I thought I’d made some progress in training until someone forwarded me this guy Coach Geoff’s Blog. This guy is seriously into training. Take a look at his Leonidas workout. Not bad, not bad at all. Of course I got to work on it right away. Most of the stuff I’m pretty solid on. My burpees are strong, but with a back tuck I’d only try in the gym with padding, I guess I could probably manage three. And then there’s the infamous holy grail, the planche pushup.
Well I have been training them on parallette’s. I uploaded a vid for those interested in a ball planche pushup. These are tough by themselves. I’m up to a max of about 15 in a row. Tough indeed!
Ok, I’m pretty happy with my progress on those. Anyway, after watching Coach Geoff, and various youtube vids of these guys doing planche pushups I noticed they rock into them a bit. So I gave that a try. I managed to do some weak ones, but these definitely tire you out a lot! So some new progress I think.
Give me a few weeks and I should have a good 5 rep set. Cross your fingers!!
This is a cool blog… I like you exercises. Those bars are great. I can see so many great combinations for core training, shoulders, arms, gosh can go on forever.
Keep this stuff coming. Did you build those yourself?
I look forward to visiting this more and seeing more about you workouts. Do you lift weights at all or do you mainly keep it all body weight?
