Considering how I started so inflexible and weak many years back, its amazing some of the things I can do now. And now you can do it to. This video shows a few moves in the course that are within your reach
First let?s talk about the Wrestlers Bridge.
The famous strongman George Jowett once said, ?In both man and the other male beasts, the neck has always been the true indication of the quality and quantity of his concentrated nerve power. A strong healthy man always has a powerful neck, and he always will have one.?
The wrestlers bridge is a full body exercise. It is not just a neck exercise but it is the best way to build a strong neck, bar none.
I started bridging and worked my way up until a could hold one for over 5 minutes without much effort. A great start but this only got me so far. Plus I was always interested in cutting down the amount of time I needed to spend.
A bodyweight bridge will become easy for you like it did for me. So I began to add resistance.
Bridging needs to be progressive just like any other part of your body. It?s a simple concept that almost everyone neglects. Time is one method but not the only one.
I quickly found out a few things that no one was teaching. Such as where the weight sits having a dramatic impact on the difficulty of the exercise.
But adding weight is only half of it. There are a number of ways to add resistance or otherwise make bridging harder without adding weight of any kind.
Now the Gymnastic Bridge.
If anything I would say this one more difficult. Not often do you find one move that requires great strength and amazing flexibility.
How would you like to develop the agility of a gymnast?
In my gymnastics class all the girls would perform back walkovers, but our teacher had men do something else like front headsprings. Why was this? Because men aren?t as naturally flexible as the women.
Because of my bridging experience I was able to do this move after some practice. After all it is just a quicker version of falling into a bridge and kicking over. I may never be as graceful as a woman but I was able to figure this one out.
There are so many different moves the combinations are endless. You don?t need to be a contortionist to get started.
