LOW HEX BAR. WHEN FORM EXPANDS THE HORIZON OF FUNCTION.
Intuitive. Innovative. Unexplored. These are the first three definitions that spring to mind when one observes for the first time the “9012/3 Low Hex Bar”, the new project of Sidea in the field of Overload Tools.
Una crafts definitely innovative, which nevertheless determines an intuitive approach to its use, opening up an unexplored domain of possibilities of use, of movements, of training stimuli.
We have already had the opportunity to consider the three essential cornerstones of Movement in the world of Functional Training: Strength, Mobility, Stability. The new Low Hex Bar 9012/3 puts in new, closely related these three aspects, thanks to an approach to movement that is free in multiplanarity despite a solid and supportive bond with the athlete who is placed at the center of a real "cage of strength".
Therefore, it is inspired by the Force, Movement and Stability that we have experienced a short routine with the Low Hex Bar.
The initial approach is of a handle that inspires strength and power, in a neutral grip, an obsolete element in the use of traditional barbells. A wide grip, from which the first, intuitive movement begins: lo Deadlift.
The feeling of stability which is tested by managing the overload with a grip like the one just described it's incredible.
The hands, clasped on the grips in their physiological position, together with the arms perfectly perpendicular to the frontal plane of the body and held in slight abduction by the 9012/3 itself, transfer the Low Hex Bar all the strength that the legs offer in their push, without compromises or vectors of dispersive forces.
From here, the exploration of a specific movement of this tool: the execution of a Back Lounge with the torsion of the torso in the direction ipsilateral to the support leg, performed on both sides.
Torsion which, in addition to the mobility implied by the movement itself, further solicits the Stability of the athlete and tests its ability to overcome the inertial rotational forces that the Low Hex Bar generates during its movement.
The return phase of the athlete to the upright position and subsequently to the ground Low Hex Bar, offers the possibility of a stable and favorable support for immediate relaxation Plank.
Un push up performed with an advantageous support from the point of view of weight - given the slight inclined plane that is created - but at the same time challenging for the position in which the hands express the force generated by the kinetic chain of front thrust, creates a sudden coupling effect between “lower & upper body movements".
The illustrated routine is just one of the countless possibilities that the Trainer can and must explore with competence and creativity.
Because, let's remember it once again, the Low Hex Bar it's definitely the tool that was missing in the domain of functional overloads.
A unique and simply Intuitive, Innovative and Unexplored tool.
