Great vids, the leanness of model helps to illustrate to us the bone’s movement.

Steven,

Check out part number three of the series. I’d add resistance while prone and then progress to upright.

Would you progress to doing this with resistance while still prone, or move to an upright position for lifting?
Thanks.

When previously doing the prone Y I always used to do higher reps and perform it as part of the YTWL circuit, but now I’m thinking I’ll be more apt to teach the movement by itself and focus more on quality of movement than quantity to improve motor control.

I’m thinking perhaps 2-3 sets x 5-8 reps done on 2-4 times per week depending on need. Obviously more frequency and less reps will be needed in the beginning.

Thanks for the videos Mark, that was the best explanation/demonstration of the Prone Y that I’ve ever seen. The idea of eccentrically loading the LT before externally rotating and depressing makes so much sense.
