Rising Block Drill

Today I’ve gone to an old method of practicing the rising block. I step into a forward bow stance, firm up my core (a little bit to start) and use alternate arms to practice rising blocks.

In this drill, I go fast and hard. The combination of going from a firm core to a tight core (at the end of the block) and then relaxing back to firm (between blocks) is easy to do slow but harder to do fast.

The longer I make this drill the harder it becomes so it must be done in short intervals with a pause between sets or I lose my crisp form.

Without prejudice
