Good morning!
I am a 24 y/o male, 5’10, 210 lbs, and am looking for a bodyweight only program to address the following (very) modest needs:
-general strength, nothing crazy, I don’t even really care about being able to lift heavy, just my own body weight is enough
-flexibility, to aid in...
Inspired by the new stretching program by StrongFirst (and not wanting to fill that thread with a derailed conversation):
Q: Is there an upper body equivalent for mobility to achieving the front/side splits?
I often see upper body stretching as just something to do as often as possible (do...
I'm curious about people's favorite morning recharge and evening mobility routines/movements? These are separate from any main training sessions. In my mind both have some of the following goals:

preventative/prehab and corrective for lifestyle issues (i.e...
I can do a left front split but whenever I try to do it with square hips but whenever I do, I feel a stretch behind the knee(between the hamstring and the calf) just in this part. Some other things involving hamstring stretches always make me feel a stretch in this area and I'm not sure whether...

Hi to everyone.
Long time since I have been present around here. With regard to my previous posts, I am happy to report that my elbows, wrists and shoulders are very very well, received proper training from Hector Guttierez, Jr. (fantastic instructor, coach and friend) regarding swing, goblet...
I am starting the relax into stretch routine and for the stretches I was wondering how long do you hold each stretch or do you keep going until you can`t go any deeper?
Hi all,
I have been using the Cossacks more often and I have noticed my pancake and splits progress accelerating because of it. My question is how heavy should I be looking to go? I have been using 16 or 20kgs lately and alternating it with Jefferson curls for 3 sets of 5 each.
Personally, I'm...
Hey guys, I'm looking at taking the October bodyweight 1-day course in Exeter, NH.
Should I look into getting the Naked Warrior or any other resources to prep for the workshop? I'm not really sure how the schedule of the workshop itself breaks down and would like to get as much from the...
