GHR – Training Specific Strength
A simple, intuitive, essential tool. A sort of "trolley" which in its apparently banal sliding on the ground as well as along a wall is able to offer training stimuli of great value, effectiveness and interest.
Belonging to the class of Proprioceptive tools il GHR proposed by Sidea embodies an element of great difference compared to the classic "wheels" of which the sector is saturated: its stability on the ground.
But let's proceed in order.
in the domain ofFunctional Training so-called tools Proprioceptives they have the purpose of making our comparison with the surfaces with which we come into contact in our movement more difficult.
Surfaces unstable in equilibrium such as the Freeman's table or in friction as le PowerWheel, add to our ability to perform movements an element of further difficulty that requires important stabilizing actions charged to our system.
Le PowerWheel to which the GHR stands alongside by distinguishing itself, they allow exercises based on the principle of rolling on the ground or against a wall of the object that supports our body in the execution of the movement itself; train the core as well as the Posterior Kinetic Chain (Buttocks, Hamstrings and their synergists) is a possibility already known to those involved in Functional Training with particular attention to Quality of the Movement itself.
Il GHR however it overcomes an intrinsic limit of PowerWheel: their need to be used with both hands or both feet.
The ground stability of the GHR makes it possible monopodalic use or with one hand, paving the way for a practically infinite amount of further movements for the training of what is called Specific Strength.
La Specific Strength it is a harmonious and balanced combination of expression of Strength, Stability, Mobility and Control of the performed gesture. Defined in this way due to the specificity of said Combined in relation to each exercise or movement being performed, the Specific Strength found in the use of GHR a precious and irreplaceable ally when you want to associate, for example, pushing actions on the ground or against a wall, an action to control the trajectory along which the force expressed in the movement itself is applied.
Let's take for example the push Up, performed with one hand resting on the ground and the other holding one of the two bars of the GHR, placed in such a way that sliding on the ground sees its lateral removal with respect to the Athlete's body.
During the eccentric (push-up) phase of the exercise, the hand grasping the GHR it moves it away from the body laterally, thus implying two specific aspects of the push Up made:
– A significant shift of the weight load on the arm resting on the ground
– A stabilizing action of great intensity on the shoulder of the arm which is extended thanks to the movement of the GHR.
Furthermore, in the subsequent concentric phase (rising from the ground) the recall action of the outstretched arm will allow the muscle complex involved to start the movement from a condition of greater stretching, increasing the effectiveness of the exercise itself from a muscular as well as a joint point of view .
It's just an example, of course, but one that's meant to call attention on the importance of using the GHR even in the execution of movements that are often performed with a certain simplicity by our usual Users.
