I've spend my entire live training, competing and performing handstands at the highest level. My parents both were gymnasts and dancers. My grandfather was the national coach of the East German Gymnastics team. I was literally made to coach you!

February 20 2022 5:30PM-8:00PM

The field of bodyweight strength is huge. During this workshop we start with a bit of theory exploring different ways to divide the subject. We will analyze the difference between skill oriented bodyweight training and bodyweight bodybuilding and how to achieve each.

We then start with a precise warm up including injury prevention protocols, necessary stretches to make movements efficient and awareness drills.
During the next hour we will work our way through different body weight drills and progressions with big attention to form to ensure efficiency and longevity.

Some of the topics we will cover during this workshops include:

*Warm Up & Injury Prevention
*Plateau Breaking strategies
*Planches
*Bent Arm Press Progressions
*Straight arm pulling skills from Skin the Cat to Levers
*Muscle Ups

All exercises will be provided in multiple levels to suit all levels.

This workshop is suitable for you if you want to learn how to improve your strength and fitness through bodyweight strength only, if you are trying to break existing plateaus in your gymnastics strength practice or if you are looking for help with specific strength skills.

 In order to expand your experience, you will get access to a free online video training program based on the exercises done during our time together.
