This class is for all my advanced users who want to progressively overload their Spine. Now obviously all these movements are self-effort based, and you don't have to use weights, so you can scale down the intensity and go at your own pace if needed. It's always wise to build up gradually with intensity and loaded movements - start off slow and steadily build your capacity through weeks and months of training. Don't go balls to the wall, always listen to your body.

We take a lot of our traditional spine movements and we increase the intensity and load, thus forcing lines of tissue to absorb more force, which through consistent training will create greater strength adaptations.

I hope your spines feel extra buttery after this one!
