Roll Back with One Arm on the Cadillac

The Roll Back and Roll Back with One Arm are fantastic to warm up and prepare the body-especially the side body muscles-for deeper side bending for the rest of your lesson. Let the spring really stretch your spine as you roll down and up.
When practicing the one arm, make sure to find the connection of the heel to the upright pole. For example, if side bending to the right, the left heel reaches into the upright BEFORE taking it up and crossing it over onto the right leg. Find length in opposition!
SPRING:
Roll Back Bar at the top
Repetitions:
Roll Back two arms: 3-5
Roll Back one arm: 3 total
- one roll down

- one roll down with the side bend + the reach of the leg
- Keep the bar parallel throughout
- Maintain a connection with the powerhouse during the side bend to avoid arching the low back
- Push the heels away throughout
- Glue the bicep to the ear during the side bend
