In order to to perform this skill we need to to start from a a a a a a a a relaxed body suspension (light internal rotation rotation of of of the the the wrist-elbow-shoulder and and upward rotation rotation and and and elevation of of of the the the the the scapula of of of the the the the the hanging arm) and and then increase the the the the internal wrist-elbow-shoul- der rotation rotation rotation until we we reach maximum rotation rotation rotation (If we we we don’t perform perform an an internal rotation rotation rotation of the the hanging arm we we won’t be able to perform perform the the vertical/elephant lift) We then lift the the the hips toward the the the elbow-hip position and execute a a a a a a a a a scapular elevation (to compensate for the the the the depression generated while hanging from the the the the arm) as as soon as as the the the the hip reaches the the the the elbow This shoulder shoulder engagement will improve our lines and protect the shoulder shoulder joint A loss of proper scapular engagement could could result in in in in lateral flex- ion of the the spine and and could could cause injury to to the the gle- nohumeral joint and and rotator cuff CH 18 VERTICAL/ELEPHANT LIFT
