POSITION 2 (CLIMBS,
JUMPS, HOVERS,
SPRINTS)
In Position 2 the hands are extended in the
forward position. This position is commonly
used for climbs, jumps, hovers and sprints
where leverage is needed.
•
This forward position encourages further
recruitment in the hips and is a more
powerful position to use when sprinting and
climbing, seated or standing
•
Relax shoulders, keep elbows soft and face
forward
•
Avoid excessive rounding of the back -
indicates too much pulling on the bars and
building tension in the back muscles;
wasting energy.
UPPER-BODY AND HAND POSITIONS
The position of the upper body is key in achieving good form and technique. The
positioning of the hands will determine posture, breathing, comfort levels and can
determine the objective for the particular block of workout such as a seated climb or
sprint.
POSITION 1
(SEATED CLIMBS,
WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN)
In Position 1 the hands are placed on the horizontal part
of the handlebars. This position is commonly used for
seated climbs as well as recovery.
•
This position encourages a comfortable, upright
position ensuring chest is open and breathing is
easier
•
Relax shoulders, apply a loose grip to the bars and
keep elbows soft – this position ensures that tension
is reduced and no unnecessary energy is wasted
