Hi. Today I asked you on our Facebook page to share some photos of your home gyms and your workout equipment there. The goal behind this task is to exchange ideas with each other and see what is needed to properly exercise at home. I stopped visiting public gyms around 2 and a half years [...]
We are not doing enough Triceps/chest/shoulders work. Let’s get onto it then! 1.Assisted Muscle-Up We tried many ideas of working the Muscle-Up and I feel like the old school way to approach it might be the most beneficial. It’s all about providing a tad bit of help when you spot somebody. In Tosho’s case I [...]
This time the workout was leaning towards the Front Lever. 1.Windshield Wipers So, we are making a little progress with these. Tosho is doing more and more repetitions but his form needs a lot of work still. 2.Pseudo Windshield Wipers That’s why we did several more series on the bench so he can work it [...]
This workout was mainly dedicated to the triceps and shoulders strentgth. 1.Dragon Flag We started with the Dragon Flag just because Tosho was eager to test his form. Obviously it’s getting as good as it could be. He says he is still weak because he can’t do 10 clean reps, hahaha. :) 2.Dips Notice how [...]
This was Tosho’s first workout when he held the one leg extended Back Lever on his own. Form was not perfect but hey it was out of the picture just like a month ago! We are steadily progressing and that’s making me happy! :)
Alright so this one doesn’t look as intense as the previous workouts but after all the weighted pull-ups for time in the first exercise Tosho was worn off. 1.Speed Pull-Ups I figured the Muscle-Up will be easier for Tosho if he has an explosive Pull-up. This way he could generate some initial momentum and help [...]
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 [...]
