I had a chance to play at the Boise parkour park a I had a chance to play at the Boise parkour park a few weeks ago. What an amazing spot! It’s under a bridge so you have some protection from the elements. It’s also across from a skatepark to double your pleasure. How cool would it be to see more cities build parks like this? Props to @parkour.visions for the great design. #parkourpark #parkourtraining #boiseidaho #publichealth #urbandesign #skatepark #streetworkout #bodyweightfitness #lazyvault

*CHASE DOWN YOUR WEAKNESS* When I was a teenager *CHASE DOWN YOUR WEAKNESS* When I was a teenager I had two surgeries for a chronically dislocating shoulder. During my recovery I was told that I should avoid overhead activities. Any dynamic arms-over-the-head movements were too risky. Tennis and rock climbing were to be avoided at all costs. At the time, the idea of thrusting a 70 lb kettlebell overhead would have been completely insane. 25 years later, it’s now a welcomed training tool. You get there by leaning in, and embracing the struggle. Start small. Work your way up. #strengthmob #kettlebellsnatches #backyardworkout #strengthtraining #quarantinefitness #kettlebellworkout

Jumping over an obstacle = scarier than jumping on Jumping over an obstacle = scarier than jumping onto the obstacle. Agree or Disagree? Here is a sequence - hardest to easiest - for clearing a rail without your hands: 1. Standing hurdle tuck jump 2. 3-step hurdle tuck jump 3. Running hurdle #parkourstrength #jumptraining #hurdlehop #boxjumps #legpower
How do you prefer to train your L-sits? Flat groun How do you prefer to train your L-sits? Flat ground or parallettes? I default to training them on parallettes, because it is honestly so much easier to get that neutral wrist position. It’s always humbling to try any of the static holds directly on the ground. #lsit #parkourstrength #calisthenics #streetworkout #bodyweightexercises #thesemadskills
Stair Jump Variations 🐇 Stair jumps are a hybr Stair Jump Variations 🐇 Stair jumps are a hybrid plyometric skill that mash-up the height of a box jump with the distance of a broad jump. To perform them, you first ought to be comfortable doing either skill (broad jump or box jump) solo. Once your take off and landing mechanics are dialed in, here is a progression to try: 1. Two-legged take off and landing 2. Single-leg take off and landing 3. Single/double leg take off and landing combos. A few things to consider: - Start with smaller amplitude motions - Aim for quiet landings - Minimize foot contact with the ground - Try to stick your final landing with a clean precision #parkourstrength #plyometrics #jumptraining #bodyweightfitness #broadjumps #boxjumps

Inverted Pushing Strength Progression 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️ 1. Pike Push-up 2. Jackknife Push-up 3. Parallette Jackknife Push-up 4. Handstand Push-up Build enough strength in each precursor movement that you can do multiple sets of at least 3-5 reps before advancing. If you don’t have the strength to hold the top of a position, don’t try lowering yet. And, of course, be ready to bail if your arms give out. A good intermediate step to build strength for one of the more advanced skills, is to focus on just the eccentric/lowering phase. Lower your self down slowly, then get out of the position and walk your feet and arms back to the starting point. #bodyweightexercises #handstandpushup #parallettestraining #garagegym #thesemadskills #pikepushup

Word on the street is that it’s near impossible Word on the street is that it’s near impossible to score kettlebells anymore. Too much at-home fitnessing going on apparently. If you are wanting to level up your strength training but can’t seem to land any new iron, get creative and add a resistance band to whatever you’ve got. Here are a few exercises that transform nicely by adding a resistance band to your kettlebell: 1. Single leg RDL 2. Goblet curl 3. 3-point row There are so many more you could come up with. Be flexible in how you attach and tension the band. I had to double it up for the RDL. #kettlebellworkout #resistancebandsworkout #athomeworkout #garageworkout #quarantinefitness #thesemadskills

Narrow grip muscle-ups??!! A massive pull and quic Narrow grip muscle-ups??!! A massive pull and quick roll-over are key. Chicken winging is practically impossible due to the amount of balance and coordination needed to get over the bar. In fact, they feel oddly good to these aging shoulders. Give em a GO! H/T to @barstarzz and @hannibalforking1 for the funky variation. #muscleup #calisthenics #parkourstrength #bodyweightworkouts #streetworkout #thesemadskills
