where if a workout like Elizabeth came up (21-15-9 of cleans and ring

progression template.

The static dip hold is a isometric exercise intended to build the


stabilizing structures that will be used in phase 2 where your goal is to
get a bodyweight dip. Each of the following progressions you should
have your elbows extended and your shoulders pulled back so that are
not in-caved. The parallette’s should be set 1 cubit apart – i.e. the
distance from your elbow to the tip of your middle finger.

1. Parallette’s – feet extended straight with heels on the ground.
