Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

HOD its not a drill but its one I'm finding usfule when I'm getting in a tizz. I stop point my hips forward and just fall and let your legs go. Don't pull, don't correct anything just feel the fall and how your legs are doing their thing. Get that felling that your legs are only stopping you from face planting. Then add a tiny, tiny pull enough to break contact with the ground but keep that loose effortless feeling in your legs. Seems to be helping me somewhat

Its not a huge push, its hard to secribe in words. You know when you do the lean drill? You don't actually push you just let yourself go and you fall. When you do the over exaggereated you get that falling fear. Like a panic. Try it closer to the wall, try and remember that feeling that's what your aimimg for. I'm not explaining it well am I?

Anyone seen/heard anything about these?

I'd like to try a pair out. I like the classics, but I find the elastic digs in to the top of my foot. These could be an option for me :)

Nor is my emglish. Try this, do the fall drill in the middle of the wall. What happens? Your foot catches you no? Try it again but just keep falling, your feet just keep stopping you from falling face first. You can't feel any muscular effort either IMHO, your legs are just doing. Add the pull and it seems to work for me, HR goes down pace goes up!

HOD, like eL Bee and I have said you have an active landing or 'reaching' for the landing. I use the 'bend a little more at the knee' quite effectively as it basically shortens the stride by reducing the length of the pendulum (your legs). While I don't like using the word stride, I've seen people take to this trick well. Think of it as an aide to learning Pose rather than a focus. Your focus should be on your pull, this may help you to get there quicker.

Boab I've tried that bending the knee thing and found it strange in that I felt stiffer. That of course means I'm doing it wrong but one thing it does is shorten the stride as you say. I think I need to video again and see what's happening when I'm doing it to see my problem. I think my neighbours think I'm an idiot who loves being filmed

P.E, HOD, to execute the fall drill effectively stand with pose feet on the ground, knees slightly bent and hips, bof, shoulders all in line. Now lean forward from the ankles, feel the weight on the bof. The key here is to release tension in the ankles. The body will start to fall forward, there is no push, it's a release. You can Also try this in pose stance as well
