Muslce Bound, that truly doesn't exist!

It's funny, in the training world there still exists the belief that strength and muscle mass are somehow mutually explosive to flexibility. That somehow, training for strength and muscle will make you "Muscle Bound." Well, if you do it correctly, nothing could be further from the truth!

Here's some proof!!

 

 

 

People are Strange

People are strange. It's funny, you can dedicate your entire life to the study of fitness and nutrition, health and wellness, performance, and physique development; earning dozens of professional certifications in each. You can have 20 years of experience training literally 100's of people from all walks of life and all ages to successfully accomplishing their fitness, health and nutrition goals; then move them on reaching goals they never even dreamed of. And you can live a healthy lifestyle and follow your own methods to become a damn good living advertisement of the effectiveness of your methods. Yet, there are still so many people, many in your supposed circle of friends and relatives; who have never trained anyone, never studied, and don't even train themselves that truly believe they know better and will literally tell you that you're not only wrong, but that you have no idea what you're talking about in regards to healthy living, training, eating, supplementing, etc. It'll always make me scratch my head.

Despite 8 months away.....

Despite being away from any type of gymnastics and acrobatic training, it was nice to know that I could jump in today and be better than when I left off. Had fun playing with some Straddle Planches, Handstands, and the V-sit to Handstand to Straddle Planche to V-sit combo during my morning today.  Here's the pics of the 1st and 2nd Straddle Planche and the V-sit at the beginning of the combo; and the vids of the 1st Straddle Planche and the first Combo in 8 months.

Hmmm....can't believe I'm actually going to say this but Taylor Swift is right, haters gonna hate, hate, hate, lol. Had a few people try to rip me apart for the relaxed pose yesterday because there were no abs in it. So, herre's a few pics from this morning that show, yes, even with crappy lighting and a crappy camera, the abs are still poppin'.
