Hi Veena! I was wondering, what is the difference between the Side hold tuck and the Side pole hold? I am tucking my knees up on the latter as well. Thanks!
Nothing other than one is more about technique, the side hold. The truck is just that, focusing on tucking as an exercise.
Hi, is there anything else I can work on so I can start lowering the outside arm from the extended grip or is that just something that’ll come with time working on the side hold tuck?
Are you working through a program? I highly recommend it if not. You’ll build the strength and skills needed as you progress though any of the beginning programs. 💜 If you don’t want to use a program work on Bicep curls, front raises, rear pulls and lateral pull downs all listed in the strength and conditioning section.
