The first progression consists in us feeling how's the extension of the elbows can help us go back forwards, which is where we wanna go after we have timbered in an attempt to recover the balancing zone.
1. starting back to the wall, bend your elbows
- your foot is still on the wall: press on your fingers to take off in that bent elbow position
- stabilise a couple of seconds here
- extend elbows
- as you extend your elbows bring pelvis and leg towards the wall
- land on the wall
The second progression is the same as the first one with an emphasis on what happens once you are extending the elbows: not only do we want to go back to the balancing zone, we want to be able to do so with control!
you will now have to push on your fingers as hard as needed as to not crash on the wall but either land softly or even better freeze in the extended elbow position.
