Just stumbled upon this amazing work of art on facebook! This is the first time I hear about Andrey but his act left me speechless. I thoroughly enjoyed his choreography. And although I’ve seen all of his moves performed by others before he managed to give handbalancing and acrobatics a new taste successfully mixing it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
