Handstand to Planche


From Monday night's training session here's my 3rd set of Handstand to Planche. I'd never tried these in my own training, but I love them.  The first two sets weren't too pretty. But set three wasn't too bad. My hips are pretty high, but the movement felt good.

A classic and highly effective form of push ups


This is one of my personal favorite forms of push ups. I learned at as the Atlas Push up, named after the great Charles Atlas who made it the cornerstone of his amazing programs. A great one for strength, flexibility and stability as well as for chest, shoulder, triceps, midsection and back development. I hope you like it.

I'm not one for selfies, but not bad for someone that doesn't necessarily train for physique development.


I'm not really a big fan of selfies or shirtless selfies, but I have to say; not bad for someone that doesn't necessarily train for physique development.
