Back lever work today. It’s time to do the back. 1.Pseudo Back Lever Uhmmm, not quite there, not quite there. Recently I’ve noticed Tosho has some “stronger” workouts and some “weaker” ones. Factors like emotional condition, stress and such do reflect on your performance. Be consistent and do consider what’s happening if you encounter a [...]

This time we worked towards the front lever. That’s Tosho’s weakest link right now together with the Muscle-Up. We have lots of catching up to do. So I’ll focus his training towards his back, triceps and shoulders for the next several months. 1.Front Lever Lowering Lift your body up until you touch the bar with [...]

On today’s workout we worked towards the Muscle-Up. What differs this training session from the previous ones is that we implemented some speediness in it. My goal is to get Tosho to develop some explosiveness. So far I’ve always made him work every exercise in a slow and controlled fashion. Which is good for developing [...]

I came up with another exercise for the transition part of the Muscle-Up. Seeing what a hard time Tosho is having connecting the pull-up with the dip I was stimulated into developing another exercise. I do believe this one is better than what I showed in the Muscle-Up tutorial. Nonetheless both are good and will [...]

So it’s time for some deloading again. I used the opportunity to strengthen Tosho’s forearm muscles. Oftenly neglected they can stop one’s whole training if injured. That’s why make sure they keep up with the rest of your body muscles. The whole forearm training will not only strengthen the forearm muscles but the tendons there [...]

The cherry of the cake this time are the weighted chin-ups. It was a testing day for Tosho and his pulling strength. All the rest of the workout was a “filling”. 1.Weighted Chin-Ups I was quite happy seeing him pull the weight with such ease! For 2 reps too! It’s a new PR for him, [...]

Today’s workout is dedicated to back and biceps. Couple of the muscle groups heavily engaged in the back lever. Obviously that’s our goal right now for the next several months. 1.Back Lever Again the back lever, I am still helping him with it but I am feeling his strength is growing everyday. I am anticipating [...]
