GHR - Training Specific Strength
A simple, intuitive, essential tool. A sort of 'trolley' that 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 Instruments, the GHR proposed by Sidea encompasses an element of great difference from the classic 'wheels' the sector is saturated with: its stability on the ground.
But let us proceed in order.
In the domain of Functional Training, so-called proprioceptive tools are intended to make our confrontation with the surfaces we come into contact with in our movement more difficult.
Unstable surfaces in balance such as Freeman's Table or in friction such as Power Wheels, add to our ability to perform movements an element of additional difficulty that requires important stabilising actions on our system.

The Power Wheels to which the GHR stands out, 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; training the Core as well as the Posterior Kinetic Chain (Glutei, Hamstrings and their synergistic elements) is a possibility already known to those who deal with Functional Training with particular attention to the Quality of Movement itself.
However, the GHR overcomes an inherent limitation of Power Wheels: their need to be used with both hands or both feet.

The GHR's ground stability makes single-handed or one-handed use possible, opening the way to a virtually infinite number of further movements for training what is termed Specific Strength.
Specific Strength is a harmonious and balanced combination of expression of Strength, Stability, Mobility and Control of the executed gesture. Defined in this way because of the specificity of said Combined in relation to each exercise or movement performed, Specific Strength finds in the use of GHR a precious and irreplaceable ally when one wants to associate, for example, with actions of pushing on the ground or against a wall, an action of control of the trajectory along which the force expressed in the movement itself is applied.
Take for example the Push Up, performed with one hand resting on the ground and the other grasping one of the two bars of the GHR, placed in such a way that the slide on the ground sees it move away from the Athlete's body to the side.
During the eccentric (bending on the ground) phase of the exercise, the hand grasping the GHR actually pulls it away from the body laterally, thus implying two specific aspects of the Push Up performed:
- A significant shift of the weight load on the arm when resting on the ground
- A stabilising action of great intensity on the shoulder of the arm that is stretched by the displacement of the GHR.
Moreover, in the subsequent concentric phase (rising from the ground), the recall action of the outstretched arm will allow the muscle complex involved to begin the movement from a condition of greater elongation, increasing the effectiveness of the exercise itself from the muscular as well as the articular point of view.
This is just an example, of course, but one that is intended to draw attention to the importance of using the GHR even when performing movements that are often performed with a certain simplicity by our regular users.
PIERLUIGI MAURO
He has around thirty years of experience in the field of Athletic Preparation and Physical Activity. A former A.M. officer, in parallel with his studies in Electronic Engineering, he dedicated himself to Functional Training, starting as early as 1998 to use kettlebells for athletic preparation in Canoeing and Kayaking.For several years he has been interested in the use of the Macebell, and has studied and codified different training methodologies based exclusively on this instrument, becoming a profound connoisseur of the physical and biomechanical dynamics associated with it and the main Italian exponent of Macebell Training.
3rd Level Technician "Master - Sport Specialist" of the Italian Weightlifting Federation with qualification "Kettlebell Specialist"He is F.I.PE. National Technical Manager and Federal Lecturer for the "Functional Strength and is a member of the National Union of Sports Kinesiologists. Author of the book 'Functional Strength - High Intensity Functional Training Method' published by Calzetti & Mariucci for the Strength Academy F.I.PE.
He is the creator and founder of the 'Crossout Functional Training' community, a reality present throughout the country with more than 150 professionally trained trainers in just the first three years of diffusion.
