

What are the choreographic guidelines for OWLs?

A

Large range bends where head of weight comes all the way to shoulder and extends all the way out must be at a two-count tempo.

Reserve bend-stretches for more advanced classes, beginners need to practice just lifting from the backs of their shoulders

30
Q

What are the benefits of doing OWLs with palm downwards?

A

Contracts parts of the rotator cuff, lats, triceps, and deltoids, resulting in a stronger, more stable joint.

31
Q

What are the choreographic/safety guidelines for palm downwards OWLs?

A
  1. Give it as an option - rotating outward may be hard for students with rotator cuff issues
  2. Do not give bend stretches
  3. Teach only lifts of presses in
32
Q

What will you see in OWLs from students who have tight hamstrings?

A

Trouble squaring their hips without tucking. Look to see that their ribs and shoulders are level and that their back is straight. Avoid squaring hips.

33
Q

What will you see in OWLs from students with spine issues?

A

They will have trouble getting a straight back. They can play with the position of their back foot to stabilize their stance.

34
Q

What will you see in OWLs from students with a sway back?

A

Have a hard time keeping hips level and backs/hips aligned. Don’t over-correct hips because students will feel it in their standing side hip

35
Q

What are the modifications for OWLs?

A
  1. Face the bar and hold on with supporting side hand for balance/stability
  2. Work with torso up higher (pregnant, people with tight hamstrings)
  3. Wrist/shoulder injuries can do with no weight
36
Q

What are the challenges for strong students in OWLs?

A
  1. Use heavier weighs (Kendra says no - within reason?)
  2. Horizontal working arm
  3. Keep front knee directly over ankle
37
Q

How are plank rocks and knee bends counted?

A

On tempo, one count per complete rep

38
Q

What are the maximum number of pushups that you can give after ILLs?

A

Level 1 - 15-20
Mixed Level - 20-30
Strong classes and L2 - 20 - 40

39
Q

How many RPUs should you give?

A

L1: 20-25
Mixed level: 30-35
Advanced: 30-45

40
Q

What are the safety restrictions for heel lifts?

A
  1. Full range only (no little ups on releve)
  2. No faster than pulse tempo
  3. No ball between thighs (hard on outer knees)
  4. No narrow V
41
Q

What are the initial pushups maximums at different tempos?

A

10 in 4 count
20 in 2 count
40 on tempo
30 at pulse tempo

Any combo the above that equals 40 on tempo with the exception of not giving more than 30 pulse tempo at a time

42
Q

What is the max straight/soft arm hold that you can give before pushups or a stretch?

A

20 pulse tempo. You may give multiple sets of 20 straight or soft arm holds by having students release and do a stretch in between.

43
Q

Why do legs need to be hip width apart in pushups?

A

So you can tuck your hips under. If your knees are together, the rectus femoris pulls on the pelvis and causes an arch.

44
Q

Can students use a ball between their thighs during pushups?

A

No

45
Q

What are the setup guidelines for students who do pushups at the bar?

A

They can have their heels flat or lifted

46
Q

Who modifies pushup with a plank?

A

Only those with a MAJOR wrist injury. Shoulder injuries will NOT benefit from doing a plank. Discourage students from doing this because this is the only time students truly work their pecs.

47
Q

Why is it important to bring students up to a puppy stretch if they’ve gone directly to child’s pose after pushups?

A

Because puppy stretch stretches the pecs and puppy stretch does not. Pushups work your pecs!

48
Q

What are the safety restrictions in reverse pushups?

A

No more than a 5 count hold

49
Q

In which RPU positions can you give the option to lift one leg to vertical?

A

Parallel

50
Q

What is the order of form errors to adjust in RPUs?

A
  1. Fingers forward
  2. Shoulders over wrists (move forward or back)
  3. Get students to bend their elbows only
51
Q

Can you tell students to work bigger in RPUs?

A

No!

52
Q

Do you need to announce the total number of pushups at the beginning of pushups?

A

No; you can triage first then give them how many they have left

53
Q

Do you need to announce the total number of RPUs at the beginning of RPUs?

A

No; but give them the total reps ASAP so they can mentally prepare

54
Q

What are the tempos used in RPUs?

A

On tempo and pulse are most common; can give two count but NOT four count.

55
Q

What are the leg options in RPUs?

A

Parallel or diamond (diamond helps students get seats higher so they can bend elbows more and may be more challenging)

56
Q

Which muscles are stretched in the stretch after RPUs?

A

Triceps and lats

57
Q

What are the modifications for RPUs?

A
  1. Sit cross legged, pick up one large weight or two small weights, raise the weights up and down (1 inch) with elbows pointing upwards. Don’t bring weight above elbows????????
  2. Wrist issues can use pushup stands, hold on to weights, or use a mini mat (hands still face forward)
  3. A student with a shoulder injuries can put her hands on a riser, keeping her seat on the floor, bending and unbending elbows
58
Q

What is the challenge option for strong students?

A

Lift one leg up as high as you can and switch halfway

59
Q

Where do you tell students to “fold” at different parts of SATB?

A

Forwards: “fold forward at your hips”
Sideways: “fold at the waist”

60
Q

How many times should students bend their knee in SATB?

A

One. Do not tell students to releve then bend and straighten their standing knee

61
Q

What is the choreography for giving a posterior balance in SATB?

A

Lower your leg, sweep it behind you, option to reach both arms behind you and hold for 8 slow counts

62
Q

What are the modifications for SATB?

A

Stall bar

63
Q

What are the bar options for heel lifts?

A

Facing into the bar or on parallel

64
Q

What are the max reps in heel lifts?

A

60

65
Q

When should you demo heel lifts?

A

If students are doing them on profile

66
Q

What are the 8 heel lift variations?

A
  1. Feet parallel
  2. Feet together
  3. Wide V
  4. Second position (2 ft from each other)
  5. Fourth position (wide V with one foot a few inches forward of the other foot)
  6. One foot
  7. Leaning into the bar
  8. Pigeon toed
67
Q

What are the rules for giving heel lifts on one foot?

A

Legs turned out and one foot lifted and pointed and its ankle resting behind standing ankle. Facing into the bar only.

68
Q

What are the rules for giving heel lifts leaning diagonally into the bar?

A

Parallel or feet together only. Do not give lifts with one foot raised.

Stand on a mini mat or make the movement smaller in range

70
Q

What are the challenge options for strong students?

A

Hands off the bar
