An awesome circuit from Friday's training


Here's an awesome circuit from Friday night's training. Great for burning fat, building muscle, gaining strength/ speed/ power, awesome cardio, great for so many things.

1-arm cartwheels from Monday's practice

My third practice session working on this particular version of the 1-arm cartwheel. It's a slightly different way to get into the cartwheel, but I like it. It feels like there's a ton of power.

Tucked Planche Push ups


The final set of tuck planche push ups on the prallets from last night's training. Super setted with Front lever holds and scapula depression and retractions. These are feeling stronger, better body position and deeper range of motion.

First morning practice after a back off week wrap up



Back to work after a nice back off week. Here's the wrap up of the first morning practice session which included false grip pull-ups, 1-arm cartwheels, handstand holds, Y-scales, butterfly jumps, front punch tuck (front flip) preps, back flip preps, aerial cartwheel preps, muscle ups, and more. A fun way to mix floor work and rings work for the day. Felt really awesome and strong, great to be back after a week off.

Freestanding Handstand Push-up on Parallets


I was nailing 4's for the first 4 sets, so I decided to go for 5 on the last set of the freestanding handstand push-ups on my parallets. Made 5 reps, but they were much higher than I'd like. I'll work on that on Friday.

Attempt at a 535 pound Zercer Squat


If you're going to post your success you also have to post a failure. I had just nailed a 525 pound Zercher squat, but just couldn't make it with 535 pounds.

Handstand to Straddle Planche on the Parallets


My handstands were feeling really rocking and so were my handstands to tucked planche, so I decided to up the ante and go for the straddle planche. Not bad for the first few sets ever of working this movement.
