I’ve started doing wrestler’s bridges again.
Same thing I did last time (last fall), shooting for a 60 second hold or longer, then adding weight.
What I learned doing this before is to train some “reps” in addition to the hold, and to do some pullovers and pressing.
That way you’re training past the line of “damn it I can’t do reps here though I can support it” or “damn it I can’t pull the dumbells into position while in position”.
I had run into this issue when I’d hit the 60lb preload and was switching to dumbbells for the hold.
I’ll build the base at pf, and then go to my barbell for video when I’m pullover and pressing heavier from the bridge.
There’s an aspect to the bridge that I love :
It’s a whole lot more than neck training in one go.
The position builds the spinal muscles in a unique way which I feel is invigorating.
If I’m not doing glute bridges, a wrestler’s bridge has the top static for the glutes.
The thigh stimuli is analogous to wall sits.
It is a full body exercise.
