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
